“You like it or you don't”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel has a fantastic location in a quiet street near Rive Gauche in St. Germain des Pres and close to many highlights of Paris. It is old fashioned, but very charming with friendly staff. My room was spacious (well, for Paris hotels) en very quiet.
Ask for the discount when booking a room. They have told me that they will redecorate in the near future.
If you don't mind the 40 year old carpets and furniture, you'll love it.

I liked this hotel. Reasonable price, reasonable room and great location.

The big room w/the little courtyard & little round window from the bath (to the courtyard) - has a ghost.

Enjoy.

“History and Location excellent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

people found this review helpful

I loved the feeling of history with this hotel. i wanted to stay somewhere that felt I was staying in Paris, not just another hotel in another big city. I also liked that our room, twin beds, also had a small table and chairs, where I sat by the big open windows writing in my journal, we had a two seater couch, so visitors could join us for a red wine in then evening. the bathroom had twin sinks and a bath (whihc was great after walking Parisian streets for four or five hours). It's an old hotel so don't expect lush furnishings. We went to London and Spain for five days and they held onto our suitcases as we booked a one night return before leaving, meaning we could take overnight bags instead. The two person elevator wasn't to my liking, I climbed the stairs everyday. I'd stay here again, the room was a good size and the windows so Parisian. A fridge meant we stored our cheese and butter and could have snacks of an evening.

“Feels like a cheap motel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2009

The elevator was extremely loud. You could hear it every time it was pressed into service. The paint was peeled off of the window frame/sill, and the window did not open. The walls were paper thin. The bath tub/shower was like none I'd ever seen before. Picture a bath tub, cut in half on the diagonal with no shower curtain. I stayed one night and switched to another hotel the next day.

“Great location, not so great hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2009
3
people found this review helpful

Aside from the great location this hotel leaves a lot to be desired. The double rooms are small but relatively nice, though had a very stained carpet. Was also in a room right next to the tiny and incrediby loud lift, which i could hear clearly like a drill through the wall to my room. The single room was laughably bad, up in the attic with a very dingy carpet, tiny bed, and utterly appalling headache-inducing wallpaper with matching bed (psychadelic orange and brown print), a rickety chest of drawers and precarious looking desk. The bathroom was about the only good thing. Checked out asap and moved hotel.
