Wonderful place with an amazing staff. Perfect for a true European experience. This is not an American type hotel. No ice, no refrigerator, and no elevator but it is full of Victorian charm and amazing people. The smiles and desire to please are real. You are steps away from multiple metro lines and RER, not to mention charming local restaurants, 2 amazing bakeries, a market, and a Burger King (if you absolutely have to). All of this is within a block or 2 of the hotel. A daily Continental breakfast is available but we only used it once, we much preferred the bakeries. The hard part was choosing which one. I am 68 and my granddaughter is 18. We both loved the place. Don't let the stairs scare you off.
