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

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.

Otel odası küçüktü ama konforlu, temiz, herşey var. Personeller çok ilgili ve güler yüzlüler. Hatta ben şarjımı unutmuşum, Doğukan Bey aradı, kargoyla bile yollayacağını söyledi. Çok çok kibar biri. Moldovalı kız vardı, o da sağolsun yardımcı oldu bize. Kahvaltıda az çeşit olsa da ama en gerekli gıdaları koymuşlar. Hepsi de taze ve düzgündü. Een eeeeen büyük avantajı da - KONUM. Her yere yakın, ve güvenli bölgedeydi. Ne bir çöp, ne bir evsiz, ne de çok turist vardı. Ulaşım her yere UBER ile süper kolay. Yürüyerek çoğu yere gidiliyor, ki biz 8 yaş çocukla bile Louvreden otele rahatlıkla yürüdük. Şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum!

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.

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.
