The hotel was pretty standard. The room was small but served our needs (however, the outlets for charging our devices were down by the floor and so it was hard to have your devices charging and also use the device; also you have to choose between the lamps or your device because the lamps plug into the same outlets). There was a sewage smell from time to time emanating from the bathroom; not sure if it was coming from the shower drain, sink drain, or toilet, so we ended up keeping the bathroom door closed most of the time. The hotel staff were lovely, and the hotel itself is well located (close to 2 metro stations, and a really great boulangerie a block and a half away...the one right across the street is okay but not as good as the Oria boulangerie). I loved how quiet it was, although the doors make a lot of noise when entering/exiting the rooms. There is a lot of delicious food within a 10 minute walk, and the jardin des plantes is a great place to sit and enjoy pastries or sandwiches during the day. It was nice having hotel staff at the desk 24 hours a day, meaning no finangling with card access to get in if you're coming home late. We did not eat the breakfast there (14 euros per person seemed exorbitant when we could just walk across the street and get pastries for 1,30) but people seemed to enjoy it. I would stay there again.
