“Merveilleux”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

A Marvelous hotel, I totally agree with all the positive reviews on trip advisor, the staff are very friendly, the service is excellent, this hotel is a very good choice. We particularly enjoyed the pasta at the Sicilian restaurant recommended by the hotel.

“"Nice Hotel with Helpful Staff"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We had a corner room with balcony, aside from many rainy days, this would be an ideal stay. The staff (especially front desk) was very helpful (english speaking). The Metro is only steps away so all of Paris is nearby.

“Fantastic! Without doubt will return to Paris and stay here!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012 via mobile

My husband booked this trip as a surprise and what a surprise!!! we stayed for 3 nights at the end of August. Very close to rail links and after a short walk (10 mins) from nation station we arrived at hotel. Hotel is very Parisienne and absolutely gorgeous, rooms were small but lovely, shower was fab and bed very comfortable. It was during a heat wave when we were there so the air con was a blessing coming back in to a lovely cool room after a day of sightseeing! Breakfast was lovely and plenty to choose from. Staff were very attentive and very helpful, the receptionist recommended a beautiful bistro to go to for dinner just a short walk from the hotel (au p'tit panisse) very French and absolutely stunning and reasonably priced. We had a fantastic time here and would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning in the near future.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

Great hotel , a little of the tourist trap but easy walk to metro then everything is so close. Lovely staff great breakfast and our room number 53 was lovely and bright. Recommend to all travellers. And a lovely little sushi restaurant just a minute down from the hotel served great food and was reasonably priced for Paris. Good WiFi and u can use the hotels laptop if your stuck. Plus they done our washing for us free of charge. The only hotel I have ever come across to do this. Thank you it was a blessing.

“Great service and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Loved this neighborhood - few tourists and lots of interesting ethnic cafes and restaurants. Plus the easy access to 2 metro lines. The hotel is small as are the rooms, but they are beautifully outfitted and the bathrooms are very modern. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast offered plenty of options for a continental breakfast - a great start to the day. For those who are considering traveling to the hotel by train - the Metro stop at Nation does have an elevator so that the trip from Gare de Lyon on line RER A, with our bags was easy - elevators and escalators all the way and then a 7-10 minute walk to the hotel.
