Le Cantal - Good metro links & restaurants
We stayed at Le Cantal for around 4-5nights and I knew beforehand what the room was going to be like - after reading reviews left by others. The main issue with our room was the sloped ceiling - but honestly we got used to it after a while. The hotel was good for a few nights stay. They did offer breakfast each day in their restaurant but instead we chose to eat out most days. We did drink tea a few times there and the price was good. Nearby is an excellent cafe and patisserie if you want to buy your own croissants. The hotel owner was lovely and sometimes after we came back from our sightseeing, we had tea and chatted to him.
Going back to the room - the bathroom was nice and room cleaning was every day around 11am. They provided us with towels, shower gel, soap and shampoo but no toothbrush or toothpaste so remember to bring your own - or like us, walk around until you find a shop that sells it. The room had a tv and on the first night we flicked through the channels and watched The Simpsons in french.
I picked this hotel for its location to the Nation metro which has good links - especially the RER A line which takes you to Disneyland. I don't think that all the rooms had sloped ceilings - only the ones on the 2nd floor - so if you feel this might be an issue then go for the 1st floor rooms. One thing to note is that at night it can get a bit noisy.
Overall, the place was clean, the owner was lovely and I would book here again.
