“This small hotel, a short walk from the Bastille, charmed me with its quiet street and proximity to the Marais. The 17th-century decor felt authentic, and I appreciated touches like the complimentary wine. It's a solid choice for those who prioritize location and character over modern amenities.”

excellent locationaccessible metropleasant staffnon-working fridgepoor cleaningmissing sugar
The location is excellent, near Saint Paul Church. I found it easy to get around the city center from this location. The staff were pleasant, a nice detail.
My fridge was not working . There was no replacement coffee or sugar for 3 days out of the 4 days I stayed. The room cleaning was barley done daily (i found it dissapointing).
