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.

I stayed for two nights as a solo traveller. The location is excellent. Walking distance to Pantheon, Luxemberg gardends and Notre Dame Cathedral. 1 short walk to Metro stations and also close to Sain Germaine area. If you do not mind small rooms, this hotel is reasonably priced and well situated. I would definitely stay there again.
