The location proved convenient for visiting key sites. The breakfast buffet had a great selection. I appreciated the variety offered, especially the fresh fruit.
The room's minibar prices felt excessive, I thought. Our room lacked a kettle initially, but the staff supplied one after I asked. apply, twice.

Elegance and Warmth

comfortable bedluxurious bathroomslippery tub
The location provided easy access to the Louvre. Many charming cafés were nearby. The room was spacious and quiet, with a very comfortable bed. A luxurious bathroom with towel heaters was a rare find.
I found the elevated platform next to the living room area not useful. That space could be utilized more efficiently. The bathtub was high. It was hard to get in and out. The tub was slippery. This presented a safety issue.
