Prenota se You want a quirky, high-value home base in the 9th with free snacks and a minibar that actually stays free.
Perché piace così tanto
- The 'Astotour' perk: stop at any of their 16 Paris hotels for free snacks and pee breaks
- Free in-room minibar stocked daily with water, juice, and sodas
- Surprisingly quiet courtyard rooms despite the buzzing Grands Boulevards location
In sintesi: A cheeky, patriotic 3-star that trades luxury polish for free Oreos and a unbeatable location.
Recensito da @Voyascape: I stayed at this spot and honestly, the value is unbeatable for Paris. The free minibar and the ability to grab free snacks at any sister hotel while sightseeing saved me so much money. Plus, waking up to that street view was pure magic.
