Right across from Luxembourg gardens
If you are looking for location, then this is it! Not only is it right across from Luxembourg Gardens, but other major attractions are just a short walk away such as the Paris Catacombs, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte Chapelle, and la Seine.
positive:
Nice value for price
Most guests found that even though the hotel does not offer too many perks, they found that the price for the city and location could not be beat. Also, if you find that you will need just a place to sleep, this hotel will do the job.
positive:
Quick access to the airport
Whether you have an early flight or you just don't want to haul your luggage all over the metro stations, this hotel offers a great location right next to a train that goes to Charles de Gaulle and Orly International airports. If you are lucky, you may even be able to catch an express train with limited stops.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are for sleeping
Some guests like to unwind in their rooms, however, most guests have stated that the rooms are for sleeping and not so much for lounging.
negative:
The rumbling of the metro
Although you will have the convenience of the metro right at your feet, you will also have it right under your ear. The metro begins at 5.30 in the morning and you may feel the rumbling of the trains under your room, no matter what floor you sleep on. If you are a light sleeper then this may bother you.
negative:
Sometimes the Wi-Fi does not connect
If you will be depending on a strong internet connection while on holiday then this hotel may not be for you. Previous guests have complained that the Wi-Fi was either very slow or non-existent at all.
