Excellent Location and Friendly Staff

advantageous locationfriendly staffhearty breakfastluggage inconvenience
I stayed in March of this year and found the location to be a big advantage. I could easily walk to Jardin du Luxembourg and Cathédrale Notre-Dame. Several metro rail lines are also nearby, quite useful for getting around. The staff was very flexible and accommodating. The breakfast was hearty, with options including French and continental selections.
There was no one to help with my luggage on that last stretch. It was inconvenient to carry my suitcase up a flight of stairs.

The staff proved friendly and were always willing to assist when asked. I found this acceptable.
The in-room wifi was practically non-existent. I was told to use the lobby's connection, a significant inconvenience as i needed to work from my room. this should have been disclosed before i booked.

The staff were all helpful and friendly. They answered every question. Breakfast had a GREAT variety of options, and the value was worth it.
