    Jan From Germany On November 30, -0001

    Ruhiger Pariser Altbau mit Charme, kurzer Fußweg zur Notre Dame und den üblichen Tourisen-Gässchen in St. Germain. Einfache Zimmer, aber sehr sauber. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Ich bekam meinen Zimmerschlüssel nach jeder Rückkehr ins Hotel ausgehändig, ohne dass mich die Rezeption nach meinem Namen gefragt hätte. Das, obwohl ich den Rezeptionisten teilweise nicht bekannt war. In Kombination mit dem nicht vorhandenen Tresor auf dem Zimmer, kann man daher nur empfehlen, seine Wertsachen bei Verlassen des Hotels mitzunehmen.
