    Nothing to complain.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and I’d definitely recommend it and visit again! Perfectly located and only a few minutes from the Metro/Bus, shops, bakeries and even attractions such as Notre Dame. Rooms are quite small (as expected, normal for the city centre) but very clean and well equipped. Coffee, tea and water were free at the bar station by the reception. Everyone from the staff was very friendly and super helpful! I even received good advice on how to proceed when my camera got lost/stolen in the Metro – they cared about my issue and helped me out which is very appreciated. Amazing experience!

    It would be nice to have a coffee machine in the room but there is one in the lobby.

    The staff are incredibly welcoming and super friendly. The beds are very comfortable and the room was exceptionally clean. The coffee machine wasn't working during our stay but there is an array of wonderful cafes just on the doorstep. The location was fabulous and the area around the hotel felt very safe at night time.

    A small table by the window would have been wonderful.

    The location was superb. The room was quite large and overlooked the church and square so that I could watch the Parisans coming and going. The breakfast was delicious and the girls were very nice. Unfortunately, I came down with the flu half way through my stay. The staff was very kind and accommodating.

    As for me, the breakfast was a little bit poor. A coat hanger in the room would be a plus.

    The location was perfect for me! I liked the view and I loved this neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful (special kudos to Jed). I appreciated the honesty bar (station with free coffee, tea, and water) even if black tea was often unavailable. I was afraid of the bad smell and loud hood (how it could be in Parisian hotels) but the room smelled very good and there wasn't a loud hood. Some people wrote about a homeless person near the hotel I saw him too but he wasn't aggressive or something, and It didn't feel dangerous.

    The towel warmer was lovely, but it would be nice to be able to shut it off, as it did warm up the bathroom significantly. The room was pretty warm overall, so to be able to open the window was great.

    The location is fantastic and the breakfast is a nice amenity to have.

    1 - Noises! The ground floor flat I had was rather noisy - you can hear rumbling noises of the hotel lift, customers chatting while waiting for the lift or the coffee machine in the hall. There is also a frequent rumble coming from 'below', possibly related to the metro trains. I guess this is a known issue, as the hotel provides complimentary earplugs. If you are sensitive to noise - I do not recommend this particular room. 2 - On the day of the arrival, I phoned the hotel to ask if I could check in a bit earlier. A staff member promised to call me back with an update - it never happened.

    Location is great and the staff is very helpful (but please see a comment below). I did not have breakfast but I appreciate coffee and tea facilities, free to use 24/7. The room was tiny, but very good for a short stay.

    Little bit noisy because of the church bells just outside but we didn’t mind, they provide ear plugs if you need them.

    Great location, we had a great view and a big window looking out onto the street. The room was really clean and the decoration was nice, also there were free coffees in Reception.
