Guest Ratings & Reviews
If you want a cozy stay in Paris, this hotel's got you covered. The rooms may be on the smaller side, but they're surprisingly comfortable. The staff is helpful and eager to assist, a refreshing change when English is not your first language. The location is unbeatable, a stone's throw from the Champs de Mars and with access to fantastic dining options on Rue Cler. The dining experience, though not perfect, is fresh and worth a try.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room, although charming, was small and had some privacy issues. However, the quiet courtyard view made for peaceful nights. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, despite some limitations. The location was fantastic, close to the Eiffel Tower and surrounded by lovely shops and cafes. The dining was varied and delicious, although not directly on the premises.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were a bit small but facing Avenue de la Motte Picquet, and being on the third floor facing the Rue Cler, made my stay perfect. The service was the best part of this hotel, as the staff were so helpful, personable, and incredibly kind. The location was amazing, being next to Rue Cler with shops and restaurants and just a short walk to the Eiffel Tower. The dining experience was a huge disappointment, but there are great options on Rue Cler. Overall, a great value for money.
