The property was conveniently located. The staff can speak English. The hotel was near several restaurants. The food options were hamburgers, kabobs, onion soup, salads, pastries, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and within feet of the hotel is a grocery store for people on a budget. Nearby is a pharmacy which requires some French. The hotel is near the metro or perfect for safe canal walking exploration. I found the best restaurants and souvenirs walking. You will need comfortable walking shoes in Paris. My check-in was easy. I showed my passport and Expedia confirmation email took 2 minutes. My room had breakfast included. Breakfast was fruit, hard boiled egg, cereal, various cheeses, pastries, toast, crepe/pancake ....syrup/ Nutella available. There is hot tea, juice, milk, water, coffee, and my favorite hot chocolate. The bathroom shower had good pressure and excellent temperature to adjust for preference. The rooms are quiet at night and the black out drapes make sleep heavenly. My bed was so comfortable I would return for a mid- day rest before walking some more. My only complaint was room cleaning service...not all the trash was taken, tea bags were not refilled, hand soap and toilet paper ran out, and the toilet was not cleaned. The staff didn't come clean twice when I requested. Sadly, I cleaned or rfilled my room. Self-service. Overall, it is a safe and wonderful hotel for a solo female traveler. I plan on returning because the rest of the staff was wonderful!
