Hotel des Carmes

The croissants at breakfast were wonderful. The location was great. It was convenient to so many restaurants and the metro system to take you to other areas easily. It was within easy walking distance to Notre Dame and other less known attractions in the area. I always felt safe when walking the streets. There is a bazaar there on certain days that was less than a block away. The front desk people were nice and accommodating but didn't speak English well so there were some things that were miscommunicated.

The place could use some updating in there décor. The beds were not comfortable and there was a constant odor in our bathroom. We had a street room so it was noisy all night long to leave the windows open, but the room was hot and stuffy so we needed to leave them open. It was suppose to be a non-smoking room but someone moved in to the room next to us the last 2 days we were there and they obviously were smoking in the room. It was strong in the hallway and in our room. There are no safes in the room and you have to turn your key into the front desk when you leave.
