Many guests appreciate the charming, finely decorated rooms, some of which offer breathtaking views of the Parisian rooftops and the St-Germain-des-Prés church tower. While some rooms are compact, they often include amenities like a mini-fridge, and the bathrooms feature nice showers and tubs. The surrounding area is lively, with great restaurants and breakfast places right outside.

Charming Stay in a Prime Location!!!

prime locationquality furnishinggood spread
The location is fantastic. The building is historic and beautiful. The room included quality furnishings. The staff was attentive and friendly in the dining room. Breakfast was a good spread of meats, eggs, cereals, fruits, and yogurts with various beverages.
The room felt a little small, so there was not enough floor space to open a suitcase fully.

My room included a large comfortable bed and a clean, well-lit bathroom. It featured two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, which I really liked. The room had enough space for two people and included a mini-fridge.

i found the hotel needed improvement in a couple of key areas. the carpets had noticeable stains which detracted from the overall impression. the towels also emitted an unpleasant odor, reminiscent of cigarette smoke (this was quite off-putting).
