The staff were lovely and friendly, really nice building and area, in the thick of Pigalle without being super touristy. Had a great atmosphere. The cold water carafes were a nice touch. The rooms were small as some other reviews said but for a base for exploring, it couldnt be better.

Charming hotel, a little vintage but clean and comfortable! Perfect for ducking into after a day in Paris. The double room was intimate so definitely best for couples or close friends. The area has sooo much good food and wine around it, it’s perfectly located a few streets a ways from really touristy things (like moulin rouge and a few more from montmartre) so it felt like a much better mix of tourists and locals. Super close to a metro line too so easy to get to gare du nord and CDG airport! Loved it

Breakfast was lovely and lots of really nice restaurants within walking distance. Tube station only a couple of minutes walk away so really easy to get to CDG Airport without taxi. Similar to all Paris hotels, the room was small but clean and nicely decorated and coffee, water and snacks were available for free all day. The down side of being in a busy area with nice pubs and eateries was the noise at night with chattering and traffic noise heard into the early hours but it didn’t stop me sleeping.
