Front Desk The front desk experience depended on the receptionist. That's why I can't rate 5 points. I was checked in by a front desk agent who was very polite on my first day, but was rude by the time I asked to have my workplace name added in my invoice the day I checked out. I had to modify that detail myself on my computer. He wasn't very accomodating. There was another one whose name was Baptiste. He was the coolest one of them all. I noticed his English was perfect when talking to people who didn't speak French. He was very curious about my country, and he was very talkative. He even offered to solve another problem I had whith my invoice. The night receptionist was very kind he offered me to use the computer after I got mugged and had my phone stolen on the Metro. As the hotel doesn't have a wake-up call system, he always knocked on my door as requested. Safety They always make sure you leave the key at the front desk. It's not for no reason. Paris has a very serious security issue concerning pickpockets. As I mentioned before, my phone was stolen. There is a safety box in the room in order to put your values if you don't take a taxi. If you take the Metro, leave your passport, cell phone and credit cards in the safety box. Just take cash and the Metro ticket with you. Location It's my favourite area to stay in Paris for business. The Metro station and taxi stand is almost at the entrance. There is no way to get lost. Even if you forgot the adress, you can tell the taxi driver it's across the street from Moulin Rouge. Room As I mentioned before there is no wake-up call system. You need to set the alarm on your phone or ask the night receptionist to knock on your door. There is a fan available for warm evenings. Taking both things into account the rate is low in Parisian standards. Besides that, the room was immaculate and it had everything I needed. It was small and it's bathroom was tiny, but it's Paris, where it's hard to find anything for 200 Euros. Breakfast The breakfast was excellent. The staff always made sure they had fresh bread and pastries from a bakery nearby. Nothing to complain. Invoice As I booked before I had mi plane ticket, I wasn't sure I was going to have breakfast on my last day, that's why I didn't include breakfast in my reservation. I paid it separately, but they don't really issue separate invoices for it. They included it in my room balance, but it was messed up as they stated I had breakfast on a date I didn't have, and that I didn't have breakfast on a day I had it. Baptiste offered to solve it but the invoice system or whoever operated it seemed not to be flexible on that. I was lucky my workplace accepted that erroneous invoice balance. Conclusion The hotel was good value. That's the most important thing considering how expensive Paris is. There are much nicer hotels but not easily for 200-250 Euros. There was the Rugby World Chanpionship and many colleagues had a harder time getting a hotel. The
