The Hotel Invictus (AKA Re), is in an older building just off the XX Septembre, with a goodly crop of bars and bistros and cafés around corners. Quick few steps to the bus stop, a bit more to the metro, but as we discovered, the 492 bus will get you about and around rather well if you're staying with the usual hangouts. The hotel itself is small, but recently updated, and all was more than clean and comfortable. The included breakfast is only croissants and coffee, but our group of four had no complaints, although the breakfast room itself was very small for the task. An ancient elevator does the job of getting you up and down, limit two persons at a time. The staff was extremely helpful with all our questions, and their recommendations were more than okay. The neighborhood is busy, but it all calms down at night.
