France

Front desk welcoming and helpful Very clean and modern Great shower and lots of hot water Lovely buffet breakfast. Great coffee. It included toast, eggs, fruit, cheeses, meats, pastries, cereal, yogurt and freshly squeezed orange juice. Lovely garden area to eat in. Grocery store about 1/2 block away that also sold wine. Beautiful linear park between the hotel and the metro and bus stations. Several cafes at the traffic circle by the metro station It is an easy walk to go the the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysees Two suggestions to make it even better 1. Provide more towel racks. A note asks us to re-use towels, yet doesn't give us any place to hang them to dry. They are quite thick and do not dry quickly. 2. Figure out some way to separate smokers and non-smokers at breakfast.

With a very decent grocery store in the same complex as the hotel, the Citadines Place d'Italie is a great place to do Paris on a budget.

Very accommodating staff. Nice breakfast. Left very early twice on excursions and front desk put together package of cheese and croissants for us. Conveniently located next to metro station and within 5 to 10 minute walk to two major rail stations.
