I have stayed here many times due to convenience and nothing more. The rooms are dark and gloomy - the closets need lighting. Staff are fairly friendly. Breakfast is wonderful - but then , this is Paris - home of good cooking!

I'm a female in 30's and just stayed for 4 nights with my boyfriend. I was a bit nervous having read the reviews but I have to say this hotel was quite pleasant. Undoubtedly the biggest plus is the location of the Hotel. It provides an excellent base for exploring all the usual attractions of Paris. The Madeleine area itself is particularly beautiful, with a collection of specialist shops and eating options and gardens.The Metro connection is v accessible and Lourve, Concorde, Seine,Champs-Elysees etc are all very reachable (10-15 mins)by walking. The staff were reserved but friendly and helpful when needed. The room, while compact ,was clean and the shower had heat and pressure although was handheld from the bath. We didn't use breakfast options as too many nice cafe options in Paris to hang around, so can't comment on that aspect. Bar was just a little 'corner' point like a home bar in a nice traditional dining room area. Weaker points overall for me were overly dark atmosphere in bedroom even for French Boutique hotel and lack of ' extras' such as plug points and mirrors. In similar fashion to the room, the elevator is 'tight', but in a typically French way. It posed no problem for us 30 somethings.Plus points were location, v comfortable beds, and general atmosphere. Make no mistake, this is a typical 'boutique hotel' which may lack some of the finer modernities, however ,overall, the location, and price make it a pleasant experience and I would be happy to stay again.

We were shipped here from a sister hotel that had over booked. On arrival the staff were so helpful and friendly. Rooms a little small and basic for a 4 star, but clean and have all you need. Pics on internet very artistic!! probabley taken a while ago! Breakfast yummy, staff friendly and helpful - made the stay cosy!! Location is fantastic, all the main sites in walking distance, save a fortune on taxis!! Would stay there again. Try Magdelaine restaurant round the corner - free glass of champagne for hotel residents!!

My friend booked the room. Upon check in, I gave them my name to add as a registered guest. Unfortuneatly, it was not until the night before my departure, that I learnt that they did not have the ability to add a second name to the room, which explained why I did not recieve any of the calls I was expecting. Am baffled that they could not have told me this when I checked in. Meantime, everyday they had gladly given me the key, without any idea who I was. They said I looked like someone who should be staying there !!! Room very dark and noisey and small Questionable security Questionable cleaniness, maybe it was too dark for the room maid to see the empty dirty glasses that sat for 3 days !!! Great location, massively overpriced I
