The hotel rooms are charming and not as small as other places in Paris, though not designed to facilitate women's needs. The staff is extremely polite, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready to assist. The location is perfect for shopping, close to the Opera Garnier and the Galeries Lafayette. The dining experience is wonderful and filling, offering a continental buffet and a la carte options. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in room amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though on the small side, are spacious for Paris standards, high spec, and very clean, offering a comfortable experience. The service, from concierges to the front desk, was exceptional and reflective of the Spanish ownership's unique level of hospitality. However, the dining experience, while offering a variety of options, fell short in some aspects. The location is great for exploring Paris but left a feeling of resentment for certain guests.
