Very useful and friendly staff. Convenient location. Small but very well designed rooms with everything that's needed for a short stay. Particularly enjoyed the breakfast. Full mark.
Funky property, in an excellent location. Able to get a North American style breakfast in the lobby is a plus. Vinyl records and a record player, projection TV and a super industrial setup make this one of the most unique hotels I've had the pleasure of staying in.
This is my fave hotel in Paris!! :) The price is great and the rooms are comfy and adorable. The location is incredible. 10 min away from Notre Dame and from the metro stations nearby, you can go literally anywhere in Paris easily. I cannot recommend it enough!!! Merci beaucoup :)
I was on my own and it was a great value room - clean and good location for an early airport RER. Has a little cafe and close to some good restaurants/walks around Paris.
Friendly staff at the reception.
Very good location - close to Luxembourg RER and metro station. 15 mins walk to Notre Dame and several other attractions.
Clean room - stayed 2 wks. Staff very helpful and friendly. Restaurants and groceries (convenience store) close by. Buses close by. Loved the area, lots to see and you can take a bus or 2 to get places. Not sure about laundry never needed..brought enough so i don't need to worry about it.
