I chose this hotel based on its glowing reviews, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. While there were a few positives, the negatives outweighed them, leaving me disappointed.
The Positives
The highlight of our stay was the check-in process, which was impressively fast and efficient. This allowed us to quickly get into Paris, visit Notre Dame, and enjoy dinner—a definite perk for travelers on a tight schedule. Additionally, the room offered plenty of outlets for our electronics, reliable hot water (something seasoned travelers know not to take for granted), and a reasonable cost.
Where It Missed the Mark
The issues, however, were numerous. The bed was overly worn and uncomfortable, the pillows were as hard as rocks, and the bathroom was poorly designed. The shower was particularly frustrating—it was nearly impossible to use without flooding the entire bathroom floor. The overall decor was minimalistic to the point of being cold and uninviting, reminiscent of a “Spartan” aesthetic.
