the air conditioning was OUTSATNDING it could make the room comfortable. Several USB power jacks for charging electronics. Towels were large and fluffy. Steady hot water for the shower temperature didn’t fluctuate with water pressure. Beds were fine maybe too firm for my preference but decent. Quite street no night time traffic to speak of. Helpful staff. Mauricio !

Tiny room! Next door construction was quite loud but only during the day. Not very close to the Metro station (Odeon) RER was closer (Luxembourg) no gap seal on the bottom of the shower partition caused significant leak on floor. I added a towel to seal the gap after the first day. Small desk and area to place documents. Elevator is slow but I chose to walk up to the second floor any higher would be a problem. Some staff had difficulty understanding English. Refrigerator doesn’t have a temp setting and isn’t very effective

the location is great, close to Luxembourg Gardens and close to a train line, on a quiet street with no traffic. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful with guiding us in the right direction around the city. The room and bathroom were small but it was clean and had special design touches that we truly enjoyed.

My only complaint would be the construction on the hotel next door that sounded like it was in the room with us. The crew started work at 7am on weekdays and 8am on Sat. We were already awake and planning for our day so it didn’t wake us but if we had wanted to sleep late, that would have been impossible.

The breakfast was just the right amount of food. It was prepared well. The lemon cake was incredible. The location is perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was in a room that faced a central back courtyard away from the street on the 6th floor and there was ZERO NOISE. There was a small issue with the shower water going into the bathroom and bedroom area, but they corrected it and the entire staff made sure that I was attended to. The water pressure in the shower was the best I’ve had in traveling in Europe for 30 years.

The elevator is a bit slow, but that is not unusual in Europe. The croissants ran out one day but that is because people off the street came into the building to eat. Sometimes the heat was so good that it got just a little hot in the room.. All of these things are very minor.

very nice small hotel, really enjoyed my stay there! what’s important: - felt safe and welcomed as a solo female traveler. - reception is super tiny, but people working here exceeded my expectations - were very polite and helpful, highly appreciated! - you can leave your luggage before check in - location is just perfect! no more construction nearby, so there were no disturbing sounds from the street. everything is literally available by foot - good breakfast with truly great coffee - bed is comfy - room is quite cozy, loved small details such as books and cute decor - there was an elevator - no worries if you have heavy luggage - shampoo and shower gel were in big bottles - you won’t need to take them with you - no unpleasant smells, everything is quite brand new - there were two heaters (easy to access) - you may control the temperature by yourself

very friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms and hotel, comfy beds with nice linens.

because the rooms are so small it would be helpful to have coat and clothes hooks on the wall instead of the bookshelves.

location is excellent if you are looking in that area of Paris, short walk to Metro, Pantheon very close and Luxembourg Gardens a very close bonus in Spring I found. The single room was well appointed, typically not big but I mostly only sleep in it, little desk was handy also. More than adequate with a modern vibe. Being partly in France for music, the record studio & audio room in the basement was a rare treat in a hotel, unique I’d say. Overall pretty much as expected. All the staff were super helpful I should say.

I’m used to a kettle in the room , but it was nicer to go to the cafe by reception, get a fresh coffee snd chat, it’s there 24/7, more an observational remark rather than dislike

The hotel was great. Very modern and in an excellent part of town. Really close to the Luxembourg gardens and Notre Dame. Staff was very helpful with storing my bags and the room was really cutely decorated and clean. I loved the extra touches of the free tote bag, postcards and cookies on check in!

The only negative and this isn't even a negative of the hotel but just of the area is that there is very loud construction happening on the street outside currently. I was there on the 14th and 15th of June and on the first floor. Luckily I was up early and almost on my way out when extremely loud construction started right outside my window, with construction workers loudly talking and fully able to see inside my room. So if you're planning to sleep in or leave your curtains open, maybe think again or at least request a room on a higher floor.

The staff were what made this stay a pleasure: every person I interacted with during my stay was personable, helpful, and cheery. The location is amazing: right by the Luxembourg gardens, easy walking to so many sites, and metro to others (as well as easy RER to CDG). Lots of good cafe/bar/restaurant/shopping options near by.

The rooms are miniscule, the beds not particularly comfortable, and the elevator pings constantly; I was glad to have earplugs. Not much space to unpack clothes either. It was manageable as a solo traveler for this trip, but I'd look for other options when traveling with partner/family.

This was a cute boutique hotel with a tasty breakfast. I loved visiting the gift shop, cafe, and basement music studio. I think the hotel is conveniently located especially since the B line train thar goes to the airport stops nearby. Also it is located near beautiful tourist attractions like the Pantheon and the Luxembourg Garden. There are some decent food options in the area as well. For tasty baked goods I suggest you visit Boulangeri Bo & Mie that's not even 10 min walking distance from the hotel.

The room was on the small side for USA standards but perfectly comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room and it can be hard to contain the water within the slanted flooring section of the shower. Lastly, and this is also probably an American/USA thing as well, but there is no refrigerator or microwave within individual hotel rooms. There's no ice maker/machine. Additionally we booked 2 rooms. However only 1 set of guests received complimentary water bottles.

Great value for money. The location is excellent, its a vibrant area with alot of good cafes and restaurants nearby. Its within walking distance to a number of the main attractions and there is the metro only a few hundred metres walk away which gives easy access to other areas. The room was basic yet comfortable with good space, TV, wifi, air/heating etc. Staff were helpful and there is a nice little Cafe that is part of the reception area which I liked. For the value and location would stay here again.

Shower is good but water overflowed into rest of bathroom easily
