metro station egg selection reception staff
The hotel is near several metro stations like Cluny La Sorbonne and St Michel. The breakfast had a good selection. A very pleasant lady cooked eggs upon request. All the reception staff I encountered were very friendly and efficient.
The croissants seemed to be of the type one can buy as frozen goods.
