Quiet neighborhood street near the Denfert-Rochereau station, which is convenient for getting to/from airport and also catching the metro. It will be a metro ride or Lime bike ride of about 20-30 min to get to the Left Bank/Notre Dame area. Wish they had take-away coffee cups!

The hotel was perfect and very close to subway and RER so it was easy for us to get to CDG airport. We loved the street near by with all the restaurants, food stores and shops. The room was very comfortable and my only complaint would be the pillows could use an upgrade as they are super stiff.

A hidden gem

The hotel was very nice. The people at the desk were very pleasant and helped us with directions and getting transportation. The room was very clean and the shower was excellent. It was very hot when we were there so we made good use of that. Checkout was seamless. We certainly would consider staying there again should we return to Paris.

Not worth it

I’m not sure how this hotel has 3 stars. 2 would be extremely generous. The rooms are in poor condition and very outdated. My room has a leaking AC unit and the bathroom shower flooded half of the room from normal use.

In a good area. We walked to all the tourist attractions. A Metro station is five minutes walk away. Staff friendly and breakfast was plentiful. My one caveat would be that if you had large suitcases the rooms are a little small. Interesting shower! Lovely towels and bed linens and the beds were very comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Recommend a stay here.

Great area and the hotel was really close to a metro station, so travelling to other destinations all over Paris was easy. The neighbourhood retains a village feel about it, especially when you head off of the main road. Sadly France is now going down the same route as the UK with their shopping malls - all the same shops, but there were some delightful independent shops with impeccable service. Sone lovely bars and restaurants, and I would definitely recommend Brasserie Zeyer, built in 1913, which has a beautiful ceiling, good quality food and excellent service. The staff at the hotel were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is in a quiet street. The rooms are the worst thing! We paid for a superior room but it was definitely not that. It was on the top floor and although it was reasonably spacious for a Parisien hotel room, the bathroom facilities were atrocious. The bath only had a hand held shower attachment - no taps. There was no shower curtain either, resulting in water going everywhere.The hand basin was a stand-alone contraption and the tap was like a shower one, except that it did not move and only delivered cold water. We complained on our second day at the hotel and were told that we could change our room, which we did on the third day. The new room did at least have a proper shower and a functioning hand basin t
