"As a first time tourist to France, this was an excellent location. Minutes to the Eiffel Tower and the Metro. We walked to the Arc de Triumph, easy ride to the Louvre and Le Marais and Notre-Dame Dame, and Versailles. The restaurant had an excellent breakfast, and having dinner once is alright, but we did room service for Bastille Day fireworks. The view from the balcony is a very good view of the fireworks despite that they put us in the second floor and I requested a higher floor months ahead. It’s truly more of a partial view rather than full, but I don’t think that you can better. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling for the first time. It is quite a busy hotel which is its biggest negative, and no pool or spa, but I didn’t even go to the 24/7 gym."
