The hotel was great, the room was really nice and well appointed, and it also had air conditioning, which was a bonus…the breakfast was good with a good variety. The location was fantastic, close to a lot of restaurants and shops, but far enough away that it was still a quiet area. One thing to note, there is a church across the street that rings their bells a lot in the mornings, we got used to it, but if you wanted to sleep in, it could be an issue… We would recommend this hotel!

This hotel was amazing. Had all the necessities. Blow dryer. Shampoo. Conditioner. They even had converters just asl the receptionist. There was a laundry mat down the st which was perfect since we were coming back from Italy. Around the corner there were also so many cafés. There was even a farmers market. All walking distance. And of Couse just a few blocks away from Notre-Dame Cathedral. Staff were so helpful.

Really nice location. Very central to the Latin quarter, the Parthenon, Mouffetard street and the island with Notre Dame. Room size is as ok as possible given Paris. AC was working so-so. Small elevator and good size stairs. The breakfast is alright, very nice service, but good could have been a bit better or varied. Many other options within 5-10 minute walk.

Lovely and helpful staff! Breakfast room was cute, but in the basement. Location was great and very central and convenient. There’s a pretty church right outside the hotel, however the bells go on every hour and half hour, so it’s definitely something to consider.

Great hotel in a wonderful part of town. A few steps from Pantheon, great eats, and local markets. Room was clean and cozy, and the showers don’t wet the floor! (Not very common during my euro travels) The staff was amazing and they comped an upgrade on our final night. Will definitely stay here again and recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A little more out of the way but excellent bus system. The breakfast spread everyday was very well done. Not sure how there was a disconnect between Expedia and the hotel but our street side balcony rooms booked for 9 nights turned out to be w a view of a poorly maintained interior courtyard, basically viewing a sky roof over the lobby w 1st floor rooms. Very disappointing. And the Expedia chat feature gets no replies from the property when asking for early check-in. That was my error a detail o overlooked but resulted in waiting 4 hours for room after a flight from North America. Back start to the 10 day time in Paris. We got on track and appreciated what the Hotel offered!
