Pros:

Everything was perfect, the hotel is beautiful. Adam at the reception is a super nice guy and he is the bright light of the hotel. Would stay there again and I would reccomend the stay there anytime.

Cons:

The manager is rude with unnecessary comments and wierd attitude. Otherwise all is super great.

Great boutique hotel in the heart of the Latin Quarter
Pros:

This is a great boutique hotel in the Latin Quarter. Great location, clean, friendly staff (the breakfast hostess was particularly amazing), great breakfast. The front desk staff had great recommendations especially Maison D'Isabelle and the market which is right around the corner. Very walkable. Rooms were small as in most of Europe but had all necessary amenities.

Cons:

Nothing really. Great experience.

Second stay and very happy with it
Pros:

It was my second stay here and everything was as expected. I really enjoyed the room with a balcony. It was rainy during our stay, but we still managed to have breakfast outside twice. The area is a favorite of mine in Paris. It’s quiet, with several metro stations in the walking distance and plenty of bakeries/ coffee places

Cons:

It’s not a deal breaker, but some renovations are needed to be done while others were done hastily. For example, there was a small hole in the wall in the hall area of the room and the other wall had patches of different color paint (I assume they were trying to cover something). The hotel is very nicely designed and as a designer myself I enjoyed it very much, but my eye was still drawn to these small things.

Pros:

Great location. Very clean. Good facilities. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Breakfast could be a bit better. No English breakfast tea. Toaster but no sliced bread. Ran out of fruit yoghurt, only plain yoghurt.

Leuk design hotel in rustige omgeving
Pros:

Hotel ligt in een rustige straat. Om de hoek vooral bakkers en ontbijt- lunchtentjes. Ook leuk dat er drie dagen per week een marktje is op 150 meter lopen. Personeel is vriendelijk. Bed was goed, de badkamer klein maar met goede douche.

Cons:

Kleine kamer met klein raam. Kastruimte ook beperkt. Metro niet naast de deur.

Pros:

Estaba bien ubicado en el barrio latino y la atención del personal fue muy cordial aunque la habitación era realmente pequeña. No recomendable si vas con valijas pues no se pueden abrir en la habitación ya que la cama la ocupa casi por completo. Y no es barato . . El desayuno aceptable pero nada del otro mundo.

Cons:

La habitación muy pequeña.

Outstanding hotel stay near Notre Dame - Check it out!
Pros:

We especially liked the locations and the style of the hotel. The staff were excellent, and the room was amazing with a phenomenal balcony view of the church. Breakfast had great offerings and the fre coffee and refillable glass bottles were a huge plus. We will be back!

Cons:

Had to tink on this one - only minor one was uncontrollable by the hotel - the bells of the church across the street randomly chime all the time - sometimes as many as 20+ - we got used to it after a while but it was a bit annoying at times. No complaints about the actual hotel at all :)

3 star hotel with mediocre accomodations
Pros:

The staff was great, super location, very clean.

Cons:

We had a 'comfort' room which was very small- almost claustrophobic. Very small bathroom. Extra tiny lift.
