The room was tiny which is expected in central Paris. The floor was very dusty. The shelves on the inside of the wardrobe were dusty. The maids came to clean between 4-6pm so we had to send them away. The showers could set the smoke alarms off. We had a fire alarm at 8.50 Monday morning. There is a bar directly next door to the hotel that regularly has parties on Saturday nights with loud music till 6-6.30am.

You can do better than this place

This was an economical hotel choice only, no comforts. The room was not ready and I believe half-cleaned when we checked in around 5pm. Check-in starts at 2:30pm. There was a vacuum in the room, one bed instead of two twins, urine splashed up on the back of the toilet, one towel, no soap in the shower dispenser, and half a roll of toilet paper for a two day stay. There was a non-working AC unit and the street noise was active til past 2am with the windows open. The elevator can find only one person and a roller bag. I asked for a fan for the room and was told a technician was fixing the AC. That did not happen.

The area has numerous dining options and easy access to good public transport, all within a stone's throw from the property. The staff were professional and friendly, and the place was generally clean. The room was a big disappointment; it was the smallest hotel room we've ever stayed at, it was somewhat dated even though the promo narrative suggested it was updated, and the picture online was clearly staged to seem way more cozy than the reality when we got there. There is an elevator, but this could only accommodate two adults standing side by side, the absolute smallest we've ever seen or used. Our opinion, having stayed at many properties in the US and the Caribbean, is that this hotel was overpriced at just over $150.00 per night for our five (5) night stay.

First of all I am an experienced traveler who has been to 30 plus countries and books hotels and places constantly so this review is based to the competition out there .
Even though pictures deceive you about the space of the rooms , these hotel rooms are squeezed next to each other . For people who want to sleep late you can hear the cleaning ladies opening the doors of the other rooms which are literally inches from your door . Kinda disturbing.
The location is good , I found a dirty sock under the bed so I don’t know about the overall state of cleaning , rooms barely fit one person with 3 or more baggages , imagine if there were more people ….. Maybe I should have booked the bigger room instead, but that’s my experience . This hotel is just ok definitely overpriced

This is a cozy hotel in an absolutely great location on Rive Gauche. It was perfect for me and my son as we knew that hotel rooms in Paris are quite small. I would bring my own soap to the hotel if you are female as the one offered is very ‘male’ smelling. Also there were no shampoo or body lotions, but no big deal for us. We were very pleased and would recommend to others.

The hotel was conveniently located outside the main city centre, which was great (a lot quieter and more reasonably priced). The connections were great, with the metro just 5 minutes walk away.

The stay itself was pleasant and staff were pleasant. The hotel did not look like the photos, and was quite small and basic. The stay was pleasant nonetheless and the staff were very attentive and explained everything clearly. It made for a great weekend away! Would recommend for a cheap stay in Paris!

We've stayed here several times. The staff is great and the room spotless. The beds are comfortable, especially the pillows. The bathroom does the job but it is small and you need to be careful with the shower as there is only a partial wall and no curtain on the remainder. After you get used to that it is fine. The best part is the hotel location. Restaurants at the entrance, 150 feet from the metro and just a great, safe neighborhood.

The first night there was a fire alarm that went off in the early AM and did not shut off for about 10 minutes. Fire alarms are stationed in each shower so if you take a “steamy shower” it will trigger the alarm. There is a mini fridge but no hot water heater or access to fresh drinking water. We ended up purchasing bottles of water from a local store and storing them on the patio to keep chilled during our stay so we didn’t have to purchase everything in the mini fridge. The elevator is one person at a time with luggage which was not a big deal at all, just something to note. Next to some amazing restaurants and super close to amazing sights! Not the worst stay, it just started off with a blaring fire alarm that was not ideal for jet lag. Very kind staff!

Amazing localization - within this area you can access all main atractions by foot. In addition, metro is just around the corner (literally).

On the flip side, there was some issue with malfunctioning fire alarm - gentelman at the reception advised it is nothing - three days in a row.

Very comfortable beds however, very small room (maybe just room no. 31?) but this is a Paris standard from what I know.
