The hotel was decent, offering a basic room that was a little cramped but with a view over a Roman Amphitheatre. The staff was very friendly and helpful, catering to our needs, although some modernization of rooms would have been nice. The location was really good, close to Metro lines and nearby restaurants, making it convenient for exploring Paris. The dining experience was average, with good breakfast options if you're hungry, especially for non-French speakers. Overall, a stay with good value for the price but lacking some modern touches.

During my stay at the hotel, I found that the rooms were decent in size for Paris, quite comfortable, and had a nice bathroom. While they were clean and the personnel very friendly, they lacked furnishings and proper lighting, giving off more of a 1 or 2-star hotel vibe. Paying in cash due to the card machine being out of order for two days without prior notice was inconvenient, but the staff went above and beyond by safeguarding our luggage post-checkout as we explored Paris on our last day.
