I have nothing to add about the hotel itself that other commenters haven't already mentioned, but I will warn you that a mystery charge of 100 Euros was added to my credit card. I contacted them several times after discovering the charge, and after receiving an initial cryptic response was completely ignored. So they got away with stealing about $150.00... more

For the culture-oriented traveller very good start position.Small hotel,small rooms,but in good condition.For slim people without 10 suitcases optimum-fatties and exactings are to look for anything different-and expensiver!

The room was so small that we didn't have enough space for out suitcases. Bathroom was so dirty and showertools were broken. Basement (for breakfast) was freezing cold. Mentioned everything but nobody has taken action. Location is great but think before you book. There will be other hotels in the neighbourhood. more

I normally have no problems with the tiny rooms in Paris and the poor maintenance of its charming old buildings. I can even accept the poor noise isolation.

Carpeting stained, minimum cleaning of furniture. Maid leaves door/window open. No air conditioning. Portable fan in room didn't work. Not a place to stay in summer. Original room - 302 twin,... more

I read load of reviews for many hotels in Paris here and on other sites and it really helped me choose hotel. First it seems that hotel rooms in Paris are very small (speaking of 1 to 3 star hotels - up to 120 € per night), so I expected a small room and it really is, however we had... more

I visited this hotel with my teenager on a summer trip to France. We were on a tight budget, but wanted a little of the Latin Quarter feel. I found the hotel to be satisfactory. The rooms and bathroom were extremely small, but functional. We were there to see the sights, not the inside of the hotel room. It was... more
