The room was a good size, and staff are nice. Location is also excellent except there’s currently street construction going on right outside the hotel. This makes it inconvenient for being picked up by a taxi as you’ll need to walk to a side street. Once the construction is done, I think the hotel will be a popular spot. It’s close to everything and the rooms are clean and a good size for Paris.

This is a small hotel in the Latin Quarter. It is definitely a good place to stay for a short stay of 2-3 days in Paris. The rooms are clean, the staff are friendly, the water pressure in the shower is fantastic, and yes, the bathroom is tiny. This is not your place if you're looking for an American-size room and bath. However if you are here for a short stay, this place is great. It is near all the sites and well located to the metro. #beatravelernotatourist

Really nice hotel. The room is cute and modern. Very clean. Everyone working there was nice and helpful. The hotel is in a great location for seeing the city. Just a few minutes walk to Notre Dame Cathedral in one direction, and the Pantheon in another. I especially liked that it was so close to Luxembourg Gardens. Will gladly stay here again.

Stayed for 4 nights. Very nice hotel, modern with a quirkiness that is endearing. Has a coffee house that opened 24/7. Staffs are helpful and friendly, speak good English. Location is perfect. Minutes away from metro, straight to Gare du Nord or to CDG airport. Many attractions within walking distance: Norte Dame, Pantheon, Luxembourg Garden, Sombone university, Louvre, not to mention many eateries hidden amongst the Parisian buildings and alleys.

Hotel is on a very safe, quiet street; close to good cafe, restaurants, RER and metro stations. 10 min walk to Notre Dame de Paris and a 25 mins walk to the Louvre. The staff at the hotel were exceptional. They were all very pleasant, polite and helpful. Our room was small with no storage for clothing, very few hangers and one coat hook. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning system worked well. Bathroom was also small but clean and housekeeping passed everyday to replenish our towels and change bedsheets if requested. We had a very nice stay.
