A hotel very close to the metro to gain access to all of Paris but without staying in the middle of the city. Shame evening restaurant is no longer using the breakfast room to allow the current room to return to being a bar/bar snacks room for sitting and chatting. The lobby area is impersonal.

Hotel was reasonable clean and in a nice area, but very dated. Rooms need renovation, looks like it hasn't been done since the 80s with wood chip wall paper. Definitely not a 4 star hotel.
