The staff were helpful, they provided directions and recommendations. The location is amazing. It is very near the Luxembourg gardens and metro! Breakfast had a decent selection of fruits, yoghurts, breads, and pastries, it was great quality.

The room I was in was quite small. It was difficult to maneuver two suitcases. The interior of the hotel is dated. Nothing feels high quality. The television reception was very poor.

the breakfast offered acceptable choices for a quick meal.

The room was smaller than expected, made movement difficult with luggage. the hairdryer was unreliable and stopped working frequently. This significantly increased the time it took to dry my hair. the staff seemed unhelpful when i requested assistance with finding local dining options after a late arrival.

The location was ideal. It was a short walk to the Luxembourg metro station. I appreciated that the hotel was located in a safe area. Many restaurants are nearby and easy to access. Staff members were very friendly and gave useful information about the city.

The breakfast selection could be improved. I found the variety somewhat limited. There were times when items were not available or running low.

The room size proved inadequate. Maneuvering my luggage was a challenge. the interior design felt antiquated. breakfast lacked variety. i requested a slight delay in checkout and was informed of an additional charge, which seemed excessive.
