    A lovely little boutique hotel next to Jardin du Luxembourg. Very good location and walking distance to the metro, sites and shopping. Cute little cafe and bookshop on site. The staff were warm and friendly.

    Had to wait minutes for the elevator (very slow) then I decided to go by the stairs :D .. anyway it was worth to do, stairs are an Art Gallery!

    Great position very close to public transportation and the wonderful Jardin du Luxembourg. I had just a night spent in Paris so it has been perfect for my purpose. Great staff very kind, nice room clean and quiet. The stairs are very nice, like an art gallery:worth to use them instead the elevator

    There was no safe box in the room, no kettle and no sleepers. It was also a continuous water dripping sound from the heating or the air co. I did not bother to inform the front desk at the middle of the night. I was on 6th floor and room was overlooking the street and it was a very lovely quiet street. Since there was no safe box, Steven was kind to storage my laptop and belongings in the safe box at their office.

    It was well located and easily accessible to public transportation and a short walk to main highlights of the city.

    The location is very nice and feels super safe to travel alone as a woman. The doors were not soundproofed which is one of the few things I would improve. I always travel with air plugs, so it did not bother me too much. It could also be a bit cleaner in the stairway. All in all this is just a really regular paris hotel for the price category that it is in.

    Great location - just 5 minutes walk from Luxemburg station, so you can get there by train RER directly from Charles-de-Gaul airport. Easy to get to the most of sightseeings. Room is pretty small, but clean and comfy. Great cafe on the first floor with a decent coffee, which is not easy to find in Paris.

    Bathroom was clean but a little bit small but for 3 people it worked out just fine.

    Clean facility and comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly and we really enjoyed the café in the hotel. The workers in the Café were always friendly and made great coffee. We had Croissants there most of the time but ordered breakfast once, and it was good. Great value for a hotel in Paris, especially in the Latin Quarter. Location was also good; not very far from the Metro station and restaurants. Great overall value. We booked on Booking.com.

    I was surprised by the austere rooms. White walls, no shelves or drawers for clothes. No tea kettle. No tissues. Considering the price, it could have offered minimal comforts.

    Location is excellent.

    For a solo traveler the room size (though a bit small) was not an issue at all. However it might be a bit challenging for people who appreciate a wider space to move.

    I checked in my bag at the hotel as I arrived earlier than my check-in time. The staff was v helpful and friendly. Always greeting the guests with a smile and happy to provide help when needed. The room was super clean and tidy. Had everything I needed with some nice touches like a map for the surrounding area with suggestiins for things to do. The facility is well maintained and has all the essentials like elevator, hot water, clean towels, shampoo (no conditioner), body wash, hair dryer, heating (during cold seasons), TV in the room where you can connect your USB drive to plus some local French channels and a coffee shop on the ground floor. One of the best parts about French Theory is its location. In the 5th arrondissement which is one of my favorite areas in Paris. It is close to bus stations, metro, shopping outlets, cafes and restaurants. A walk down Boulevard St. Getmain is enough to make my day. I would choose French Theory again when I come to visit Paris. It was definitely a plus to my trip.

    The AC made noise even when turned off. It was white noise so I managed to fall asleep with earplugs in but could be an issue if you're a very light sleeper. Quiet in the evening overall though

    Great reception, friendly staff. Breakfast is similar price to brunch places near the hotel so it's good value if you want to save time eating there before heading off to check out the city. Bed and bathroom were clean and met basic needs for a good stay.
