We booked at the last minute and got a great deal. You know what they say about great deals! Well, we got one. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean. However, room was really small but fit our purpose! There is no elevator or lift as they say. Just 33 stairs up a spiral staircase, to the second level. They have four levels. We had a room facing the castle and also facing the road. We enjoyed having window open to hear traffic. If you don't like traffic noises, ask for a room in back. It was two blocks from the Yellow 1 line and that was nice. Hotel was 2 blocks from last stop, Chateau de Vincennes. We had a old castle right outside of our window. We will stay there again. Also, we booked on Hotels.com and got room ato one price and then we needed to extend our stay and we could not fond room on hotels.com. so, we booked thru bookings.com and at a higher rate. We talked to the staff and they adjusted price for us. Sweet!
