6/10
I'm a youthful 58 year old with the body of a 25 year old so the sporadic stair situation was easily incorporated into my daily workout. However, those with bad knees should avoid this hotel. This is not my first rodeo in Paris so I understand the sacrifice of convenience for charm. But even my most able bodied, fit visitor complained about the hike to my room, even with the tiny elevator that only reached the 4th fl, and only broke down once, requiring a trek to the 6th floor. Other than that, and the archaic, inconvenient key situation, the staff was attentive, and the room was comfortable. Proximity to the Marais and Strasbourg St Denis Metro station was a plus.
