It’s literally the worse place I’ve stayed and I wouldn’t even call it a hotel.
The room is embarrassingly small that’s jn no condition to be used as a hotel room. The bathroom makes no sense, sink is tiny and you can barely fit into the shower room, water spills everywhere. Door is leaking. Towel are not changed and cleaned diligently on a daily basis, you have to ask them to.
No kettle, they make you come down to beg them for water. Way to go for customer experience.
Ridiculously small tables that can fit nothing, I had to put my clothes in my luggage and luggage right near my bed. It’s frankly pathetic, even a brokeass hostel is bigger than that.

They also have pins on the wall and if you careless enough and drop one and step on it like I did, you ended up having a pin inside your feet. Yes, that actually happened!

Overall the worst place I’ve stayed in my 15+ of traveling, it is a nightmare for my otherwise fabulous time in Paris.

Came to this hotel last minute as the one I was supposed to stay at was disgusting. Anyways, was sooooo happy they were so accommodating. The rooms are cozy and have everything you need (great hair dryer). A great location at a really reasonable price. Thank you!!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in late March 2025. We have no complaints about anything—the room was clean and comfortable, the staff were very friendly (and fluent in English), and breakfast was excellent (€15 for a simple yet satisfying set menu or €22 for a more complete breakfast). The hotel’s location was ideal: situated in the Latin Quarter near the Panthéon and just steps from the RER and metro stations. It’s also conveniently accessible via the RER from Charles de Gaulle Airport, just drop off at Luxembourg Station. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. A shout-out to the staff for making our stay pleasant!

The hotel itself is decent, but the service at the hotel restaurant, particularly from the waiter, was far from satisfactory. He appeared disinterested and unenthusiastic about his work. His attitude was cold and unwelcoming, and he muttered comments under his breath, making the dining experience uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place based on the service.

The location is the best thing about this hotel! It’s within 5 minutes to the Luxembourg station and the Pantheon, and 10 minutes to the river front. The front desk is very helpful as well.
However, housekeeping has been very inconsistent. Sometimes they just took away the dirty towel on the floor without replacing with new ones. The filling of the pillows also had a dirty smell, which puffed out occasionally. I would have much preferred to have one clean pillow than the four pillows with mixed cleanliness. There was also some long hairs that belonged to a different ethnicity from me in the bed the first night, which was quite an unpleasant surprise.
