on April 25, 2007I made a reservation for a double room and kept checking with the hotel over 6 months time to see if I could have one of the top floor rooms. Hotel kept coming back with negatives but said they'd do their best for me.
Upon check-in, I walked into a warm, lovely lobby with wood panels and a fireplace and decorated with poinsettias. Madame at reception gave me a triple room that was on the 5th floor (room #53) overlooking some rooftops. Very very quiet room. Had a small alcove with an extra bed hence the triple room. Bathroom was a good size with bidet. Shower stall is small and needs some refurbishing due to some mold in between the tiles but otherwise, was excellent.
Has a normal hairdryer
Breakfast is 10 euro (continental) but this is not the usual baguette & croissant/coffee or tea b'fast. The server, a very kind Indian woman, gives you extra and is very accomodating. The croissant is huge and so is the baguette. The coffee-oh my God-is so good. It's strong but not so strong to be absolutely bitter. And it's a huge pot with another huge pot of steamed milk. Plus you receive a nice glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice.
The best part is the hotel's location to Notre Dame-just 2 1/2 short blocks. How can you beat that?
Best thing is that I booked a regular double room at 158 euro but they assigned me a triple room (s/b 174 euro) but I paid the rate for a regular double room-what I reserved.
Please see above notes.
Other unique qualities:
The bells at Notre Dame could be heard from the room! Very atmospheric to me!
The hotel serves breakfast until noon! Great if you wake up late.
The rates are excellent for the location!
BOOK YOUR ROOM AT LEAST 6 MONTHS IN ADVANCE! THIS IS A VERY POPULAR HOTEL.
Note: Rates for 2006 will increase to 170 euro for a double room and 12 euro for the breakfast.
