I recently stayed 3 nights in this charming small hotel in the 7th Arrondisement, home of the Tour Eiffel, Hôtel des Invalides and the Champ de Mars . I thoroughly recommend you stay here. I chose a duplex, single room which while compact worked well over two floors with a spiral staircase which connects the lower room, with its single bed to the upper area with a WC and shower, and a small seating area with a desk. I would not recommend this room for anyone with mobility problems as the spiral staircase has a tight climb / descent. The shower facilities were excellent. Do ask for the “plateau de courtoisie” ( courtesy tray ) giving you Nespresso coffee, tea bags etc. The small dining area is freshly decorated, comfortable and the breakfast fare was plentiful, varied and tasty including fresh yogurt and fruit jars, fresh pancakes, abundant French pastries, cold meats and cheeses and various breads. An automatic coffee making machine turns out the expected coffee options quickly. I used the small salon seated area to sit and relax in, when reading and found the seating very comfortable. The hotel staff were helpful and polite. While I would not want this to detract from my overall highly positive experience I was surprised to find being expected to pay my full anticipated bill when I checked in rather than on checking out! A completely unexpected bonus entailed my room in the 5th floor overlooking the attractive garden of Hotel Matignon, the official Residence of the French Prime Minister.
