My wife and I could not say enough good things about this hotel (in fact, my wife said it was her favorite hotel she’s ever stayed at). The location is excellent (tucked on a quiet street near a bustling and fun area of Saint-Germain). The rooms were clean and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. And the hotel felt surprisingly luxurious when we walked in - much nicer than the pictures online made it seem. We pre-ordered breakfasts through the hotel and were happy with the choice - a pretty typical breakfast spread for European hotels. We are also happy that we booked the romance package which included champagne and a ride on a Seine water taxi. They give you two tickets to the boat when you check in and you can just go anytime you want during your trip - easy and convenient for a fun activity. There were a few areas for improvement, mainly with wear and tear on an old building (the shower head and sink drain both didn’t work perfectly), but these are pretty standard in European hotels, and the positives of the hotel far outweighed these negatives. Overall; this hotel offered everything we wanted and a few surprises. We will definitely be staying again.
