Charmed by central stay

central location comfortable room friendly staff local attractions
I found the location quite central, just steps from the latin quarter. The room was modern and comfortable, a good base for exploring. The breakfast was a simple, yet tasty way to start the day... the staff were friendly too. I especially liked the helpfulness regarding local attractions.
The street noise was noticeable sometimes, a slight disturbance in an otherwise peaceful stay.

wonderful experience!

clean toilet comfortable furniture charging point tasty coffee
the staff were very helpful! i had to come in for a coffee a few times for business meetings. they were always so accommodating. the toilets were clean, and the furniture was comfortable. i also noticed charging points and tasty coffee, a well-kept secret!
the breakfast setup was awkward. the food was ok. the breakfast is served in the reception with a poor selection of food. i would not have paid extra for breakfast if i knew this.
