The hotel is quite close to the Orden metro station, but you have to walk up a narrow, uphill sidewalk to get there. However, there are several metro and bus stations nearby, making it very convenient for getting around. The neighborhood feels very safe, with university student dorms right across the street. The staff, usually students, are helpful with directions. There are several affordable supermarkets like Carrefour Express and Franprix close by, as well as many bakeries and small restaurants. You can also walk to Notre Dame on Île de la Cité in under 15 minutes, and the Luxembourg Gardens are right behind the hotel.
The hotel's decor has a charming, old-world feel, clearly showing the building's age. There's a very small, but surprisingly fast, elevator. In the afternoon, complimentary tea and coffee are available in the lobby during tea time.
Upon check-in, guests receive cookies, caramel peanuts, soft drinks, and a bottle of drinking water (only on the first day). Teacups and wine glasses are provided, but oddly, no teaspoons (?). You'll need to ask the front desk for those. The reception staff are very friendly and quick to assist.
The room's aisle isn't very wide; you'll need to adjust the chair to open two suitcases simultaneously. However, there's a good-sized walk-in closet and a very spacious bathroom. There's also a balcony with a view of about two-thirds of the Eiffel Tower (as pictured).
The bed is large and comfortable, and the room is clean and hygienic with excellent air conditioning and heating. The bathroom is also very clean, stocked with Nuxe honey-scented shampoo/shower gel combo, hand soap, and body lotion (they smell wonderful!).
