The property is unique as it is right on the main street of the Latin Quarter. Restaurants and pubs are steps from the door. The hotel staff are amazing- kind and thoughtful, ready to help as needed 24/7. They treated our group as treasured family. We love this hotel.

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.

The shower was very poor. Very slow and never changed temperature really. However, the food in the restaurant was brilliant and the front desk service was great. Area of the hotel couldn't be better.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.
