Loved the location, easy access to dining and transportation and most tourist spots. Reasonably priced and clean and very friendly front desk staff. It is clean and well maintained, but it is a slightly older building. They make you drop your keys off at the front desk every time you leave the hotel which was weird, but good value for money.

Disliked: Amenities
Unfortunately there was no shower curtain, so we had to squat inside the bathtub to use the shower, which was uncomfortable and not safe. We also didn’t understand why no kettle was provided nor why no hot drinks were allowed. We could also see that our room was being used to store several office files, which posed a potential fire safety risk. Also, one of the members of staff opened our door twice without knocking beforehand.

Amazing location in a neighborhood that is both quiet yet full of great restaurants and lively nightlife. It’s charming and exactly what you need if you’re going to be out in the city all day, but no frills or amenities other then a simple clean room/bathroom and a few toiletries. They do keep your key each time you leave, but we enjoyed checking in with the staff and it adds an extra layer of safety.

Perfect location for trip to Marais and Paris.
We had a problem with a light in our bathroom. The hotel worked on the problem immediately and repaired it. Great location in the Marais but very close to the Seine and Left Bank. Would also like to say the staff was great, from the owner on down to the very pleasant maids.

Will not come back
The room was pretty outdated and tiny, and had no noise isolation from the corridor. When you leave the hotel you must give the doorman your room key which is bizarre, and to get it back you only say your room number. No ID required. So basically anyone can come in and say "room X" and get your key. Also to get in and out of the hotel you need the doorman to unlock the front door for you. So we were stuck inside while our taxi was waiting outside while the doorman disappeared for a few minutes. WiFi is unstable (when it exists). Only 2 electricity sockets in the room, both next to the floor (and none close to the beds). We asked for additional soap, and were refused "because this is only a 3 star hotel so you can only get 1 soap".

Amazing Location
The location of the hotel is perfect for everything we wanted to do and see. The hotel is cute and just what I would expect in Paris. The room needed a little work and I know they are in the process of some updates. Rooms were getting new mattresses while we were there. Room service was surprising, being from the US, hotels are not offering room service yet. The staff were great, very patient with us and the fact we do not speak French was never an issue.

It’s a nice hotel, with an attractive lobby, in a great location. Multiple restaurant and shopping options are easily walkable within the neighborhood. And it’s close to the central metro line that runs past the Lourve, Place de Concorde, and the Champs Elysee. My only concern are the number of hotel rules that are very visible and findable such as no food or drink are allowed in the rooms, no hand laundry, no guests, and no coffee makers, etc. Despite this dogs are allowed to run around the lobby unleashed if not brought by a hotel guest. None of these are terrible but it simply feels restrictive.

The staff is wonderfull and very friendly. They make you feel looked after. This was my second time! The location is excellent, as it's near a major metro line, and close to a major train station. Although it's in a prime area, the street is quiet at night. The room is small, but they make the most of the space. Very clean!

Ideal hotel in the beautiful Marais
The hotel is in an amazing location in the beautiful, vibrant, quaint Marais; very convenient for the Metro and sites/areas such as Notre Dame, the Seine, Latin Quarter, and the left bank. The room is very clean and very comfortable (small but it is central Paris). The staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

This was a wonderful hotel for the price. It is in a wonderful area, surrounded by wonderful restaurants, bakeries and shops. The room was very basic, but was clean and comfortable. We were on the 2nd floor and there was a lot of street noise, so a higher floor may be quieter. This hotel has a lift, which is convenient. The staff is very helpful, you must turn your key in whenever you leave the building. At first this seemed odd, but it ended up being so convenient as we never had to search for our keys, and the front desk man was always there. In addition to bring in our very favorite arrondissement, it was an easy walk to Notre Dame and the Louvre, and very close to public transportation, with the Hotel de Villa train station just 2 blocks away.
