The hotel's location is a bit tricky to find by car. Our taxi driver from CDG airport got lost when we were close, driving around in circles multiple times. I reckon about 20 euros of our 80-euro fare was spent just circling within 2 kilometers of the hotel. However, it's actually very convenient if you take Metro Line 1 – just get off at the second to last stop before La Défense and it's a 5-minute walk.
It's a direct train to the Louvre, and most other attractions only require one transfer, so the location is excellent. The surrounding area is a business district, which means it's safe and clean, and there are small restaurants and a supermarket nearby.
The kitchenette is well-equipped with pots and cutlery, though you'll need to buy your own seasonings. It has an induction cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher, and the fridge is quite large.
There's a self-service laundry room on the ground floor. To use it, you scan the QR code on the wall to download the app, which has a Chinese interface. It costs 5 euros per wash, and you need to bring your own detergent.
The two Black staff members at the front desk were quite perfunctory, but there was a very kind white elderly lady who spoke Chinese.
The coffee machine and water dispenser on the ground floor are great.
