    Even if it is included in the price of breakfast, no juice was available. Also, too hot in the room without possibility to turn air-conditioning.

    Location is great and easy to reach from the airport

    Food is still excellent downstairs, but they did not have their usual smile on in the dining area. Maybe it was seven days of clouds. The noise from some work being done next door was a distraction one morning, but I just got up earlier the next day. Everything in the room is tight. If you lean over, make sure you don’t hit your head on a projectile.

    The location is absolutely phenomenal. Just on the edge of the 6th but in the 5th. The real bonus is the best crepes in Paris are located just across the street at Au P’Tit Grec. I’ve been going there for over 30 years. It’s very easy to get to everything from this location. And, the RER B line is just two short blocks away.

    If anything, the bed size was a bit short - It wouldn’t work for tall people.

    Beautifully renovated hotel at a fantastic location, 2mn from Pantheon. Real contemporary concept, trendy and nice. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Prices reasonable.

    This was a very nice surprise. The room was quite typical for Paris, small and cosy. The room, bathroom, the bed and sheets were very very clean. One of the few hotels where I didn't find hairs in the bathroom. I booked a single room with a single bed, so it was a little bit small, but that's my fault. I will book a double bed next time. The location is just perfect, close to the RER B for the CDG Airport.

    Could hear a good bit of noise from the surrounding rooms, toilet, shower, talking etc. so maybe not for very light sleepers

    Excellent location for exploring Paris, room was small but fine for a solo traveller, modern style in an old building, good value for money

    I'm not great with lifts and this one was a bit slow, small, and bouncy. But I'm being picky. There is a cool staircase to use and not too many floors. So it's manageable.

    Amazing location near Jardin de Luxemburg, safe neighbourhood, and close to the metro. Great for a solo traveller. Walking distance to Notre Dame. Great room with a record player, books, and so personal. Clean and good facilities. Cool music den downstairs and all the decor was amazing. Cafe downstairs with great coffee and pastries. Loved it. Highly recommend.

    The room felt a little cramped, even for one person. Also I didn't pre-book breakfast, so I can't speak to the value of that, but a cafe latte, croissant (which was stale), and orange juice (fresh squeezed) in the cafe was 16 euro; you will get a far better and cheaper experience at any one of the patisseries nearby.

    Great location in the Latin Quarter, a short walk from the RER B / Luxembourg Gardens. Clean, quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was great. Good value for the money and location.

    The room was quite small, especially for twin beds. Small rooms are expected in Paris, but there were much larger double rooms. It would be good if sometimes these larger rooms could be used for twin beds (friends sharing rather than a couple).

    The location was excellent, the hotel was stylish and the room was comfortable and well-designed. There was a lovely coffee shop which served excellent coffee and a tasty breakfast. The staff were all friendly and very helpful.

    Well, the rooms are fairly minimal in style and fixtures. You get hanging space but no drawers. But there was really nothing I’d moan about! I was comfortable.

    The location is perfect. Particularly if you like cinemas, bookshops and universities. Nice staff, great lamination on the breakfast croissant, pleasant change from more impersonal hotels. I was happy here. And you get to say your hotel is called French Theory which is kind of hilarious (it’s just a few minutes walk from the famous philosophy bookshop J. Vrin and of course the Sorbonne)!
