Acceptable location, several issues

easy locationworn carpetstreet noise

The location was acceptable. It was easy to reach key attractions.

The room was not well-kept. The carpet seemed worn and stained in several places. The noise from the street was significant even with the windows closed. It made sleeping difficult.

The staff were helpful. Laurent provided excellent recommendations! He even gave me a written list of nearby halal restaurants. The room had a lovely view of the Sorbonne square fountain. I appreciated the upgrade to a room facing the plaza. The view was beautiful!
