Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily recommend this hotel.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room and bed were very comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious with a large shower. The hotel was clean, nicely decorated, and the breakfast was fresh and tasty. A nice extra was the free 24/7 access to coffee, water, and cake. The location was excellent – it felt safe, was close to many attractions, and was a great base for exploring the city. We also appreciated being able to leave our luggage both before check-in and after check-out without any issues.

Cons:

The only downside was that we were not informed before our stay that a security deposit would be required on our credit card. We understand the need for a deposit, but it would have been helpful to know about it in advance.

Weekend in Paris ❤️
Pros:

A fantastic boutique hotel for a weekend in Paris. The rooms are quite small, but that's to be expected in Paris. The location is perfect for sightseeing, with the metro station just 50 meters from the hotel. There are plenty of wonderful cafés and restaurants nearby. The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

Delusione totale
Pros:

La posizione è l’arredo scelto con gusto

Cons:

Camere minuscole per un 4 stelle, con armadio mini e senza frigobar. Anche la sala colazione è strettissima e non è assolutamente all’altezza di un 4 stelle. Pisolo due carierà di croissant, pochissima varietà di salato e caffetteria prodotta tutta dalla macchinetta automatica

A very nice hotel in a good location
Pros:

Very polite staff at the reception, good breakfast for Parisian standards. You can have coffee, water and cake all day long, which ia super nice. The room seems to be recently renovated, nice bathroom, good sound isolation. Once again a wonderful stay.

Cons:

Not applicable.

What a delight to stay at ‘the unexpected’!
Pros:

What a lovely little hotel! The room was clean and stylishly decorated. The breakfast was superb - so much choice! AC in the rooms made surviving the Paris heats lot easier. The location is great - not central so a bit quieter super easy to travel to different parts of the city (Notre Dame is one metro train away, The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are both a bus-ride an away, the Luxembourg gardens a 5 minute walk!). The thing that made this stand out was the customer service; little touches like having filtered water in a carafe in the rooms, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and sought to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
