***Given a much smaller room than reserved, wall patched with paper and tape, and a manager who entered our room to count towels! ***
We reserved a larger twin-bed room and were given a much smaller double room. When we asked to be moved to the room we had actually paid for, the manager refused, became verbally aggressive, and offered no resolution whatsoever for the remainder of our stay. The room also had a section of wall patched with paper and tape (photographed). For a three-night stay costing close to $1,000, the condition was unacceptable. Nothing else included such as breakfast, coffee, nor even complimentary water bottles!
The most telling moment: we chose not to have housekeeping one day as an environmentally conscious decision. When we requested fresh towels the following day, the manager personally came to our room and counted the towels before providing replacements, apparently to confirm we hadn't stolen any. There was no legitimate reason for the entry. We were treated as suspects for making an eco-friendly choice. The location of the hotel is fine — that is the only positive thing we can honestly say. Everything else, from the room to the condition to the management, fell far below what was advertised and what we paid for.

This was in a great location walking distance to Notre Dame and the Louvre. Great bars and restaurants nearby. The room was cleaned everyday. The one thing is there should be more outlets, we had to unplug the tv and use that one because the one by the floor wasn’t working.

This hotel has zero amenities. No refrigerator, no coffee machine, no hair dryer in the room . The shower doesn’t even have shower curtain and you have to use hand shower to make sure the dloor is not getting wet , which is so stressful . The bathroom doesn’t even have toilet paper dispenser and you have to keep moving the toilet paper around, to make sure it doesn’t get wet when taking shower.
Asked for 2 simple glasses and the lady gave me a lecture and at the end said since there 3 people in the room they gave me one more glass for total of 3 glasses in the room . It is not a hotel it is just a room with bathroom. It is not worthed the price . Location of the hotel is the only positive thing.

Super nice people there at reception 24/7. Area was very convenient for walking around the Marais. Very loud on weekend nights, but didn’t keep me up. Only one outlet worked in my room and the shower light was out, but housekeeping came every day and the room was very tidy with fresh towels and a made bed when I returned from a long day. Only wish there was a better sitting area or bar downstairs. There is no music or anything in the lobby, it’s very quiet. Didn’t want to sit in silence with the man at the desk down there, but my room was cozy so no real need I suppose.

The room was clean and basic with all necessities and a comfortable bed; staff were friendly and helpful; the air conditioning was appreciated, as extremely hot; the location was ideal, BUT it was very expensive and because of the cost a few extras should have been included, such as a mirror in the bedroom and a small fridge to store cold drinks; the loo roll holder was broken and there were some loose tiles on the bathroom; altogether a disappointing stay, particularly as we stayed in the same hotel in June last year in a very similar, if not the same, room for £100 less per night!

This hotel was in an excellent location, very close to Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Seine River, making it easy to explore Paris on foot. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always very helpful. The air conditioning worked very well, which was especially appreciated during the warm weather. The building itself is older, but it has been maintained quite well and has a lot of charm and character. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Kind staff but the pumping and lack of AC really bugged me. In late April they still have the AC turned off so you have no control over the temp of your room. If you open the windows it’s extremely loud with the bars nearby. Also the toilet didn’t flush right. Lots of water came and went but paper and waste remains. I didn’t like having to look at it for a day until housekeeping came and somehow got it gone. Old building so the doors slam and it’s loud. They keep your key while you leave I really would have liked them to check ID not just have us say the room number to get keys each time.

But it’s a safe neighborhood and controlled access so I would recommend it especially for solo travelers.

I would give the staff a 10/10 everyone was so nice.

My criticism is that it wasn’t as clean as I hoped. There were stains on our sheets and women’s hair it really grossed me out. The bathroom toilet didn’t flush if you used toilet paper so that was also a really gross issue.

The property was beautiful and in a great spot around good food but just beware if you get uncomfortable with things not as clean.

Solo stay while visiting friends in Paris. Bedroom was clean but tired. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was nice.

Unfortunately, had a very bizarre experience with the owner who kicked off when two young male friends came to visit me at the hotel while getting changed to go out for dinner. She seemed to indicate that she thought they were prostitutes which was incredibly embarrassing for everyone involved.

Front desk staff were helpful but their positioning in the entrance and insistence on taking the room key every time I left felt overbearing and intrusive.

Overall wouldn't recommend the hotel.

The room is typically European sized, but had excellent beds, good closets, a small sitting area, and a large picture window that opened to a small balcony giving it an airy feel.

Toilet paper holder broken. Towels OK but one day we didn't have any and I had to get dressed again and go down in lift as they had not told us how to ring reception. Tried to move rooms but they said not possible. Response to our complaint was that 'Hotels.com make more money than us' and we were shown the evidence. The hotel was attractive but reception was small and crowded with bikes and delivery of new table. The good thing about the hotel was convenience for the Marais area and some recommendations to local places to eat.

First we got to the hotel and had the most unusual rules, how we weren’t allowed to eat or drink in the room we paid for, they will
Literally asked you what’s in your bag so we had to sleep thirsty. Secondly, they asked for the keys every time u step out the front door. The older lady/ owner went in the room to check behind us when we went out. Very creepy the pressing iron we asked for was gone alone with the board. They complained about towels being used n why they were dirty n why we had them on the floor. Felt uncomfortable/ unsafe staying here. They were friendly but definitely had a motive.

My stay was great, the hotel is located perfectly in the beautiful marais with lots of shops, cafe and restaurant very close by. My only complaint would be of the bathroom and the bed. The bathroom is very cleaned however the shower is very small and very limiting space wise, plus a lot of water would spread across the bathroom with no plateform or designed area to limit the spread. The bed was great however it is very short. Me and my girlfriend had a lot of space in turns of how large the bed is but it isn’t very deep with both our feet sticking out or it. Other than these tiny inconveniences my stay was flawless and would definitely recommend to anyone.
