Guest Ratings & Reviews
I loved my stay at the hotel! The location is superb with many shops and restaurants nearby, close to the Seine and major attractions. The rooms were cozy and well-heated during the chilly December weather, although a bit small for a longer stay. The service was exceptional, especially Pauline at reception who went above and beyond to assist with a transfer issue. The dining experience was splendid, offering a variety of delectable options. A truly vibrant and convenient place to stay!
The hotel offers small but comfortable rooms, suitable for short stays. Upgrading to a larger room is recommended for longer visits. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is convenient with easy access to various areas of the city and several dining options nearby. The dining experience is good but could offer more variety. Overall, a satisfactory stay with minor room size considerations for longer trips.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Sorbonne, offering a modern and comfortable stay. The service is accommodating and friendly, with suggestions for local restaurants. The dining experience is good value for money, although options nearby are abundant. However, the courtyard shared with private apartments may disrupt the tranquility of the stay.
The hotel is nestled in a historical area close to two metro stations, making it an ideal spot for exploring Paris. The rooms offer a nice view of the Pantheon at night and boast good beds and showers, but a lack of amenities like a water boiler for a hot drink was noticeable. The service was excellent with a cool design, while the dining experience, though basic, offered value for money. The location shines as the prime reason to stay here, with access to various cafes and landmarks, although improvements could be made to the dining options.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms, though small as expected in Paris, were done with charm and included helpful amenities. The service was top-notch, especially Pauline at reception who went above and beyond to assist us. The location was superb, just a short stroll away from the bustling Latin Quarter and transport options. The dining experience was pleasant, although the solo waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed at times.
I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in a room facing an interior courtyard. The room, although clean, was too small for a couple with luggage. The service was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants and the staff was friendly. The location is superb, just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the Latin Quarter and close to the Luxembourg RER station. The dining experience was adequate, but a bit dearer than nearby options. Overall, a convenient stay with some minor drawbacks.
