Charming Parisian Stay

excellent locationlarger roomhelpful staffcomplete stay
The staff provided assistance through the WhatsApp app, offering various services. I found my room slightly larger than typical Parisian hotel rooms. The location was superb, with easy access to many attractions. They ensured my stay felt complete and cared for.
The breakfast croissants tasted a bit dry and seemed like standard frozen goods. I would have preferred a fresher, more homemade option to start my day
