Based on the ants in my room I wasn't interested in waking up early and paying extra to try breakfast. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard for them to fill in the gaps in the molding they get through, and these ants have been complained about in numerous reviews. I was foolish not to heed the warning. I'll give them bonus points for decent shower gel and a great location, unfortunately the proximity to Republique caused me to be assaulted by a Paris police officer when I went out for some groceries during a Gaza protest late in my stay. The ants though, the ANTS. I booked this over a two star hotel with better reviews because I trusted the third star, but nothing offered here elevating it beyond two stars except maybe the free nespresso pods which were a big plus. If your blanket touches the floor at any point while you're sleeping, expect to feel ants crawling on you and to have nightmares about them for the rest of your stay. Wifi was so slow that I had to use my data plan and mobile device only, making my laptop useless. Also weird to have to hand your keys back to reception every time you want to leave the building, felt like prison furlough every time I walked out. Staff was very friendly though, I can't blame them for what was clearly an ownership problem. They need an exterminator and new wireless routers. No AC or minibar/fridge (needed cuz ants). The tiny lift was actually kind of charming and not a negative at all for me, especially since it worked.
