I absolutely LOVED this property! We stayed in the duplex and it was incredible. The location is perfect as there are pubs all around and there is a parking garage about a 5 minute walk away which was very convenient since we had a rental car! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again!

What a little gem this hotel is. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were so happy to be in the heart of the Latin quarter. It was noisy as hell, but they gave us ear plugs so we slept very well!

The room was small, clean and functional. Staff very helpful and always available. But be aware that this is in the bar area of the tourist district. From 9pm till bar closing the noise can be very loud. Earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones should be considered a must have item.
