i found the hotel's location very convenient near public transportation and the jardin du luxembourg. the staff was kind and helpful. my room was clean and quiet which i appreciated after a long day.
the room lacked a refrigerator which was somewhat inconvenient especially for longer stays. i would have appreciated having one to store drinks and snacks. it meant i had to go out more often for refreshments
