8/10 Very good

Kind and friendly stuff, good price for quality and location in Paris, very nice breakfast downstairs. The room could have been cleaner, but could come back
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Location, location, location! Close to metro and bus stops. Walking distance to Notre Dame, Louvre, Orsay, etc. Dozens of good restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooms are small - let’s be clear about this. Also the step up into the tub/shower is really high so maybe not a good choice for older or less mobile patrons, but the staff was delightful and the room was comfortable and ESPECIALLY quiet. We were very pleased.

10/10 Exceptional

Good room. Operable windows. Fridge. Heater - you can adjust it. Water got on the floor when taking a shower. Housekeeping came daily. The fire alarm went off twice. Not sure why. It was going for awhile. Bed was comfortable. Good staff. Helpful. I appreciated that it was staffed 24/7 making it safer and it just made more sense. Location is elite. The street is sometimes closed so taxis have to stop at corner and you walk your luggage up or down. Quiet at night. Water was provided which was wonderful. Paris has good water. They are doing something different and intentional there. I hope the level of care continues.
