Best deal in Paris
Perfect location!! No need to use the Metro—walk to all. Not sure why anyone called this a dorm—it’s better than any I’ve seen (including private colleges).
Friendly and helpful staff.

Quirky boutique hotel, lovely staff. Great room with excellent facilities, fab location near metro and lots of restaurants in walking distance. Loved our overnight stay. Prices dropped massively so that was a down side for us as non cancellable rate on booking but olympics were on so expect prices were inflated

Such a very nice hotel in the latin quarter. The room is very small as mentioned in the reviews, but for one person is more than fine. Very clean room with all you need including hairdryer and air conditioning. It is a little bit far from the city center and airport, however there are a couple of metro stations walking distance. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Nice hotel, close to Luxembourg Gardens
Great location right next to Luxembourg Gardens. So nice to walk through the Gardens and relax in the evening to people watch and eat a meal/picnic. Close to a metro station. There was construction going on next door which created some noise im the morning and throughout the day. But we went out early to explore and didn’t really sit in the room much.

Awesome location and fun environment for my teenage kids. They especially liked the movie projector and record player in the room. My only issue was a broken shower handle and poorly sealed shower door that let a lot of water run onto the bathroom floor.

Hotel was in a great area. While we knew the bathroom would be small it was even smaller than we expected. Not ideal for 4 ladies who need counter space. There was construction next door, which didn't bother us since we expected it but for some it may be a noise issue. you can hear your neighbors and people in the hall - think walls. It was convenient to have coffee downstairs and was in a great area to pick up and just go.
