10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel. Nice staff, modern clean design, comfortable beds and good enough Wifi. Located in a great area of the city. There is some construction outside the hotel (August 2025), whick created some noise in the morning. Generally speaking, I enjoyed my stay, and would reccomend others to consider this hotel for their upcoming trip.

David, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was simple, and no frills. However, it was perfect for our needs given its ideal location. Walkable to a few notable attractions and centrally located with great food options nearby. Very easy to get to and from the airport as it's a 5 min walk to the metro. Staff were very friendly and attentive, hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was fantastic!

carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had a very short stay to beat the heat - staff were super friendly and accommodating, room was clean and blissfully cool. Amazing water pressure and cute little touches around the room. Short but sweet stay.
Erica, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and staff . Tiny single room and bathroom but adequate.
Susan, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was a good size, and staff are nice. Location is also excellent except there’s currently street construction going on right outside the hotel. This makes it inconvenient for being picked up by a taxi as you’ll need to walk to a side street. Once the construction is done, I think the hotel will be a popular spot. It’s close to everything and the rooms are clean and a good size for Paris.
