The negatives: the hotel lacks charm and is not in an exciting neighborhood. the positives: extremely clean, everything works, the best mattress I have ever slept on, large rooms esp for French hotels, close to the #1 metro which links with every other metro- great transportation, exceptional breakfast for a French hotel but nowhere near as good as a Dutch or German one, friendly staff who are helpful. The question would I go back to this hotel and the answer is YES
