good stay near notre dame

perfect location helpful staff

i was very grateful for the perfect location next to the iconic cathedral. breakfast offered a good variety of options each morning and i found the staff very cute and helpful (especially when i needed directions).

The elevator was quite small. It was a tight squeeze with luggage. this made getting to my room a bit challenging, particularly after a long day of sightseeing.

small elevator stained linens

honestly, the elevator was AWFUL. it was so small, only one person and MAYBE a small bag could fit. then, the standard double room i got was not very clean. the floor looked like no one swept ANY dust, and i am PRETTY sure the linens had some stains.

mixed feelings about this stay

noisy air conditioning tiny elevator

my recent experience had some hiccups. the elevator was a joke. it could barely fit a person with a small bag. my room, a standard double room, faced an ugly courtyard with noisy air conditioning units. i expected better for the price.

The hotel breakfast included tasty croissants and a selection of cheeses. The location was convenient for accessing many attractions (I especially liked visiting Notre Dame). The staff was helpful and pleasant.

The carpet in the bedroom was quite worn.
