Very small, but it is Paris. Very clean. Staff were polite. Couldn’t hear neighbors, which is nice because I got sick and was scared my neighbors would get annoyed of my coughing. Worth the price.

I stayed for two nights as a solo traveller. The location is excellent. Walking distance to Pantheon, Luxemberg gardends and Notre Dame Cathedral. 1 short walk to Metro stations and also close to Sain Germaine area. If you do not mind small rooms, this hotel is reasonably priced and well situated. I would definitely stay there again.

I really like the vibe of this small hotel. It’s super convenient, unpretentious and friendly. You are steps away from the metro to go anywhere you want. Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, Mouffetard St, Notre Dame are all within walking distance. And there are lots of restaurants, cafes, boulangeries all around. I love this place, I’ve been there before and I will go back!
