Positive:
The location is quite good just a 5 to 8-minute walk to the nearest metro station and only three stops away from the Eiffel Tower, The air conditioning worked well, which was essential during the hot summer days. The beds were large and comfortable, with extra pillows provided, the property has a charming, vintage-style elevator very small, fitting just one or two people at a time which adds character to the stay. The 12 pm checkout time was convenient.
Areas for Improvement:
The rooms and corridors are quite small, which might be expected in Paris, but still worth mentioning for travelers seeking more space. The toiletries provided were very basic an all-in-one dispenser for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A particularly unusual policy was being asked to leave the room key at reception every time I went out, which felt a bit outdated & inconvenient.
The biggest disappointment came at the end of my stay. I had left my luggage with the hotel after checkout, informing the staff that I would return to collect it at night before catching my train to Zurich. Unfortunately, my train was delayed and later canceled till early morning. I ended up returning around midnight. I politely requested to wait in the lobby for a few hours, explaining that the train station was closed during that time. Despite my situation and having been a paying guest, the receptionist firmly refused. This lack of flexibility and empathy was disappointing and left a negative final impression.
