  : Fantastic location. It’s near the Marais, then in 20+ minutes you’re across the river and the Isle de Louis and in the Latin Quarter. It’s parallel to a major road leading to the Place de la Bastille yet it’s quieter (except on Friday and Saturday nights). The staff were simply LOVELY. We felt very welcome. Clean, spacious (by Paris standards) room and bathroom with a little bar fridge, which was very handy (for cheese and cold drinks). Lots of natural light. The window faced the stairs leading up to the main road, and we spent a good half hour watching a huge demonstration go by, floats and chants and all.
  : The windows facing the road most definitely need much better soundproofing. It was noisy— I mean you could hear conversations from the street, not to mention people yelling or loud vehicles or ambulances. On Friday and Saturday, the noise was pretty bad and I awoke to someone yelling something on the street outside. Bring earplugs.

  : The hotel staff was quite nice.
  : In a nutshell, we were not so happy with the room. It is not terrible but definetely, not worth the amount of money it cost for what it has to offer or we were unlucky. The room we got was not so great, cold and extremly humid:- heating was not working not in the room neither in the bathroom. - the room was on the ground floor but was arranged in a way that the bathroom was at a lower level. Making it imposible to ventilate (no window, of course) and it was humid all the time! Towels would never dry after the shower and there was no heating (as mentioned before) to help in this regard.We stayed there for a whole week and it was annoying at some point to wake up with my hair moist from humidity in the room! Fun fact, we bought some books and when we woke up the next day the pages were bend because of the humidity…

  : The hotel is perfectly located in the Bastille / Marais area. Several Metro stations (and various lines) are just a few minutes away. The staff is very kind and supportive, the breakfast offers way more variety than I'm used to. Room was in very good conditions and somewhat more spacious than you may expect from hotels in Paris (superior twin room).

Very Good
