Desk staff were wonderful. The hotel’s up to date with outstanding air conditioning. Layout is a little confusing at first (e.g. there are two staircases) but single elevator gets you to all floors. Area is great for shopping (stores are by the nearby opera) and the area has all sitters of very good restaurants.

Overall, a great hotel. The rooms are a little small, but none issue for my wife and I. The hotel is close to everything you would want to see in Paris. Of course, the food in the area was very good, including the breakfast buffet at the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was tucked away in an alley but it was nice and quiet. Elevator is small. Place was clean but the bench at the end of the one of the beds was a bit wobbly so we didn't allow the kids to sit on it. Staff was very good and the two that I spoke to did speak English so that was appreciated. Lots of cafes and restaurants around. Within a 4 minute was to bus tour stops. Would stay here again

My favorite hotel in Paris

This hotel is incredible, a small gem in my favorite area in Paris, just steps from the Palais Garnier. It is my no. 1 choice in Paris. The rooms are small but extremely comfortable, the staff is very attentive and it is a small hotel, just like I prefer.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was quiet, albeit rather small. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Its central location made it easy to explore the city on foot. The only downside was the rather limited breakfast options. Overall, a good choice for a stay in the city center.

great location & hotel staff, but a lot to improve

great location, very nice staff and a nice breakfast buffet. rooms are too dark, with no sun light at all (we stayed on the left side), people smoking in other rooms made it impossible to open the window. the bed is very uncomfortable (very cheap mattress). and since there is only one entrance to the hotel, you will often find yourself entering or leaving the elevator when they take out the trash!
