I just left this hotel yesterday on a tour with 47 other travelers. When I first saw this hotel on our list for this trip, I was very excited because it looked like what a "Paris" hotel should be. Then I read the reviews and at first I was worried. Then I paid more attention to what the bad reviews were saying: too small - yes European hotel rooms are smaller than we are used to in America, too old - I personally like the older places because of the extra charm, and out of date - I will say some things could use an update (that is why I gave it a 4), but most of it just added to the charm of the place. The location is good, walking distance to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs de Elysees. It is also at the end of a cul-de-sac, so it is quiet. The breakfast was also really good, bacon and eggs in Paris, what a treat. I would definitely stay here again.
