It says much about the general standard of Parisian hotels that this establishment rates so highly on Tripadvisor. The place is perfectly adequate - great location, helpful staff and clean - but garish colour schemes and a Nespresso machine do not a top-notch boutique hotel make.

The room I had (a grade up from standard) was small to the point of claustrophobic. If I'd been sharing it would have been totally unbearable. The bathroom and loo are squeezed in to such small places it necessarily means they are basic and cramped. Facilities are generally basic, including a room service menu that seems like a grudging afterthought.

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad...but I'd expect more for £250 per night.

My fiance and I stayed here for 4 nights in early May 2011 and had a wonderful time at this 'small' hotel.

The staff were friendly, attentive, helpful and very welcoming. No matter how much research you undertake on place online before you go, you'll never know everything that the locals do. The hotel staff were able to recommend restaurants, bar and places we must visit whilst we were in town that we just hadn't come across in all of our research.

The Rooms were quite small but in comparisson to another place we stayed in Paris, very similar. The hotel is very clean and well located being close to the Pantheon and Luxembourg Train station - which connected us to many different trains for transport throughout our stay. Luxembourg Gardens were beautiful too and well worth a visit.

A short walk from the main park of town, Notra Dame, the Lourve and more, this property treated us very well.

I chose this hotel based on the reviews. It did not disappoint. Was on business and stayed only one night (too bad for me!). The room was small, but adequate. Decorating fun and interesting. Comfortable bed, excellent sheet and pillows. My room faced the courtyard, so very quiet and I could sleep with the window open, which I love even in the dead of winter. Service was excellent. I was lucky enough to be given a tour of some of the other rooms. All were very nice. There was no work desk, which could be an issue for some, but a minor inconvenience. Thank you for free wifi- my pet peeves when traveling for business. Great neighborhood. I travel a lot and have been in many hotels in Paris. This is an excellent choice.

Highly recommend this hotel...
The 5th and 6th are my favourite locations in Paris for a quick getaway. The only problem is that St Germain can become quite touristy (I am fully aware that i am part of the problem!). Le Petit Paris is just off of St Germain about 0.5 miles up rue St Jacques. Perfect walking distance to St Germain, the Pantheon, Jardin Luxembourg, Notre Dame, Montparnasse, need I go on? But it is also far enough away to be in a quiet, relaxed location surrounded by very untouristy bistros and shops.

Staff are extremely helpful and speak very good english, just ask them where to go nearby for a good lunch and they will point you in the right direction.

Recommendation for dinner - 'Vaganende' on St Germain... walking distance from hotel. Great Belle Epoque style classic French dining.

Rooms are small, but this is Paris and that tends to be what you get... they are however very comfortable and the bed is great.

Go for it
