Descartes Monument Tours and Activities

The hotel is in a great location, just next to the Musee Rodin and Les Invalides, and just five minute walk from the National Assembly. We had a very warm and professional welcome by the gentleman at the check-in desk. We booked a suite and we received room #1, which is on the ground floor and was described as the "garden view suite" -- the reality is that the windows of the bedroom and the bathroom looked to the busy street where pedestrians and car drivers could easily see inside, so we had to have the blinds closed all the time. The only part with a "garden view" was the living room which had a window that opened to the inside courtyard, but hotel guests would walk past and could easily look inside once again... The suite is large and beautifully appointed with glorious gold wallpaper and older furniture. The living room has a couch that becomes a double bed and a writing desk that one can use to do work. There is also a mini-fridge, but it is only used for the mini-bar items. The hotel does not allow guests to use the fridge for their own waters or drinks -- very unfortunate. Plenty of closet space. The spacious bathroom had a jacuzzi tub (we did not use) and a separate shower. Great water pressure! The largest problem by far with the room was the overwhelming sense of mustiness.

Quiet gem great location in the 6th arrond

Wet quaint boutique style hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. I did not eat at the restaurant, because we would leave first thing in the morning and we would come back late at night. We truly only used it for sleeping and showering.
