Beautiful boutique hotel

It is very cozy boutique hotel in a quiet area of town, we love the quietness’s neighborhood and a close distance 3 minutes to the Metro station Victor Hugo station and easy to get a metro day pass for €6.4. Nice dinner at the restaurant the front desk staff are super helpful with directions and helping with luggages. The only downsize is the room is small.
