great locationfriendly staffsweet courtyardsuper calm place
The hotel's location near the cathedral proved excellent, with a metro station easily accessible. The staff was friendly. A very sweet courtyard offered a genuinely Parisian atmosphere. I appreciated the absence of televisions in the rooms.
The room felt a bit old since it seemed last updated in the 90s.
