It's a nice little hotel, fairly quiet for the most part. Staff is helpful. The bathroom is very small is the single room and, for a large person, the shower is fairly tricky to slip into (the door is very narrow). The shower also has a tendency to flood the bathroom. Ideally, the doors to the rooms should either be fixed so that they're quieter or signs saying to hold the door so that they don't bang when closing should be installed.

would stay there again!
My stay at French Theory was fantastic. The single room was cozy and arranged in a way that it didn’t feel cramped or too small, just right. The location is quiet but still really central, and the staff were lovely and always making sure I had what I needed. I also really recommend having the included breakfast — it’s really filling and delicious!

NEW NAME: French Theory
NOW CALLED FRENCH THEORY. All Cujas Pantheon signage is gone. No idea why that's not noted online and on here. Excellent price and great location. Easy walk to Notre Dame area, including Big Bus stop near Notre Dame. Easy walk to Luxembourg RER station, which *should be* direct access to the airport (but was NOT in November 2019). TINY room but perfect for a one-person stay with no intention of hanging out in the hotel. Clean hotel, warm shower, comfortable bed. NO extra wiggle room but didn't need it just to lay my head down for a night!

'Compact' rooms, including bathrooms, but recently re-furbished, modern, well designed, very clean, and comfortable. Good cafés close by, and an excellent M&S mini-supermarket a couple of minutes away. Location couldn't be better for walking and public transport. I've stayed twice recently and young desk staff on both occasions were really friendly and helpful. Area has a 'student' vibe (Sorbonne and lycée next door), with a great little bookstore directly opposite. Having the Jardin du Luxembourg on the corner is great for impromptu strolls. Deserves more than 2-star. Recommended.
