0I had a several night stay in Paris with a special friend. We initially checked into a different hotel, and it was awful. So we spent an hour to find a nicer place. We found the Jardin de Cluny. We wanted to see in person, and although all the rooms were occupied, we were permitted to see two of the rooms. As luck would have it, a few guests were checking out the next day so we could be accomodated (and at a reasonable price) the following nights for the rest of our stay.
The room itself was a little "cosy," but the bathroom was spacious. The bed was a queen - not two twins pushed together. Air conditioning came included. In fact, the entire hotel was very modern and clean. Our room mini-bar broke, and was promptly replaced the next day while we were sightseeing.
The location was good, two very short blocks from the nearest Metro and a thriving restaurant district. Since the hotel is on a side street, the room was quiet at night. Notre Dame was only a ten minute walk, and there was a decent grocery on the corner for late snacks and a drink for the room.
The breakfast was pricey, so we passed and enjoyed pastries at a variety of cafes on the main drag a couple blocks away. however, the hotel did offer free wi-fi, which is very hard to come by in Paris.
Highly recommend a stay, be it for business or pleasure.
