The shining point on this hotel is the staff. Alicia, who is a marvelous front desk agent and very knowledgeable of the transportation system through the metro, is very helpful in all possible ways. Hotel is kept clean and the area is quite. Breakfast is superb! The drawback is that, despite claiming being close to the center, is in fact not taking traffic jams into consideration. This hotel is around 35 to 55 minutes away from the center (it could be more depending on traffic conditions) It has a very closeby shopping mall, the Velizy 2 Centre Comercial. I recommend if distance from center is not a determining factor.
