Location! The character had a real local feel. Unusual and creative interior

Andrea, United States of America

The art on the walls was great. The location to the Big Bus Tour is brilliant and the italian pizza place around the corner is a gem!

Alison, New Zealand

Every room plus the lobby is decorated with paintings by a different artist. The place has an art school vibe to it. Quite a unique place to stay. Staff was very nice and helpful. The location is really in the center of the Union Square area. The building is old but retains a lot of the original charm. Hallways feature artists works as well.

C, United States of America

Great location. Off a quiet street in St Michel. Very easy access to the metro and sites. Lots of bar and restaurant options nearby.

Winnie, United States of America

CC is the best...always working to accommodate guest requests whenever possible with one of the rare upbeat genuine positive friendly personalities second to none. Hector is equally as friendly accommodating and hard working. I look forward to seeing them both on our next stay. All of this even when challenged with a new booking system which overbooks rooms. They never tire and are always smiling.

There is a bar on the first floor and the music sound is too loud so that we cannot sleep very well.
The pictures in the hotel is amazing. The room is cleaning and the space is not big but enough for two people.

“Good quality for the price, reception staff not to praise”

Reception staff was unfriendly, never greeted you, told that it is not their job to take care of it when asked about hot water at breakfast, and complained loudly to each other about other staff not present st the time. Worst customer service and work attitude I have met in the U.S. and it was not only one person.
Room ok with basic amenities, as described. Ckeaning staff friendly. A breakfast included in the price was a pleasant surprise - toast, bagels, cream cheese, jelly, apples and oatmeal to cook yourself in the microwave oven, plus coffee and cereal bars.

Breakfast was very poorly done. Very limited. No real protien option. If you are doing a continental breakfast you can at least offer a pottle of yoghurt???. Just bagels, bread and spreads...not very healthy.
The art on the walls was great. The location to the Big Bus Tour is brilliant and the italian pizza place around the corner is a gem!

Breakfast was pretty meager with only oatmeal and toast as options. No fruit but occasionally there may be a few apples offered but not always. The breakfast bar could stand some re-thinking with placement of microwave and hot water carafe which are too high up on a narrow ahelf making it difficult to use without spilling stuff. There is a bar downstairs that gets quite loud at night.
Every room plus the lobby is decorated with paintings by a different artist. The place has an art school vibe to it. Quite a unique place to stay. Staff was very nice and helpful.
