"Excellent staff, very helpful in many ways. Location was great, steps to the metro and restaurants. The Moulin Rouge and Montmartre are just a block away. And to have a view of the Eiffel Tower from our room was both unexpected and amazing! I would gladly return anytime."
"Our stay here was excellent and would stay here again. There are alot of sex shops up on the main road which surprised me as to how many there were! But it was totally safe. There are so many people walking around . Me and my 16year old never felt unsafe. And they all speak pretty good English in the hotel which was super helpful. Make sure though to say Bonjour when you walk in! And its super clean and cute!"
