      A gem in the Latin Quarter”

      We stayed for 5 nights in August 2021 in this nice and romantic hotel. As it is a historical mansion, do not expect anything you are used to in chain hotels. The rooms are small, but it is Paris. We did not need apartments as we came to it just for overnight. The location is perfect: 5 minutes walk to Île de la Cité and Notre Dame and to the Latin Quater with cafes, restaurant and shops. Breakfast is typical French: hot drink, baguette, croissant, butter, yogurt and jam (not buffet). The staff is very polite and attentive: they gave us a bottle opener and glasses for our wine in the room. It is a perfect place for Parisian vacation :)

      Lovely hotel in a central area of Paris - only 400m to the Louve - surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, bars and shopping precinct.

      We stayed in a room with cute Parisian interior and two French balconies. For breakfast, we got a basket with croissants, one baguette, yogurt and some butter, cheese and jam which tasted very good. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Perfect location close to everything. We would recommend it to anyone traveling to Paris, who wants to get good value for money!

      Have been staying here over the last 35 years. Really basic. But now with an elevator (tiny.) But if you want a basic hotel with breakfast that is clean, friendly and very well located, this is the place for you. No frills, but quiet and charming.

      Great old hotel near Sorbonne”

      This building is extremely old and it shows in uneven floors, a very strange lift only 18" deep (you have to stand sideways), and cramped bathrooms. But the price and location far outweigh these considerations. Only a continental breakfast is offered, and there is no kettle in the room. But two small grocery stores are within a block away.

      Great location, could use an update.”

      Stay for the location and breakfast. Request a room with a street view. Avoid rooms 4 and 9.

      Location location location... and thats about it”

      Location is great. However, the room I got (single bed room) was very tiny, old, with dirty carpet an old furniture. For someone tall it is not possible to sleep comfortably since the bed is bound by two walls so not possible to stretch.

      Old Fashioned but Unique Hotel.”

      Petit hotel, with petit room and very petit elevator. It's the elevator that is most unique and bit scary though as I never seen nor experience this kind of lift for all my hotels/hostels stay. The location is great as it is near to the establishments like coffee shops, restaurants and subway/metro too.

      Great location but not too much else”

      This hotel is in a wonderful location but sadly the place is cramped and in serious need of a renovation and the staff are disinterested and unhelpful. I stayed here a couple of years ago and it seems the place has gone downhill since then.

      Very old room...”

      Room is very classic and special but the equipment are very very old (e.g. doors are very hard to open and close, the floor is uneven), the breakfast has no choice. but the location is quite convenient, 3 minutes walk to Metro, and you can walk to some famous places. Many restaurants around this hotel.
