Pros:

Konumu çok iyidi, çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımsever

Cons:

4 gece konakladık. Odamız 4. Kattaydı ve asansör arızalıydı. Bavullari taşımak her seferinde dört kat çıkmak ve inmek çok zahmetli oldu. Çok eski bina odalar bakımsız. Banyo ile tuvaletin ayrı olması ve farklı köşelerde olması sorun

Decent hotel with room for improvement
Pros:

The position
The price was affordable, considering it was a last-minute reservation
Some hotel concierges were helpful...

Cons:

...others were not. Especially the night one seemed to be there by chance
The hotel would need some renovation, rooms and services are pretty old. Some odd room switch combinations were needed to turn hair-dryer on or make tv service work
The elevator broke in the middle of our stay, the alternative was a narrow spiral staircase which proved to be a real torture to my 80yo mother.

Excelente escolha em Paris, perfeito!
Pros:

A localização é excelente, 10 minutos andando para a Notre Dame, 2 minutos do metrô, carrefour do outro lado da rua. Ficamos no terceiro andar, quarto pequeno porém muito confortável, silencioso, duas camas de solteiro ótimos, frigobar que fez toda a diferença. Equipe sempre bem humorada e simpática. Água na recepção e máquina de café (paga). Café da manhã excelente por 12 euros, vale a pena! Melhor hotel da viagem!

Cons:

O box do banheiro é bem pequeno - pessoas acima de 1,70 irão ter dificuldades de mexer, poderia ser maior! obesos nem pensar, nao entram.

Central location good for couples
Pros:

This is a great spot that is centrally located for walking. Very close to the Sorbonne and the bars and restaurants of the Latin Quarter, easy walking distance to Jardin du Luxembourg, Notre Dame, and the Pantheon. There's a really good coffee shop (Noir) and a boulangerie at the intersection of Rue du Cardinal Lemoine right down the street. Lots of little cafes to grab a bigger breakfast if you're looking for more. If you're interested in authentic Chinese noodles, try TranTranZai for dinner, near the Pantheon and right next to several good bars for after dinner drinks. Our room was tiny, with barely enough space for two people and luggage, but it's Paris and that seems par for the course. Beds were comfortable and the AC was good. The bathroom was a tiny closet but serviceable. It has a combination tub/shower, so if you have mobility issues it may be awkward to get in and out. They have a left luggage service downstairs but we did not need it. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. It isn't a luxury hotel, but for the price and location I'd definitely stay again.

Cons:

Most hotel rooms in Paris are quite small and there isn't much you can do to change that, but it was a little cramped for two people. On the other hand, it's Paris, so you won't be in your room that much anyway.

Il soggiorno, per fortuna, non è solo dove dormi. A parigi ritorneremo. Non in quell'albergo.
Pros:

posizione ottima per visitare il centro di parigi a piedi (nostre dame, place de vosges, saint chapelle, conciergerie, louvre, museo della gare d'orseay...). l'albergo è a pochi metri dalla metropolitana. Stanza silenziosa.

Cons:

il bagno piccolissimo, non corrisponde alle fotografie dell'albergo!. Avevamo una piccola vasca di quelle da "bambini" dove non riuscendo nemmeno a sederci rischiavi di scivolare e perdere l'equilibrio. stanza molto piccola. Direi che per quello che abbiamo pagato mi sarei aspettata altro....almeno la doccia che si vede nelle foto.
