This hotel is a 2 minute walk from the RER-B station and 5 min from the Luxembourg gardens. There is a pharmacy and bubble tea store located very near to the hotel as well. Great location! Staff is friendly and speaks English, but using some French is helpful. Our room had a balcony and large windows that opened to the outside with blackout shades. They will store your bags while you walk around the city. Excellent stay for the price.

Location!!! Right in the heart of the Latin Quarter. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great stay. I would repeat.

United States of America

Location was great. 2 blocks to train station for 10 euro trip to Charles de Gaulle airport. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Luxembourg Gardens 2 or 3 blocks away. Within easy walking distance (1/2 to 1 mile) to Louvre, Notre Dame, and moderate walking distance to Arc, Eiffel, Catacombs (1-4 miles). Several bakeries and restaurants nearby. Beds were comfortable, room and common areas clean. Staff were polite. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel and didn't see what was offered. The building is old, which we expected, and did not mind some eccentricities, like the room door opening into the bathroom (which is large), some exposed plumbing pipes, older furniture, thick coats of paint on window frames. The room itself was also large (we had a triple), plenty of space. Window looked over street below.

Janice

United States of America

The location is perfect! And a pleasant surprise was the view from the room with a tiny balcony where you can sip your coffee and enjoy the Paris architecture! Located in the Latin Quarter and just minutes away from the major attractions in Paris: Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, l'Ile de la Cite. Also the RER line is very close by. Lots of cozy cafes to spend time relaxing from long walks.

Saule

The hotel is situated in a very nice neighborhood, nearby Luxembourg park, Pantheon and RER and metro stations and short walking distance to Notre Damme. The cosy room was tidy with daily cleaning and changing towels.

Overall, the proper quality and room cleaning were really poor. I would expect a better-cleaned room given the price paid.
The location was excellent, very convenient to visit the city and with many convenient stores in the surroundings.

“A reasonable hotel in a great place with excellent service.”
- • Leisure trip

Sadly as the room was so warm we could have done with the windows opening, but they appear to be sealed shut. The decor is a bit tired but I suspect they will sort that out as it has been mentioned in other reviews.
Its position is great, almost next door to Marie Curie's house with easy access to both main airports via the metro. The staff are very helpful and always available (24/7). There is a lift to all rooms but one which I think, as its the only one on the top floor, is for special occasions. The rooms are very warm, in fact even though it was February, we needed to turn the radiator off at night to be able to get to sleep. The shower was roomy, the water hot and the wifi really did extend to our room on the 4th floor. So all round exactly what they said it was. As to eating and drinking, there is a great little French restaurant (Le Coup de Torchon) just around the corner which had 3 course dinner for 15.90 Euro including water, wine on top. The same road as this restaurant also had other interesting venues including a Tibetan restaurant, Vietnamese restaurant and several others. Also down the same road is a bar called Wide Open Spaces (WOS) which during happy hour sold large beers at 4 euros the cheapest we had during our stay.

First I liked the location of the hotel. The most sights are situated within walking distance. Next there are nice cafes with tasty coffee and fresh baking. The most surprising thing is a great amount of bookshops where it can be bought rare old examples. The whole word about the hospitable, responsive staff.

The breakfast was mostly bread and jams with coffee, tea and juice and some fruit. i like something more substantial but it did not take away from the great stay we had there.
This hotel is just a short walk from the ferry terminal. It's an older building with a big courtyard and both an upstairs and downstairs. The room was spacious and laid out very nicely and it was clean and comfortable. We had a great stay and the owners can speak some English and are helpful.
