Great stay at Hôtel Eiffel Saint Charles. Check-in was simple with the friendly desk clerk (who took note from my passport that my birthday was in a few days). We were on the third floor. The elevator is quite small -- just enough room for the two of us and three backpacks. We had a Superior Room (Room 306) which was small, but comfortable and very clean, with a nice view of Rue de Saint Charles.. There was an in-room safe in the closet, and a regular blow dryer in the bathroom. No iron. Near the desk were two USB power ports, along with a standard plug. There were two other plugs in the room, and one in the bathroom (for the hairdryer). The bed was very comfortable, and we were given a full bottle of still water every day. Additionally, there was a water dispenser in the lobby (still and sparking) for free use. On my actual birthday, the hotel left a box of chocolates and a nice note on the bed -- such a thoughtful gesture!
Only used the TV twice. There wasn't much on in English other than the news. Did try to stream from iPhone to the TV, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't look to see if it had USB ports that might support movie files from a thumb drive.
It was roughly a 5 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. Almost a straight shot. The area around the hotel is commercial and residential; but quiet. We felt safe walking around both day and night. It was a bit rainy during our stay, and while I brought my own umbrella, the hotel did have umbrellas available.
