Great area and the hotel was really close to a metro station, so travelling to other destinations all over Paris was easy.
The neighbourhood retains a village feel about it, especially when you head off of the main road. Sadly France is now going down the same route as the UK with their shopping malls - all the same shops, but there were some delightful independent shops with impeccable service.
Sone lovely bars and restaurants, and I would definitely recommend Brasserie Zeyer, built in 1913, which has a beautiful ceiling, good quality food and excellent service.
The staff at the hotel were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is in a quiet street. The rooms are the worst thing!
We paid for a superior room but it was definitely not that. It was on the top floor and although it was reasonably spacious for a Parisien hotel room, the bathroom facilities were atrocious. The bath only had a hand held shower attachment - no taps. There was no shower curtain either, resulting in water going everywhere.The hand basin was a stand-alone contraption and the tap was like a shower one, except that it did not move and only delivered cold water.
We complained on our second day at the hotel and were told that we could change our room, which we did on the third day. The new room did at least have a proper shower and a functioning hand basin t
