 Pension Les Marronniers Questions 

Has anyone stayed at Pension Les Marronniers?

The web site shows no pictures of the bedrooms.

What are they like? Small? safe door locks? a safe in room?

How clean is the place?

Thank you

The hotel is listed on BonjourParis, in Special Places to Stay, and someone mentioned it on egullet.com - so I imagine it is serviceable.

www.bonjourparis.com/pages/inexpensive.php

"...snag a room at Les Marronniers—one of the last pensions (which is a rooming house where one can stay for a few days, a few weeks, or even a few years) in Paris. This lovely, family-run pension has been in the Poirier family for over 100 years and is run by Marie Odile, a woman who runs a very tight ship. There are 12 simply furnished rooms in all, most with a shower, but only one with a WC. Each one comes with a desk, shelves, a small refrigerator, and direct-dial phone. You'll be able to help yourself to the library and sitting room, where you'll find a collection of more than 200 films. A typical French breakfast is served every morning and at 7:00pm the guests all sit down together for a home-cooked three-course meal....Located on the corner of rue d'Assas and rue Vavin in the 6th arrondissement, overlooking the Jardin du Luxembourg.

78, rue d'Assas, Escalier A-1st floor, 6th. Métro: Vavin or Nôtre-Dame des Champs. Telephone: 01-43-26-37-71. Fax: 01-43-26-07-72. Website: www.pension-marronniers.com

"...You could also try a pension. There are two right near the luxembourg gardens, which have simple, clean, safe accommadations. The nicest is probably the Pension Marrionniers (which I have stayed in). It's a little like staying at someone's grandmother's house. But rooms are booked well in advance...."

It's been a few years since we stopped to check out Pension Les Marronniers but my recollection of what we saw of the 1eme etage public spaces was pretty much what is shown on the web site's photos (I'd carry the 'grandma' comparison farther by saying that it looked as if '..grandma had exploded..' here in a cloud of chintz, floral patterns and knick-knack shrapnel) The vacant guest room that we saw (as I recall the only one unoccupied at the time..and would be filled later that day to make the place fully booked) were much the same 'mix' of 'grandma' and basic tourist accommodation furnishings. The en-suite bath of the room we saw was clean and the public baths were also clean. As one would expect, the rooms appeared small (even by Parisian standards) but adequate. I don't recall seeing any room amenities like safes, hair dryers, etc.
