We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful. Yes, it's far from most attractions, but the metro station just across the street means you should have quick access to the entire city unless there's a strike going on, which we did have to work around. We walked to the Eiffel Tower and Catacombs from here, and learned to use the buses. The quad room was comfortable for our quartet, and the 1.25 bathrooms were a welcome surprise. Lots of dining options in walking distance with a local feel but most with dual-language menus as well. We skipped the pricy breakfast buffet at the hotel though. There's instant coffee and tea in your room and wonderful bakeries nearby. It's a busy neighborhood during the day, lots of people and cars, but quieted down at night. read more
