Handy location close to metro stations
This hotel's location in the Le Kremlin-Bicêtre neighbourhood south of Paris city centre proved convenient as it was easily reached by car and a short walk from two metro stations, enabling straightforward access to the heart of the city and its endless attractions. Another plus was that there were eateries, bars and a shopping mall in the vicinity. The availability of paid parking was a bonus for motorists, who also liked the proximity of main roads like the A4, A68 and Boulevard Périphérique. There was also uncomplicated access to Orly Airport.
