8/10 Very good

Kind and friendly stuff, good price for quality and location in Paris, very nice breakfast downstairs. The room could have been cleaner, but could come back
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Location, location, location! Close to metro and bus stops. Walking distance to Notre Dame, Louvre, Orsay, etc. Dozens of good restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooms are small - let’s be clear about this. Also the step up into the tub/shower is really high so maybe not a good choice for older or less mobile patrons, but the staff was delightful and the room was comfortable and ESPECIALLY quiet. We were very pleased.

Wonderful hotel by Luxembourg Gardens and the Pantheon. Fabulous restaurants walking distance away. Came during the heatwave and the AC at night was amazing to have. Fabulous shower pressure with plenty of hot water. Kind and helpful staff. Not a luxury hotel but super clean and everything needed for a great stay. Comfortable beds! Didn’t need more than a really great shower, air-conditioning and a great bed because we were out and about all day long and this place checked all the boxes.
