Room 505 was perfect for my solo trip, spacious for Paris and with a desk. The window opened wide onto an almost unobstructed view of Notre Dame Cathedral. Even when I wanted some introvert time in my room, I could open the window and still feel like I was in Paris, not some generic hotel. Every now and then, accordion music floated up from the passage patio below, not too loudly, and it felt absolutely iconic. The staff were super helpful, and this beat many four-star hotels I've stayed in. I have zero complaints. A couple of tips: there's a luggage scale at the front desk you can borrow after filling your suitcase with souvenirs. Bring an extension cord, since the plugs aren't in very convenient spots. And skip the hotel breakfast, there are a dozen great alternatives within half a block.
