Check the room first to see if it up to your standards. The location is superb, the hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. Our room was so hot we had to open the windows to cool it down. The bathroom door would not operate properly so modesty was thrown to the wolves. The elevator will not work if the gate is open on the ground floor and the night clerk has no interest in making sure it was closed. My spouse described it as rustic which means the very concept on maintenance probably faded during the war (II I am sure, but I would not be surprised at I). I did not notice AC, so I would hesitate to stay here in warmer weather. Overall it was fine, but with quirks.

We are not trying to be mean and we are not over exagerating. Imagine staying in a room for 5 nights with no air condition during the summer nor any form of ventilation except your window in chich you must find ways of closing it since everyone could peer into your room, I doubt this is a good place to stay. The double beds are basically two single beds merged into one. The wallpaper is tacky with olden rose petals designs and the floor is somewhat old and worn. Though the bathroom is clean there is hardly any room in the hotel and the service at the reception is horrid. We stayed on as we have paid or else we would have ran once we saw the place. It was just terrible.

This hotel was great. It was located right near the Effiel tower in Invalides. The staff were fantastic and very very helpful. If you are an American in Paris this is a great choice since the staff will help you figure out everything you need. They are very patient and polite. But, watch out for the beds. A single bed isn't that bad, but if you get a double you better becareful. Basically, a double at this hotel are two single beds pushed together with some type of blanket down the middle. This wouldn't be so bad if the beds were the same height. When I ever i turned over while asleep, i would roll down into the other bed!!

At the end of our trip to Nice, Arles, Carcassonne, Sarlat, St. Emilion, Mt. St. Michel, LaRochelle, Bayeux and Versailles, we arrived in Paris and H. St. Dominique which was recommended by Rick Steves. The staff are very good. The hotel is awful. The first room we were shown had a very slanted floor. While my spouse parked the car, I was shown another room in another building which was much worse. Then the 3d was somewhat better, and being tired after a long trip, we accepted it. The rug needed replacement (worn through), there was barely room to get around the bed (inches), the toilet seat was wobbly, and the hair dryer tube kept falling out of the wall receptacle. I did not have my laptop otherwise we would have left.
