I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had air conditioning, which was a nice touch, especially on a higher floor during the summer. The view onto the street from the front room was enjoyable. While not the most luxurious compared to other places we've stayed at, it was still a cozy room to relax in.

The hotel is a cozy and clean place in Paris, offering just enough space for a comfortable stay at a reasonable rate. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming, but some improvements in layout and decoration could enhance the experience. The location is excellent, close to key attractions and well-connected to the rest of Paris. The dining options are typically French but limited in variety. Overall, a good value for money choice in Quartier Latin.

The hotel is situated in a prime location, close to the metro station and a variety of restaurants and supermarkets. The rooms, although small by Paris standards, are nice and clean, offering all the necessary amenities. The service is very nice, with friendly staff, though there may be instances where they seem overwhelmed. The location is fantastic for exploring all that Paris has to offer, with easy access to public transportation. The dining experience is worth it, providing a buffet-style meal with a good variety of options. On the downside, the room size may be a bit tight, but overall, it's a great value for the money.
