Quick Take: You are paying a premium for the view; if you book a garden room, you're just overpaying for a corporate hotel.
Reviewed by @eyesofemjay: I stayed in a balcony room here and honestly, the view is even better than the videos. Waking up to the Eiffel Tower right outside my window was a total dream. It’s pricey, but for that specific view, it was 100% worth it for me.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
The hype
The view is worth every penny, but the rooms feel a bit tight and corporate for the price tag.
Reality check
Housekeeping can be inconsistent with restocking basics like soap and toilet paper.

Room Genie
Best picks
Deluxe Room with Balcony & Eiffel Tower View (non-negotiable for the full experience)
Room 618 (specifically noted for perfect Trocadéro/Tower sightlines)
Rooms to avoid
Classic Room Garden View (darker, no view, feels like a generic airport hotel)
Low-floor rooms facing the street (noise issues)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a high-floor Deluxe Room with a direct Eiffel Tower view, preferably near room 618 if available. A balcony is our top priority.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the view really worth the extra cost?
Yes. The price difference is significant, but without the view, this is just a standard business hotel.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No, but it has a 24-hour fitness center with cardio machines.
How much is breakfast?
Approx. €35 per person. It's a good buffet, but you can find better pastries for €5 at a nearby boulangerie.
Is it close to the metro?
Yes, Bir-Hakeim (Line 6) is about a 5-minute walk, connecting you to the Arc de Triomphe.
Can I see the fireworks from my room?
If you book a Tower-view room on Bastille Day (July 14), you have the best seat in the city.
Is there AC?
Yes, but controls can be limited during the winter/shoulder season.
