    The staff was so kind and attentive. Would recommend over and over again! Thank you for an amazing stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel was in a great area. Easy to get to all the important places but in a lovely area with lots of cafes and restaurants. The bedroom was a good size for 3 adults . The staff were welcoming and happy to assist with anything we needed such as ice for the room when it was so hot. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and in a lovely room. There is nothing I didn’t like

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    we like the style of the hotel, and also the location is near with a lot of restaurant n cafe s so we dont have to walk far to find place to eat. nothing, everything as expected and similar with the photo they share in booking.com

    A wonderful boutique hotel that immediately makes you feel at home. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. The room was a good size for three people with modern, tasteful décor that felt fresh and carefully considered. The complimentary coffee and tea was a lovely touch that made it easy to unwind between exploring the city each day. Breakfast was a real highlight — a varied spread that set us up perfectly for the day ahead. We’d highly recommend opting in for it. We visited during a heatwave, and the powerful air conditioning was an absolute lifesaver on the scorching days. Unfortunately there was not a fridge in the room so we could not bring back drinks or other items to keep cold. But the hotel was able to provide ice when we requested.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The hotel itself was warm, elegant, and very comfortable. The staff, especially Eugenia was incredibly sweet, kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile, even I annoyed her with so many questions. I truly felt at home here and would happily stay again on my next trip to Paris Nothing

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Excellent location walkable to many sites, neighborhood cafes and restaurants. Hotel is new and very comfortable. The staff was attentive and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again next time. If you’re looking for a left bank hotel, this one is aces. Nothing

    This is a cute boutique, hotel in the 6th arrondissement. It is perfectly located with many cafés, restaurants, shops, and bars, walking distance nearby. Bus and Metro also closeby which makes it easy to get to all major Paris attractions. Breakfast was included and it was perfect and very convenient. The rooms were very clean the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much!

    Location was ok in terms of placement in the city but it's on a side street that feels run down and beaten up. This listing is a clear misrepresentation of the actual property. The photos and description create the impression of a legitimate 4-star hotel, but the reality is materially different. The property is extremely small and does not meet any reasonable expectation of a 4-star standard. It feels closer to a 2-star operation that has been superficially upgraded and repositioned as something it is not. Even the pricing presentation appears engineered to create the illusion of a “discounted luxury” stay. Basic elements reinforce this mismatch. The check-in area is minimal to the point of being unprofessional, and the surrounding area does not align with what is being marketed. Overall, the experience falls well below what is being advertised. I raised these concerns immediately at check-in and declined to stay. Despite this, the manager refused a refund and attempted to charge the full $698 for two nights. Bottom line: payment was demanded despite no stay and no service delivered. Proceed with caution and verify carefully before booking.

    One of the best little hotels that we went to. Everything was perfect, not a single bad thing I can say about this place and of course staff was wonderful. We will come back for sure 100%

    amazing staff, very clean and well appointed.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Although the hotel is not in the busiest part of the neighborhood, it is very well ocated near restaurants and shops and easy access to buses and metro. Room could have a small refrigerator and the central heating was a little to warm at night.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Beautifully designed room with elegant and cozy décor, excellent location very close to Vavin metro station, and a lively neighborhood full of cafés and shops. The complimentary hot chocolate machine at the reception was exceptional and a lovely daily treat. The overall atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and very memorable. Honestly, nothing significant — i can say the room size was a bit small but it wasn’t an issue for us.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    the breakfast was good-included scrambled eggs and Canadian bacon in addition to the usual items such as croissants, yogurt, cheese, jam, juice. Our room was convenient to the lobby. Also liked the specialty coffee machine in the lobby. We were given a room that was very dark. The only window was the door which was glass but had a fixed sheer drape because it was two meters from the glass door to the lobby and so anyone in the lobby could see in our room. As a result, we had to keep the draped closed, We booked the room because the website advertised light and airy rooms with a balcony but ours was dark and had no balcony. They claimed to have booked all the balcony rooms but the hotel was mostly empty.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Our choice of hotels exceeded our expectations. Location was absolutely perfect for all the destinations we wanted to visit. the staff were exceptional and continued to assist and guide us to make quality choices in experiencing Paris and the attractions it has to offer. The bed was to soft. The containers for dispensing soap and lotions should have been filled each day during the room prep.

    Best staff and best location!
