A relatively new build, well located with the Seine in front (but separated by busy road); old town behind. U/G parking very limited - call 10 mins before to see if a space avail. Parking 13 euro/day.. And a very squeezy route in - small cars, fold your mirrors in!!

I thought the room lacked some furniture when I walked in, not realising it was a triple room.

Lethal walk-in shower with totally smooth plastic base. I put one of their hand towels down in it, for grip.

I was there 3 nights and got some laundry done, to get folded shirts ready for trip home. Prices pretty good I thought - until I noticed 14 euros for 'transport' !

Brekkie at a patisserie round the corner - pretty good views
