Booked at the last minute and happy to find a place, later I understood why. Stayed there 4 days with my boyfriend. Since I was French speaker, I was the one communicating with the old lady, probably the owner of the place, at the reception desk. From the start she wasn't nice, and this got worst the second day when... More

We were quite hesitant to book this hotel after reading the bed bug and stolen luggage horror stories, but were desperate to stay in a hotel within walking distance of Notre Dame. PROS: All the staff were extremely pleasant. The prices were very reasonable considering we were so close to Notre Dame, the Pantheon and the Luxembourg Gardens. Breakfast was... More

Cheap, clean, the furniture could be better. Shower cabin had no shower holder, one of three shower cabin doors was missing, hence water on the floor. Towels are clean and changed daily, bed sheets are ok. No fridge. Quiet street, close to RER direct line to CDG. Good choice if you need hotel just for a sleep. Would consider staying... More

The location is great! The standard wasn't the best though. Filthy bed sheets and just a half wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. One of my friends had bed bugs, he was offered another room though. Furthermore you will hear the cars outside your window the whole night. Still worth the price and location! More

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and was once again impressed. The hotel presents great value for money in Paris. Although the rooms are dated, they are clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast is simple but adequate. The staff speak next to no English but are patient and willing to assist with your needs. A very... More

This hotel, located right by the Luxembourg metro stop, is great. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and the maid service was excellent. We stayed in a room with a shower, and we had fresh towels everyday, as well as a cleaned room and bathroom; the WC was in the hall, and, while it was sort of old, it... More

This is quite an old hotel but is in reasonably good condition. When we checked in the bathroom wasn't clean to my standards, but then the daily maid service seemed to remedy that. The staff speak very little English so do brush up on your basic French. Our room had a quaint, cozy feel to it and was quite roomy.... More

I stayed here for one night for 60 euros (no WC) for a double room and it's not the best, but also cheap. I can't easily think of anywhere cheaper in expensive Paris. Even hostel dorms are only a little cheaper. Our bed was shaped like a (bracket) tipped on its side, so we both ended up in the crevice... More

The hotel owner 'gave' away my luggage! That is a random man(thief) walked in off the street and pointed to my bags and the husband manager/owner let him take them. This is despite the thief not knowing my name, room number, etc . The manager had taken our bags after checkout and promising to look after them for the day.... More

Stayed four times already. It is an affordable hotel in a good location in Latin Quarter, very close to Luxembourg RER station. I always walk to Notre Dame from there having a stop for breakfast at Place de la Sorbonne. Walking takes about 15 minutes through Boulevard St Michele. Rooms are very basic, somewhat tired, but clean. Expect nothing special.... More
