Good base for exploring Paris...
Guests generally love the hotel's location, noting it is a little off the traditional tourist track yet all the sights are easily accessed via the Metro, and there's a station just outside the hotel entrance. There is also a Carrefour supermarket downstairs, plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, and a big shopping mall nearby as well. Many enjoy walking to Chinatown, and a few fit travellers walk to Notre Dame or the Luxembourg Gardens.
positive:
Inviting, practical rooms....

DIY Housekeeping...
Though it is well advertised on the Citadines website, several guests have been disappointed to discover that housekeeping services are provided on a weekly basis, and that daily services are available for an additional fee.
negative:
Too little variety...
Several guests have felt let down by the breakfast buffet, describing the selection as "boring" or "limited." Some also wish for a greater number of satellite channels, especially in English.
negative:
Technical difficulties...
A few guests have had trouble accessing the Wi-Fi or else found it too slow and unreliable for Skype, Netflix, etc. Some have also reported poor ventilation in the bathrooms or a "strange smell" in the hallways.
