Bella struttura in posizione strategica per arrivare al centro di Parigi con la M1 (bisogna però fare un percorso con scale). Camera piccola per 4 ma con tutto l' essenziale e vista sulla Tour. Ottima ed abbondante la colazione continentale con anche crepes fatte al momento.

A hotel very close to the metro to gain access to all of Paris but without staying in the middle of the city.
Shame evening restaurant is no longer using the breakfast room to allow the current room to return to being a bar/bar snacks room for sitting and chatting. The lobby area is impersonal.

Extremely tiny rooms, rude staff especially the restaurant staff. As such nothing is there in the restaurant but on top of that the staff is mostly unfriendly unavailable snd rude. The frontdesk is unwelcoming too and makes you suffer for anything & everything!

Good stay
Generally good but would have been nice to have bottled water, iron and ironing board in the room rather than having to ask for one.

Exclente precio y ubicacion para movernos en metro
Bra utsikt och OK rum. Fick återkommande be om barnsäng som vi var lovade, första var trasig sen dröjde det hela kvällen och besked om att ingen fanns - plötsligt fanns det… genomgående lite svagt

Ci serviva uno stop per una notte per un evento alla Dèfense Arena e questa soluzione va bene. La camera da 4 (2 adulti e 2 bambini) è davero piccolissima come quasi in tutti i Novotel. Per una notte può andare ma più a lungo diventa claustrofobica.
Il personale è gentile. Ci ha stupito la colazione, molto fornita.
Non lo sceglierei per visitare la città perchè è scomodo muoversi sempre con i mezzi.

Great views from the room looking at the river and the Eiffel tower. That was the highlight for us. Commute to central Paris on ligne 1 was straightforward and convenient.
