Great location close to many restaurants, shops and a grocery store. Best part was that a cafe was attached, open most of the day for coffee to-go or dine in. French and yet a bit of a familiar U.S. quirky hotel feel.

The rooms are small, but contain everything you could need, including a safe, a fridge, and a full size bath. The location is excellent, just round the corner from the Pantheon, on the edge of the Latin District with all its bars and restaurants, and about 15 minutes walk to the Notre Dame.
