I wouldn't call it the fanciest or most modern hotel in Paris, but for the price, it's quite nice and in a great location.

Rooms: Both our rooms were SO QUIET!!

The only downside is that the room is facing the street and is a bit noisy; you can clearly hear cars passing by at night, so you need to wear earplugs to fall asleep.

Room condition77Split
The hotel and my room seem due for a renovation (although bathroom was renovated), but my room was clean and quiet with big windows overlooking the street and bed was comfortable.

Rooms: okay, but the carpeting is very worn.
Google, June 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
It would be great to have the entire property updated rather than just some of the rooms

Rooms are spacious compared to other hotels in the area which totally makes up for the narrow hallway with dorm-like vibes and slow elevator.
