First off I loved the location of this hotel, you are in an actual neighborhood and get to see how Parisians live, work and play vs. being in a purely touristy area. The metro is very close by and you can walk to many sights including the Champs de Mar, Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Montparnasse, Also the open-air farmer's market on the Rue de Saxe is not to be missed, the main market is on Saturday morning with another one on Thurs., go early, they close right on time!
The room and bathroom were a very large size by European standards. The housekeepers closet adjoined the room and they banged around in there loudly for hours every morning, very rude and disruptive.
The lows were my sunglasses disappearing while a hotel staffer was working on our internet connection (which was out most of the time), after searching over and over for the glasses I was getting furious, suddenly when the worker left they were right on top of my purse, where I had looked a dozen times...I hate to accuse but I honestly think he took them and thought the better of it and put them back before leaving.
Another low is the breakfast buffet, it was close to 20 Euro and I deliberately never ate it for that very reason. I did do coffee a couple times...regardless when I got home I realized I was charged twice for breakfast buffet and they were real jerks about reversing the charge. They had no proof of the charges, since I had never signed for the buffet, so they finally/reluctantly reversed the charges. It put a bad taste in my mouth for sure!
Definitely review all of your room charges onsite before departing!

Dear Sir,
First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing the Tryp de Saxe for your stay in Paris and for your comments about our Hotel.
We are very sorry about the sunglasses. Our technician has been working in this Hotel for 10 years and we never had a matter like this before.
About the breakfast, we would like to inform you that we have 2 new promotions in order to reduce the price. We also have a continental breakfast served in your room for 8€.
Please receive again our apologies for the mistake concerning the charges of the buffet. We are already working with the departments involved in order to improve our services.
We all look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you at the TRYP Paris de Saxe in a near future.
Yours sincerely,
Stéphane Zabouri
