10/10 Exceptional

An excellent location and very nice breakfast as well as clean, safe place to stay.
Rachel, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is on a very safe, quiet street; close to good cafe, restaurants, RER and metro stations. 10 min walk to Notre Dame de Paris and a 25 mins walk to the Louvre. The staff at the hotel were exceptional. They were all very pleasant, polite and helpful. Our room was small with no storage for clothing, very few hangers and one coat hook. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning system worked well. Bathroom was also small but clean and housekeeping passed everyday to replenish our towels and change bedsheets if requested. We had a very nice stay.
Pina, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect landing spot. Small very well designed rooms. Excellent service. Cheerful, comfortable. I've stayed in some very depressing and dingy Paris hotels in this price bracket and this place is a real find. Couldn't be better located. 5 minute walk from RER so very easy to get there from CDG. Only one thing: bathroom lighting makes makeup application very challenging. Maybe now that men are wearing makeup hotels will figure this out.
jaye, 3-night trip

Good location, but modern style not my cup of tea

Good location, nice and friendly staff but concrete floors in a bedroom not my thing and bed was very uncomfortable

Cool Hotel

Loved French Theory- great location , cool vibe and very professional, friendly staff. It’s the quirkiest, coolest hotel I’ve stayed in, in Paris. Vinyl and a record player in the room, a projector and screen and curated books. Loved staying here and will return later this year - fully recommend . Very clean and just super cool .
Louise, 3-night trip

Matthew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved everything about this hotel.
Gabriel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is great and the staff were lovely. The common area is hip and trendy along with some of the decor in the room. However we were very disappointed in the condition of the room. Ripped bed sheets, dirty floors, and the bathroom with no ventilation had the whole hotel room smelling strongly of mildew.
