Excellent location to catch the Hop On bus to see the sites. Located very close to Arch. Very accommodating staff to answer questions and help with taxis pick up. Only downfall was the shower. We had water everywhere. Would definitely stay there again.

Just came back from a 4 night stay at this charming boutique hotel. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. The hotel was pretty and clean. We decided to get the breakfast buffet for an extra charge and it was worth the money, not huge but a great selection of fresh food, both hot and cold, delicious. It is near the Champ Elysee and you can walk to different areas, bistros etc. The metro station was just a couple of blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.
