Located in a desirable area of the wealthy Passy district of Paris, the hotel is a comfortable and safe option for those that would rather spend their $$$ on shopping, experiences, and food versus hotel amenities and a giant hotel room that is limited to just sleeping & showering. The hotel is located on a pedestrian-only street (bonus) and right next to a couple of grocery stores, wine store, cheese store, 2 bakeries, 2 restaurants, a McDonald's and a block from a ton of nicer clothing stores. Room-wise, I got a clean, effecient modern room with an updated bathroom, albeit WAY too small from the placemnent of the toilet relative to the shower. Essentially, you sit in a diagonal manner since the wall is 4" away from the edge of the toilet bowl. And the shower is a step up above and adjacent to the toilet. Thus, very tricky if you're a taller or average height person. However, that said, water pressure was fine and there was never any issue for hot water when showering. I don't think all rooms are like this so do inquire in advance if you this small bathroom (approx. 8' x 2.5) is too small for your needs. Noise is minimal, aside from the 6 am noise from the garbage trucks and shop keepers getting their stores ready - but that is normal for Paris. I'd stay at this hotel again, especially given the location and price (under $100/night). If you're higher maintenance and want more amenities, then maybe look elsewhere. But this is a good choice in a very expensive city.
