It was FILTHY! We left immediately, and the lazy woman at reception did not even get up from the dirty couch she was sitting on to watch TV and eat.

When we opened the door to the room (which we did with some difficulty - charming old-fashioned keys are kind of tricky) we experienced real culture shock. The room was tiny. I mean TINY, with a full bed, not a queen, for 2 people. And the bathroom made me feel like Superman changing in a phone booth.

But the place is quite nice in many ways. Excellent location, pleasant staff, reasonable prices ( it's Paris, after all) and that itsy-bitsy bathroom is modern and clean. Wi-fi in the rooms is touch- and- go; you can use the area off of the lobby if you insist on technology.

Nothing here is extravagant, but everything is serviceable.

The rooms are not nice, the strong noise from the street avoids all sleep (the windows are not isolated), the beds are small, the reception is unpolite and not helpful.

The only internet access is accessible from reception, with no table or anything.
Very uncomfortable for laptop, no Internet in the rooms.

The lift is really small even for 1 person.

But it´s expensive nevertheless.

This is possibly one of the worst hotels I´ve stayed, and I travel for business very often.

If you are planning to stay in this Hotel, please think again.

We stayed two nights at this hotel - the rooms we were allocated were tiny (although peeking through the door of a room that was being cleaned there did appear to be bigger avilable). The bathrooms were small and you couldn't open the bathroom door if the shower cubicle door was open - as my parents found out to their cost - when they rang reception for help the night porter charmingly told my nearly 70 yr old father to b***er off and then proceeded to argue with him over whose responsibilty it was to fix the door! On the other hand the cleaning lady/waitress was charming as was the first night porter which is why they have scored a two on service. My room stank of tobacco despite being non-smoking and the noise from the street was unbearable at times - the only way i slept on the second night was because I was so exhausted from my first night of no sleep. The only good thing was the location as handy for the Louve and Champs Elysee.
