Nice hotel - Bad position

This hotel was fine but l certainly class it a 5 star. It’s in district 5, a noisy toad selling exhaust pipes, car upholstery and smart phones. There are no restaurants and shops within walking distance. The spa is average, not at all a relaxing, cheap products and inexperienced staff. The pool is nice but be aware that swimming lessons take place most afternoons for locals.
