We're SO glad we booked this hotel! Upon arrival, the reception staff were delightful, SO friendly and accommodating - even providing us with a recommendation for the first place we went to eat. We were a few hours earlier than the specified check-in time (2 pm), but we were able to leave our luggage and freshen up in the lovely bathroom. We were even provided with a cleansing wipe, which was very refreshing considering the heat. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was spacious and clean - ideal for a weekend stay. We even had a Juliet balcony, which was a particularly nice feature. Equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine and kettle, you had a choice of coffee or tea, which was lovely. We also had pillow spray, body wash, foot cream, and hand cream samples - all very high-end products. When we arrived in the room, soft jazz was playing on the TV and the aircon was delightful. It was a welcome environment after walking the streets of Paris in the midday sun. Every time we left or entered the hotel, we were met with friendly and welcoming staff, who were really wonderful. Although we didn't have breakfast, I'm sure it would have been just as lovely as the rest of our stay. The area was very central and felt safe, although a street or so down, it did feel a little sketchier. However, this didn't affect our stay. We arrived at the hotel by RER train from the airport to the Gare de Nord metro station. It's then just a short walk to the hotel, or short metro ride.
