The location proved convenient, offering easy access to transportation.
The room size felt quite small, and I noticed some mildew in the bathroom, that was not nice. The lighting was also dim, I expect better light. I had hoped for a better experience .

Excellent Stay near Public Transport

I found the staff very kind and polite. Every request I made was immediately adhered to. The location is fabulous with great restaurants nearby and grocery stores right in front of the hotel. The metro and RER are 100 meters walking distance from the hotel. I really appreciated the coat hanger and cupboard as I traveled during the winter season.
The breakfast options were limited. The food was exactly the same every day .

The hotel features free coffee, snacks, and water downstairs and this was a real treat. The hotel offers a shared workspace which is a valuable amenity. I observed a mini market conveniently located across the street from the hotel too.

Several restaurants and takeaway joints are situated right outside the hotel. I noted the breakfast includes various options. I didn't experience it directly. There is a burger house close to the hotel, with a quick dining option with just a short walk of about 2-8 minutes.

The hotel enjoys a handy location for transport since it is close to the metro station. It is also a mere 2 stops from Notre Dame on the C line. I also observed that there is a Decathlon and H&M nearby for those wanting immediate shopping.

The location was quite convenient. It was near a metro station. free coffee and water were available on the ground floor. the lounge area had comfortable seats. That was a plus for waiting.
The water pressure in the shower was quite poor. i spoke with staff, and they mentioned the issue affected the whole building. the wifi connection wasn't stable. A specific setup was necessary. i had to resolve the connection issue myself, as the staff could not fix it.

The location provided quick access to both the City Center and Orly Airport. Metro 14 was just a short walk away, quite convenient. Complimentary coffee, tea, and fresh water were available at reception around the clock. I appreciated this kind gesture and the practical convenience it offered throughout my stay.
The room lacked soundproofing. Noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable.
