 Hotel offers an express breakfast for 8 euros but confines this to one tea or coffee and two small pastries We had fresh fruit and orange juice as well classic continental style breakfast but were charged as if we had had full breakfast Made the value for money aspect far more questionable when overall the hotel offers great value Air conditioning was centrally controlled and on a very hot night not quite as effective as one could wish We did mention this to Reception but no change was made These two negatives did not outweigh the positives 
 Although the dark red tone of the room would not normally have been our choice we liked the modern style with its quite stylish mirrors and lighting The bed was large and comfortable The bathroom was very spacious with an excellent shower and about the largest washbasin we have encountered Also very good the free afternoon pastries tea and coffee greatly appreciated provision of tea and coffee making facilities in the room the honesty bar a pleasant courtyard location less than 20 minutes walk to the Louvre for example two very good quite traditional restaurants just around the corner from the hotel
