The property was quirky, which is interesting and thought has been put into it. The bathroom was very clean and the most spacious we have had in Paris (this is not a high bar sadly). The whole hotel is very very dark and eerily quiet (we were staying during the Olympics). Our room was so dark that we had to open the door (during daytime) to locate the light switch as we couldn’t see. The place has an unfortunate Hitchcock vibe - from the staff who don’t acknowledge you (made us wonder if they could see us) and the lift that you fear may have an unfortunate destination at the top. The downstairs area has potential but again was eerily quiet. The snacks in the room are extortionate which one would expect but entirely undesirable. The area is bustling at best; I would never choose it again and I would actively encourage any lone travellers, female travellers and families to avoid if at all possible. It felt unsafe as night fell and we rushed to get back to the dark dark room. It’s such a shame that the location is so poor as there isn’t much they can do about that. I definitely wouldn’t stay again I’m afraid and it’s such a shame that the staff can’t say hello as they are helpful once they looked away from his computer. It has Wes Anderson inspiration so if you are into that I think you may like it. It was clean - and that is a huge plus - the room and toilet were clean and looked after. Would be good for a flying visit next to station.
