hotel lounge
by soundsgoodtome I was very impressed with the room and the service offered here considering the relative inexpensive price in such a great location. The staff here is very friendly and always there to help with anything, from recommending the closest good restaurants to serving coffee at all hours of the day and night in the lounge. The coffee was a highlight of the hotel actually, at 3 euros for about 2 cups, its much cheaper than any of the local cafes, and tastes excellent as well. The big breakfast here, however, was 10 euros, and definitely not worth it. You could get a few croissants and jelly for about half that, but you'd better go out for a really good breakfast.
The rooms are above average size compared to many European hotels and the bathroom is very spacious with two full sinks. The location cannot be any better. Just half a block from the Ecole Militaire metro station and 3 blocks from the Eiffel Tower. There are dozens of good restaurants of all types within a few blocks-the cheapest being the Vietimese/Chinese restaurants, which are actually very good. The beds were very comfortable, but they have these funny cylindar-shaped pillows that are too small for most people, so make sure you have normal pillows in the closet.
The round-the-clock coffee was always a plus, and the lounge area was unique and decorated with what I am guessing is 18th century furniture and artwork-not too fancy but still elegant and tasteful. Theme: HotelComparison: about average
