This place is exactly as advertised. It’s Paris and located by the Sorbonne so as the name suggests it has this hipster intellectual flavor to the decor. I didn’t mind. Most people would probably like it. Everyone was very friendly even though I speak minimal French. Great location for visiting downtown Paris. Also you can take the RER B train to and from CDG airport and then it’s just a 5 minute walk.

Last-minute save!

My wife and I found French Theory when we needed a place to stay for one night. We will definitely be back -- what a great place! Fantastic staff, comfy rooms, and a great cafe (and cool gifts)! We went back for a last coffee just before I flew out. If you need a place near the Sorbonne or the Luxembourg Gardens this one is wonderful.

Very nice 3 str hotel option with a great location. The coffee down below is a great option to start the day. We stayed at 4 beds room (2 double decs) with family, it was lovely. The only downside was the toilet bowl and the sink is way close. The sink is partially right up the bowl so you basically have to squeeze yourself in when you “mind” your business. Rather then that all was well, definitely will be back.

It’s serviceable for a short stay. Rooms are tiny and although recently decorated, not very comfortable. Walls are very thin and you will hear your neighbors so bring noise canceling headphones. The restaurant/breakfast is not included and not very good. Walk a few block to find something better.

I’ve stayed at French Theory a few times. It’s my go-to place for Paris. It’s walking distance to the metro and walking distance from most attractions. The hotel is quiet, well kept. There is a coffee shop on premise for breakfast and snacks. The facilities are clean and well maintained.
