We were there during a heat wave so we appreciated the AC in our room, even though it was set to not go below 26C. The room was really large with a separate sitting room and large bathroom with a bathtub, shower and double sink. It was a great view of the Seine and we could see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. The lobby had no AC and was very hot but the restaurant was cooler. The breakfast room was quite warm and the food was only adequate.

The room was decent but has changed a lot since I visited last time; not well air conditioned and smell out of the bathroom. I felt it wasn’t worth the money. Would have been ok if the price included breakfast to offset the condition of the room.

Staff and location are the best part of the hotel. Location is few meters from metro station so you can travel to Paris center in few minutes. Rooms are small and the worst part was no air conditioning. Manager didn’t want the accept the fact and he proposed to send a technician. I heard from one of the staff that air conditioning wasn’t working properly for few days and Paris temperature was aggravating the issue. The fact is that build is made of glass outside so temperature increases tremendously inside the rooms.
