Excellent Latin Quarter Stay

fantastic locationworking refrigeratorshort walksmall room

The location was fantastic. I easily accessed the RER to the airport. Notre Dame was a short walk away. The front desk stored my key while I was out. The room had a working refrigerator. I kept water cold with no problem.

The room was very small. It was located on the ground floor facing the courtyard. I could hear conversations from the lobby and adjacent rooms. It was quite disappointing.

Dining

8/10

The breakfast included pastries and bread. These seemed to be of the frozen variety. I think there could have been more options available given the cost.
