Overall, a very good value option for the Latin Quarter of Paris. The rooms are rather spartan...a twin bed, very small desk with a chair and a small bathroom. Concrete floor. So this is not the height of luxury. But it is a solid choice. Clean. Well kept. Even cute. Well located. Friendly staff. I would stay here again.

I really enjoyed my stay here and thought it was a great value for the location. The staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the dining options around and there’s easy transport connections. My only critiques are that a few nights, I heard loud music from my room that seemed to be coming from the ground level; nothing earplugs didn’t fix, but not ideal. I had breakfast one morning at their restaurant; the omelet was great but the croissant was not good. Overall, I recommend and plan to look here again when I return to Paris.

Hidden gem in Area heart of Paris, our bathroom layout was not accommodating, sink was almost on top of toilet. we chose the 2 bunk beds bedroom, great for a family of 4! One bunk bed was pretty unstable, needs adjusting- but mattress were comfortable! Room temp got too warm so we opened window to cool it! Staff was courteous and helpful- and coffee shop in the lobby was surprisingly good w a varied menu and the waitress goes above and beyond!

I stayed for two nights as a solo traveller. The location is excellent. Walking distance to Pantheon, Luxemberg gardends and Notre Dame Cathedral. 1 short walk to Metro stations and also close to Sain Germaine area. If you do not mind small rooms, this hotel is reasonably priced and well situated. I would definitely stay there again.
