Nice, well located hotel with friendly staff. Nice, clean room. Only negatives were a non working hair dryer that the hotel promised to replace and didn’t. And a noisy, faulty flush mechanism on the toilet.

Great place to stay. Offered an upgrade for an apartment but kept original reservation due to convenience and more comfortable accommodations. Restaurant was good but only had breakfast and very reasonable. Underground parking very convenient as it is difficult finding overnight street parking.

The hotel and staff were lovely and the breakfast was exceptional. Would be happy to stay here again. The location was great for walking into the Latin Quarter with plenty of bars and restaurants. There was underground parking available which was a bit congested when we arrived but the staff shuffled the car around for us when needed. Fab hotel!

Verified review

4/10 Fair

It's a nice hotel in a good location and very friendly staff but for me, the most important thing about a hotel is the ability to have a good sleep. We had a room on the main street side which was unbelieveably noisy at night. Although the hotel seems to have undergone renovations recently, it's a pity they didn't think to install anything more than single glazing windows. We asked to switch rooms as we were staying for 3 nights but none were available. We will not be returning.
