Perfect is an understatement! Fast Wi-Fi, great location close to the metro, and the room was unique and perfect. The front desk staff handled my late-night check-in smoothly, and the quiet hallways were wonderful for getting rest before exploring Paris.

Very nice room, Bit surprised no HVAC, but temperature was easily kept comfortable with open window. Service to room was excellent. Very helpful (and plentiful) lobby staff to field questions. On a very busy day, one host accommodated us with an alternate dining room for breakfast. Hotel conveniently in reach of the major sites in London.

We had a great stay in this hotel. Rooms were clean and there was everything there that we required. We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on that. Location was good, we got busses most places from bus stops outside the hotel in either way. I would stay here again as we had a pleasant stay.
