Awesome location and service!
great locationclean roomnice bedsoundproof window
The hotel location rocks it! It stands right in the city center close to Place Massena. The metro station nearby makes airport transfers easy. My room was super clean with nice beds and pillows. I enjoyed the insulated windows for soundproofing and they really worked.
I must say, one minor thing was not knowing beach towels were available until my last day there. I wish the front desk staff had been more proactive with that info.

the location was alright. it was fairly central.
my air conditioning didnt work good. the room was too hot at 28 degrees. i told staff about the issue, but they only offered a fan instead of fixing anything properly. they said there was a government regulation about the temperature, but that didn't seem true.
