I was very happy with my recent stay at this hotel. I chose it because it was in walking distance (for me) to many of the things I wanted to see - the Louvre, the Orsay, the Palais Garnier, etc. It was literally across the street from the Opera Comique. Staff was very helpful and courteous, the bed was very comfortable, etc. I probably had one of the smallest rooms in the hotel, but that was OK as I mostly use the hotel as a place to sleep. A little quirky too in terms of layout, but that isn't surprising for a hotel originally built in the 1820s. Great, GREAT shower. I do wish the room had a lounge chair, but it was really too small for that plus the beds, desk, armoires (one for clothes, one for safe, mini bar, etc.). I would happily stay here again. BTW, you can get bigger rooms for more money if you want at the same hotel. But again, I didn't go to Paris to stay in the hotel!
