Very helpful and friendly reception.
Rooms smallish, but roomy enough for all we had to do!
Lovely breakfast! Even when we had to leave at 6:30 am, there were eggs, fruit, many cereals,coffee, yoghurt, cheese, etc- just no pastries, as they arrive at 7! Very accommodating!
And 20 minutes from Notre Dame, the Louvre, and our special dinner out at Frenchie! Perfect!
Highly recommended!

Beautiful property in perfect location. More effort needed on main and putting cleaning materials away.

Great location - within walking distance to different train stops.

However not the best property. AC isn’t turned on until later in the summer but was quite stuffy. Windows didn’t have a screen so we were concerned about bugs coming in if we left the window open.

The elevator is really tiny and usually just need to take stairs (fine for us, but if you have mobility issues, then this hotel might not be the place for you).

The twin beds are super tiny and outlets aren’t at both beds unfortunately.
The bathroom door didn’t close well.
The bathroom is soooooo tiny.

Staff is awesome. But a lot was broken and there was nowhere shower just a bath tub. Was super hot cause the heat and cooling is controlled by the entire building so the temperature could not be adjusted. The location is good. But yeah just not impressive at all and kind of pain however super cheap so worked well enough for us.

Booked 2 rooms for 4 nights and had a superb stay. Staff were really helpful, from check in to check out and our last day storing our cases and helping us with the metro. Each room was big enough for 2, not huge, but we we pleasantly pleased and the bed was really comfy. Ok so there are not much supplies for tea and coffee with milk but you have a fridge and a shop more or less opposite on the main road to stock yourselves up. Air conditioning didn’t really seem to kick in but we didn’t feel overly warm and yes the loft is small but all part of the charm of this boutique hotel. The area is absolutely the best I’ve stayed in Paris with each way you walk something different and so much choice for food and drink. We visited most places on foot but taxied to the Eiffel Tower and metro’d to the ChampEllysee. All easy enough.

A really lovely place to stay. The area around the hotel feels very safe, plenty of dining options (highly recommend la sanserre which was recommended by the very helpful and english speaking receptionist, the special breakfast was amazing) and area was nice and lively enough to have some relaxed food and drinks. Metro stop (arts et metiers) 5 min walk away which connects easily (2 stops) to the main number 1 metro line which you need for visiting all the main attractions. Supermarket just over the road. Also Republique stop 5-10 mins is lively with your usual McDonald's etc if you want that. Would 100% stay here again. Drinks and food prices were reasonable in the area.

Good location. Limited amenities. Except for the front desk staff when we arrived, most of the staff were friendly and accommodating. On arrival, we were not made to feel welcome and our luggage seemed to an imposition. Rooms are fairly basic with no shower cap or a place to put the soaps bar. Too many decorative pillows which likely don’t get sanitized very often. Perhaps the Left Bank would’ve been a better choice.

Excellent location especially for vintage clothes shopping. I walked to the Notre dame, Louvre, Sainte Chappell and Galeries Lafayette and the walk was not bad at all since there so much to see on the way. There was remodeling going on and was told the AC will work a week after. I was given a portable fan and heater. I had a junior suite which was quite roomy for us two. There was no hair dryer in my room and the front desk person said she couldn’t find one for me knowing that I was staying for five nights. I requested to notify the manager and they placed a small travel size hair dryer in my room when I returned. They locked the the hotel entrance after midnight and a staff is needed to open the door going in and out. The staffs are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel

Paris is so enormous that it is sometimes really difficult to find a good place to stay. After so many years of coming to Paris I finally had a chance to stay with my family in Le Marais; the 3rd District. Let me tell you! Every single return trip to Paris now will have us staying in this incredible neighborhood! What an absolute pleasure. Extremely convenient! Wonderful hotel. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. In air condition too! Definitely important when Paris gets hot.

The location was great, the street was quiet but nearby many dining options and shops and if you want to be in the Marais area without spending an insane amount of money this hotel fit the bill. However, the first night we stayed we found a clump of hair stuck to the top sheet. We were too tired to complain so we just removed it and slept without a sheet, they replaced it the next day but did not make the bed with it so we had to make our own bed. The staff were friendly and provided dining recommendations when asked. We didn't pay for the optional breakfast and I'm glad we didn't because the offerings looked like barely more than what you would find at a hostel. Our room was fairly spacious though weirdly designed with too many hangers and naked silhouettes but the best part of the rooms were the beautiful windows that opened up to a tiny balconette with views of a typical Paris apartment building and street. The shower was tiny, and had no where to place your toiletries which was annoying. It also should be noted that the elevator, while it laughably says it fits 3, does not fit more than 2 people (and maybe a small child?) or only one person and a suitcase at a time. The hallway outside the rooms is also incredibly small and you cannot comfortably walk through it with more than 2 people. Luckily we never ran into anyone from the other 4 rooms in the hallway or it would have been awkward. Overall, location and balconette made it worth the stay but cleanliness was lacking.
