The staff are very friendly and helpful. We arrived early, at about 9a.m. after a long flight but was fortunate to get an early check-in so we can have a shower and a little rest before going out for our city tours. The location is in a very quite residential area. It is only a few minutes' walk from the nearest metro station, but the weird thing is that none of the first 10 people we asked, including the clerk at the metro station, knew the locaiton of the hotel. The room is very very small and needs renovation. The aged elevator takes at most two people at a time and trembles and almost loses its breath as it carries us to our floor. Not all rooms have bathtubs, which is not so confortable in cold winter nights. Fortunately the staff were kind to help us switch to amnother room with bathtub. All in all, I would still think this a good experience and would consider coming back again on my futures trips to Paris.
