Nice boutique hotel at the eastern end of Champ du Mars, just a block off of Rue Cler. Tons of great boulangeries and cafes just outside the door. There's a Leader Price grocery store right on the corner, too. Ten-minute walk to Napoleon's tomb at Invalides, 15 minutes in the other direction to the Eiffel Tower. Easy metro access at the École Militaire stop.
Our room was ready when we arrived at noon. Comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom. The refrigerator was stocked with snacks and drinks, but we couldn't find prices for anything anywhere so we left that alone. Good water pressure in the shower and nice toiletries. The free WiFi worked well.
The walls are quite thin - we could hear the guy snoring from across the hall, and every cough from the guy in the room next to ours. We used the white noise app on my phone to try to drown it out, with about 80% success. The halls and elevator are dim and small, but the lobby is bright and welcoming. There's even an automatic shoeshine machine, which I thought was a nice touch.
The hotel contracts with a shuttle service to Charles De Gaulle airport for €36. Not cheap, but less than a taxi and well worth it to not have to ride the metro with a bunch of luggage. You can book it at the front desk a day in advance.
Overall, a good value in an absolutely outstanding location. We will definitely stay here again. read more
