Good. Free wine from hotel. You can make coffee/tea in your room. Extra pillows in room and good wifi. Metro nearby.. Bed in room and hotel overalli is a bit dated..

Horrific experience. We’re on our way to the airport and I’m still shaking. I’ve travelled extensively for 40 years and I’ve never had such a terrible experience. Upon checkout my family was loading into a taxi and I was trying to locate our two key cards to bring them to the front desk and the front desk agent comes storming out to the street and repeatedly shouts at me ‘front desk first, taxi SECOND!!!’ And refuses to understand that I am searching the belongings already placed in the taxi to find the key card he wanted. When I couldn’t find it within our stuff I went back up to the room, located and brought it back to the front desk. I dropped them both and proceeded to walk out to the taxi, I’m seated inside and he comes running out again shouting about how he is not my boyfriend, not my brother and I cannot treat him like this. I literally said nothing to him. Not single word when I dropped the keys on the desk. But now dear reader, I fully admit I saw red. This man was a complete bully, shouting at me at 6 in the morning simply because I didn’t perform check out in the order he most preferred? I had my 78 year old mother with me and my daughter and son, my daughter was now sobbing at how we were being shouted at. I stood back up and yelled right back that I was not HIS daughter, his sister and HE could not speak to me like that. He THEN decides there is a city tax I haven’t paid and he is calling the police because I am refusing to pay it. I asked how much it was. This was the first anyone was hearing of it, no one was trying to leave without paying something. He said he would not tell me unless I returned to the lobby. A small small man on his little power trip had to exert whatever shred of control he could over the situation. Would you go back inside, a woman on your own, with an irate man shouting in a language you don’t speak? Finally the taxi driver agreed to accompany me and it was $16. I put down a $20 and left. I’ve never had so much as a disagreement with an employee of a hotel or restaurant before never mind a shouting match. It couldn’t have been less appropriate or less called for. I’m appalled.. .

We had a lovely stay and the room though small was comfortable after a full day of sightseeing. The room was cosy and bare minimum. We had a comfortable stay. Very quaint old styled room. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped and nicely organised with many amenities. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of wine.. Nothing in particular. We enjoyed our stay..

A wonderful stay in a nice hotel. A wonderful few days spent in Paris. The hotel is truly lovely in a great location for us near Bastile. The staff were courteous and helpful at all times.. The room is much smaller than it seems in the photos and I would have loved a view of rooftops, but you can't get everything..

I enjoyed the quirkiness of the hotel. It is dated but this added to my experience. I'd happily stay here again... The hotel is in a great, quiet location and is close to the Bastille Metro Station. The rooms are very quaint with exposed beams and good sized bathrooms. There is a lift; it is slow and noisy (so ask for a room that is not close to the elevator shaft.) It has character and is very cute. Breakfast is an add on but there wasn't a huge choice (although it was sufficient.). .

Exceptional. Location, very close to Bastille Small room but that's Paris. Bed and linen were good. Very hot in the room (Heater was set at the max) Rooms are not really sound proof. Could hear the neighbours laughing.

A good business hotel. A good business hotel for a couple of nights. Ok rooms, nice bed. The hotel is very centrally located near Metro. Alot of shops, cafe´s and restaurants nearby. The hotel is very cozy, especially the breakfast restaurant in the basement, even though the typical French breakfast is nothing to write home about. The hotel is located on a quiet side street, so it is peaceful and quiet.. .
