10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, cool vibe, amazing people!
Federico, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cool stay

Great hotel in a cool district, perfect for a weekend away
Richard, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central location is superb

Helpful Staff. In my mind, the best rooms are on the upper floors facing Rue Cujas .. more light and air, and potentially quiteter! This hotel is conveniently situated near Luxembourg RER (6 min walk) for rapid transit to CDG. Central location is ideal for 3-7 day visit and for guests who do not plan to spend a lot of time in the smaller rooms.

Would stay again

Lovely hotel for a solo traveler

The hotel staff were incredibly warm and welcoming and the room was comfy enough. I will say that the bathroom had some water issues - no matter how well I closed the shower door water would end up all over the floor after (perhaps the sealant has a leak) and the sink is far too small to wash your face in without getting water everywhere as well. Otherwise, it was a very comfortable stay, especially for a solo traveler.

Lovely and modern

Very cozy and cute hotel with books and art displayed everywhere. Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff!
Yulia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cool and discrete in Quartier Latin

Super convenient. Pleasant room facing the street. Fast, friendly, unfussy service. Nice vibe. As the name implies, the aesthetic is ”conceptual” (sparse, hard surfaces, black, white, mirrors), which also unfortunately means yoga mat but no shoehorn, but by and large it is done with intelligence, humour and little to cringe over. Nice to work from.
Johan, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everyone at the front desk was really kind and helpful. It was s short walk from the train station and about a 15 minute walk from Notre-Dame. The neighborhood was fantastic and plenty of restaurants near by.
Asia, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms may be small, this is central Paris after all but the hotel is lovely. Very convenient to Metro/RER and walkable to many restaurants.
Patricia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location. The room was a bit old and in a need of revamp. The whole property has only one lift which is extremely slow
