    The only thing worth or note is that the rooms are exceptionally small. We had a full size suitcase with us which literally took up all the free space in the room.

    Staff were great and location is excellent. Breakfast was amazing too and definitely worth the extra charge. The late check in (11pm) was really appreciated and the hotel can store your luggage during the day too.

    Even though the rooms were air conditioned, we found sleeping under a duvet was way too hot for us. We would have preferred an upper sheet as well as the duvet.

    Location was great. We enjoyed the breakfast. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Loved the quirkiness & vibe of the hotel. Friends recommended it and we weren’t disappointed. Loved our balcony … very special.

    As expected a tiny room, but so small you couldn’t walk past the end of the bed so had to go over the bed to get to the other side of the room. Also to access the balcony you had to climb out the window which some people might find challenging. One of our coffee mugs was broken and looked glued together. It reappeared each day so not sure it was taken away to be cleaned? The shower gel was very watery so had to wash with the hand wash instead.

    Great location, great decor although a bit tired in places. We had a room with a balcony, the balcony was nice enough for morning coffee and evening wine but needed a bit of a tidy up (bird poo, faded furniture, some trash in the gutters). A few pot plants and fairy lights and it would be magical. Air conditioner was working and appreciated. Lovely clean shower room.

    We really enjoyed everything overall, but just a small point—the bathroom sink was quite small, and the water wasn’t draining properly.

    The location was great and the staff was really helpful and friendly.

    Night porter was less friendly. It was a simple miscommunication which was no problem but we felt uncomfortable as if we were a nuisance/annoyance to him. Lady and another man at the reception were very friendly.

    Nice hotel. Great beds and decor. We had a preference for twin beds. We received an email that this was not possible for the first night. Great solution was offered (a hotel next door or moving after first night to another room). Very very friendly and accomodating. Nice and complete breakfast.

    We were very happy at this hotel so there's nothing I didn't like.

    This hotel was a great base from where to explore Paris. It's very close to Blanche metro station and the lovely area of Montmartre, and less than half an hour walk to the Louvre. The family room was very quiet and comfortable, and breakfast had a nice selection of good quality products.

    The bathroom had little storage for your toiletries and the shower had a large area but where you showered was quiet small to be comfortable showering.

    The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. The hotel provide free coffee and a water filter in the lobby to get drinks. We paid for breakfast with our stay and it was nice and quiet with a range to choose from.

    The staff was wonderful from the start. Victoria was especially helpful in every way, especially with us arriving at the hotel much earlier than the check in time. She accommodate us as soon as possible and upgraded us to a room with a beautiful wrap around balcony for our 1 week stay. We are so grateful for the entire staff, keeping us safe, comfortable and allowing us to have a memorable experience! Can't wait to see you all again!
