Pros:

We were very pleasantly surprised with the room and the overall facility. The breakfast were really great. The staff was quite helpful. The bathroom was fun and stylish and the bedroom was large enough. We were amazed at how well the closed windows shut out and street noise. One thing for future travelers to know is that, true to its name, the property is on the first floor up from street level. There is a fairly narrow circular stairway one needs to navigate to get to the property on the first floor. We are older and it was a little challenging but nothing that was us to give the property for review. We’d really enjoyed it and we’ll go back.

Pros:

this is, as many say, a little gem. each room is decorated carefully, the bedding, bed, and bathroom are all comfortable and well tought out. coffee, tea and cookies are available 24/7 and an ample breakfast is included in the price, served in the sitting area.

there is often no one at the reception desk, which can feel odd, but you can leave your luggage early and it will magically appear in your room when you come back. the location is great and the staff is kind.

Lovely little hotel
Pros:

Such a lovely place to stay in a great location. The room was a good size and beautifully decorated with lots of little extra touches included. The shower was also really good. Breakfast was included although I just had a drink which they allowed me to take to my room. It’s not your usual hotel but for me that didn’t matter, the receptionist was really friendly and was there in the morning for check out so I could leave my bag. The check in instructions were really clear and I thought it was easy to find. The corridor off the Main Street is dark but there is a light switch as soon as you walk in. Would definitely stay here again

Pros:

ABsolutely wonderful place in a great neighborhood. Super quiet in the room with no outside noise and the breakfasts were excellent.

Fantastic location and the owners and staff were wonderful hosts and so helpful and did not even laugh at my terrible French!

Book this place and you won't be disappointed!

Très sympa !
Pros:

Un calme inoui pour les chambres côté cours ! C'est une déconnexion totale avec le bruit au moment où l'on rentre dans la chambre. Le petit déjeuner est très sympathique et complet. Possibilité de se faire du thé ou du café pendant la journée au salon, donc bien pratique pour un moment de pause. Très bien situé également ! Pour un calme total, éviter la chambre à côté de la réception, on entend un peu toute la préparation du petit déj :) Mais c'est pas si grave, juste un conseil.

J'ai recommend!
Pros:

A terrific small hotel consisting of a few rooms on the first floor of a traditional old Marais building. Beautiful room design, comfortable beds, quiet, tea and coffee available in the longue and kitchenette.

Staff attend only in the morning, they provide a delightful continental breakfast and chat to guests about their plans for the day. I liked the contact time and otherwise didnt mind that desk was unattended.

I'd stay here again without hesitating.

Mysig vistelse i Paris
Pros:

Superfint hotell med väldigt centralt läge, ändå fick vi sova gott då det var tyst och mörkt i rummet. Servicen, renligheten, frukosten var toppen och vi kommer att bo här igen nästa gång vi besöker Paris!
