Quiet (must ask for a quiet room, facing into the inner courtyard), comfortable and spotless. Reception staff were lovely, especially Janne and the breakfast lady. There is a good breakfast with a reasonable variety of items - all we required. It had everything we needed, minibar, lovely soft white fluffy towels, kettle, and an iron upon request, an elevator to upper floors. The location was chosen for its proximity to the Opera Bastille, and Gare de Lyon for an onward journey.

The room is very tiny, but OK if you planned your luggage carefully. the breakfast room is much smaller than in the booking.com photos.

Enjoyed staying here as part of a tour group on my first trip to Paris under previous ownership, who renovated it to its current incarnation, so on my long-awaited return trip, even after researching other hotels in the area online, it remained my first choice. It was good to see that not only has the current ownership maintained the property, but has improved it as well, making the most of its charm and attributes. The 12th Arrondissement, where it’s located, while being typically Parisian in its attractiveness and having a lot to offer the visitor, maintains a workaday vibe, coming across as relaxed and unassuming. Boulangerie Bo, rated one of the best in the city, is a stone’s throw away, anchoring a Belle Époque gem featured in Kathy Borrus’ 500 Buildings of Paris, the small square it sits on the beneficiary of a slew of new restaurants and eateries, adding new life to this charming neighborhood. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the available continental breakfast was a great way to start the day, with a post office, dry cleaners, laundromat, and grocery/department store Monoprix all close by.

Location and the building style

Amenities and breakfast are just basics. It is not that I didn’t like but I would encourage the hotel to make an effort regarding these.

Location and understated elegance. If you have a 7 am TGV at Gare de Lyon, this is a fine place to stay. Elegant because there's nothing obtrusive about this hotel; even its location is hard to come by unless you're looking up at the right time. There's no sign over the sidewalk; the name of the hotel is on the wall over the front door. The staff at the reception desk is correct and friendly. I wasn't able to partake of the breakfast because of my train schedule but I have no doubt that it must be very good. And the room was as elegant as any I've stayed at in Paris.

Sorry, Charlie. There was nothing I didn't like.

We made a last minute booking on d-day, and we were upgraded to a nicer room on the highest floor (5th) that included a little balcony with a nice view of the Parisian streets below. It was truly a delight. Room was clean, bed sheets were clearly of good quality, and the bed and pillows were so comfortable I slept through the whole night. Decor is quaint and cute, definitely not because the hotel is "old" but obviously they had a style in mind and went for it. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for accommodation near the Gare de Lyon or to explore the Bastille or Marais nearby.

Surprisingly spacious rooms (for Paris!), stylishly decorated and very comfortable. Very friendly front-desk staff who patiently conversed with me in French rather than immediately switching to English (rare in Paris!). We were there for my mother's 70th birthday and the staff kindly assisted with organising an ice bucket and champagne flutes to be waiting for her in her room when we arrived. Great location in a beautiful neighbourhood - just a few minutes walk from the Bastille monument and from Gare de Lyon. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. We had a great dinner in Chez Paul and enjoyed a cafe breakfast and walking around the nearby market at Pl. Aligre the following morning.

It was perfect! Simple to locate from CDG and only a short/easy walk from the station with my bags, I was immediately greeted by a very helpful and warm Veronica who checked me in and explained the Hotel’s arrangements, as well as some attributes in the surrounding area. She allowed me to check in early, and the facilities in my room were all very clean and comfortable! I had a great view of the courtyard, with little to no noise interference from the surrounding neighbourhood, which was a calm and cool area to visit, and the hotel itself had great character. Upon my return in the evening, I met Leo who was equally as kind and great to chat too, with a genuine interest in discussing Manchester and my reason for visiting Paris, which was a very heartwarming experience as travelling alone can be a quite scary and isolating. Checkout the next day was brilliant, and they allowed me to keep my bags in the hotel for the afternoon until I made my way onwards to Bordeaux. As a young woman travelling alone, I felt safe and content! Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy, quiet place to stay in Paris, and would definitely return in the future.

Fortunately, I had no problems during my stay! The lift was working, the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom was fab, and there were enough amenities for my stay. The front desk was never unnattended, which added extra security. I didn't take any breakfast here, so I can't comment on the catering.

The hairdryer was not the best, the sheets had stains.

The room was wonderful. I was treated to an upgrade on the top floor with a little larger room which was wonderful to spread out. The location was okay, about a 5-minute walk to the metro and 15 minutes to the train station. There are lots of places to eat around. Breakfast was the typical continental food with self-service coffee. I was there early, so there was no wait at all. The staff was excellent, especially the gentleman at the desk overnight. He lent me his adaptor for charging my phone when my adaptor would not work. THANK YOU!

I can not say what could be better. The hotel and staff were just as I expected.

It was spotless clean with a nice new bathroom, very comfortable bed and good quality sheets and duvet
