We stayed for 4 days and while it was not perfect, we enjoyed the hotel.
Pros:

(1) Location is perfect ... short walking distances to the Pantheon, Notre Dame Cathedral, the River Seine, Le Maison Bakery, Berthillon Ice Cream, and tons of restaurants.
(2) The staff was helpful and friendly.

Cons:

(1) The tiny hotel elevator will fit two smallish people or one person with a large suitcase and it only goes up to the 5th floor. We stayed on the 6th floor so had to walk up one flight of stairs. Not a problem except that there are uneven tiny steps in front of the elevator at the the 5th floor and I fell twice tripping on the steps, hitting my head hard. Management needs to make the landing one level to minimize tripping or at least mark them clearly with bright yellow tape.
(2) The breakfast each morning offers a wide variety of items but the composition is identical every day. We stayed 4 days and by the 3rd day, it was getting monotonous. It would not take too much effort or cost to offer a little more variation to the breakfast items, such as adding oat meal or porridge.

Great location and room
Pros:

The location was great and the room was large, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

I would have liked a bar in the lobby where I could get a glass of wine. Also the coffee machine was pods, and in France, you can do better. There is no excuse for crappy coffee here.

Pros:

Muito bom o café da manhã

Cons:

Pedi um quarto duplo e meu quarto era muito pequeno, como me hospedei sozinha, não tive problema, mas se fossemos 2 pessoas ficaria muito apertado.

Muy tranquila y bien ubicada
Pros:

Me gustó la ubicación, la amabilidad del personal, la limpieza de la habitación.
Además era amplia la habitación y el baño.

Cons:

Pues que las habitaciones están muy pegadas y cuando el vecino abría o cerraba la puerta se daba un portazo y me despertó en varias ocasiones.
