Really good Stay Near the Louvre!

really good staffspacious roomcomfortable bedcentral location
Sonia at the front desk was really good. She assisted me with a small health issue upon arrival. The staff here are genuinely fantastic! The location is great. It is within walking distance of the Louvre (a big plus) and the hop-on-hop-off bus stops. Our room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable.
I noticed that fresh water bottles were only provided upon check-in. I would have liked fresh water bottles each day.
