Beautiful rustic historical hotel. Still kept its character and charming past. I would recommend this to family and friends. If you can, get the 5th floor room with the tiny balcony, but usable. Decorative, make you fell like your really in France. Wifi was fast, felt like 5g. Yes, all the front desk staffs speak English, better than most American! They were soo nice and friendly; real friendly not the fake friendly you get at the airlines counter. Location is perfect, close to the RBR, metro, river boat taxi, walking distance to all the attractions and night life. My 1st time in Paris, Love it ! I was here in March, the slow season, not too many tourists, weather sunny all week. I was lucky people said. Bonjour !
