The area is upscale, safe with loads of excellent restaurants, shops, a couple of large grocery stores and an indoor food market. It is walkable to many tourist sites like Notre-Dame, Saint Chapelle, The Louvre, Pantheon, Luxembourg Garden... The closest metro stop is Mabillon, a 2-minute walk from the hotel. We love everything about the hotel especially the staff who are professional, friendly and helpful. We added the buffet breakfast for EUR 12/person which was delicious and a great price. We highly recommend this hotel.
