We liked the location of the hotel. Not far from the metro center, 20 (at least) minutes from the Opera. The hotel is small, the rooms are small, there is everything you need except a refrigerator. Minimal food (tea, coffee, milk, cereal, croissants and buns. Sometimes canned fruit. If you order a buffet, it will be a piece of raw ham and yogurt. They are cleaned well. Towels are changed often. Administrators at the reception are ready to help. One minus - ruined the whole vacation and the impression of Paris is theft from the safe, which is located in the room near the reception. This safe is a simple bedside table without keys, where any of the staff can enter there and take money. They steal any currency, including rubles, always before leaving guest (probably so that the person could not file a complaint with the police, because it’s time to leave and there is no time for disassembly). Moreover, when the representative of the tour operator called the hotel, they said that they don’t allow money to be put in the safe at all. They saw a thousand times that we took and put money there. When they said that we would go to the police, they threw the money (they played the situation, as if they themselves curled up into a tube and fell out of an envelope sealed with tape on the floor). Although before that we examined everything, the administrator insisted that I take a closer look. I didn’t like the fact that when I returned to the room one day, they saw it open for a warmer and a towel pinned down at the bottom, although the room had appliances and bought things. The maid returned to the room 15 minutes after our return. Take what you want. Decide for yourself whether you need problems, but do not store anything in the safe. It’s safer with you, despite the warnings to be more careful in the crowd of tourists).
