The hotel is in a superb location, offering easy access to many tourist sights in Paris. The rooms are small but well-insulated, ensuring a peaceful stay when the windows are closed. However, they had a strong cigarette smell, which was very unpleasant. The rooms were consistently cleaned and well-made daily.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although a bit outdated. Despite appearing small online, they were actually more beautiful and modern in person. The friendly service recommended a fantastic authentic French restaurant nearby, and the location was ideal for exploring Paris' iconic sights.

The hotel is in a convenient location close to many key attractions. The rooms, though on the small side, are well-designed, but it's a shame they lack tea/coffee making facilities. The service varies from nice to hostile. The dining experience leaves much to be desired with limited options. However, the hotel is well-positioned for exploring Paris.

The hotel is situated in a great area on the left bank, close to many attractions and public transport. The rooms, though a bit small for two, have some soundproofing but may be disrupted by neighboring guests. The service was pleasant and professional, with the staff showing friendliness and providing a multilingual experience. The dining could improve with more varied options, but the Sicilian pastries were noteworthy. The location is very convenient with proximity to various metro stations and walking distance to key sites. Overall, a good value for money choice if you can overlook the occasional noise and limited room amenities.
