Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms were quite tiny with limited space and had some issues like an unpleasant smell from the plumbing. Service was consistently friendly, especially with great recommendations from Medhi. The location is excellent, close to key landmarks in Paris. Dining was below expectations with poor quality and uncomfortable seating.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious and of a high standard, although a bit dark in certain areas. I did find the size a bit small for my liking, with some issues like the wardrobe door not opening fully upon arrival. Despite these minor inconveniences, I appreciated the effort put into maintaining cleanliness and comfort.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The location is excellent, close to many landmarks and with friendly staff. The rooms were a bit small but cozy, and the service was exceptional. However, the dining area was a bit disappointing in terms of comfort and variety of choices.
The hotel is perfectly situated, very close to Montmartre and with easy access to the city's attractions. While the rooms are small yet charming and nicely decorated, the limited space makes it inconvenient, especially for luggage. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering lovely 'teatime' and wine tasting experiences. The dining options are satisfactory but could be improved. Overall, a delightful stay with some room for enhancement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although on the small side, were cozy and functional, equipped with a Tassimo coffee machine, safe, and mini fridge. The cleanliness was impressive, even though the shower was a bit awkward. However, the street noise outside was noticeable due to the lack of soundproofing.
My stay at the hotel was overall positive. The rooms were quite tight for two people, and there was an unpleasing smell from the plumbing at times. However, I eventually got used to the room size, appreciated the good coffee machine, and enjoyed having a balcony. The wardrobe door issue was a bit inconvenient. The service was outstanding with the staff being welcoming and providing excellent recommendations. The location was excellent, within walking distance of many attractions and convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience was nice, although lacking in some comfort. Facilities were basic but adequate.
