Good all around and great location. Friendly staff, slightly loud neighborhood, but much like lower Manhattan. Sirens more frequent and louder in Paris. Small but well thought out rooms. I’d go back happily.

Close to heaven
Superb boutique hotel in just the right location, close to the Gare Montparnasse and the Métro, an historic building filled with art and transformed into a work of art itself; even the room numbers are hand painted in a style reminiscent of Picasso and Cocteau. Everything about the hotel radiates taste, charm, and refinement--that most French of aesthetic values--yet none of it is off-putting or self-conscious. We've never had a better hotel breakfast buffet, and the breakfast room and front lobby were pleasant places to hang out. The staff were delightful and helpful always, sensitive to our needs and curious about our own discoveries. And there's a lot to discover close by. The hotel is a few minutes' walk from the grand Montparnasse brasseries, and there are stunningly good small restaurants, too, the shops in the lovely Vavin neighborhood, and the Jardin de Luxembourg. There's a lot of Paris in this small area. Yes, the rooms are small, though they're not out of line for a European hotel, but the bed was wonderfully comfortable, the fixtures new and as attractive as they are efficient, and the heating/cooling system excellent once I figured it out. There is really nothing we would change; we've found our perfect Paris hotel and look forward to coming back here.

I love all of the small art details throughout the hotel - especially in the room. The location is great - two minute walk to a Metro station and just another few minutes to the park. While the room was on the smaller side, it was smartly designed and had a great view of the neighborhood. I also really appreciated the Grown Alchemist in the restroom.

Liked the location because it was in a less “touristy” area and the restaurant selection close by was excellent. Also close to metro. Great boutique hotel. Disliked that the mattress had a hollow in the center. Probably time for an upgrade.

This hotel has a superb location near the intersection of Blvd, Rapail and Montparnasse. The rooms are small, but quiet, meticulously clean, and well laid out. Front desk staff are helpful and considerate, and are fluent in both French and English (and, I suspect, some other languages). Overall this is a very well managed, pleasant. The rooms are tight but very pleasant, like the property as a whole.

I don't think that I can rate this hotel high enough ... it all starts w/ the people that are there and the folks at the desk were in a word AWESOME. Antonio, Liz and especially Louis were fantastic ... always there to answer your questions and provide their insight and just chat ... an absolute A1 crew. The location was great, quick access to 3 different metro stops, plenty of restaurants, pastry shops for a quick on the run croissant and juice pickup to start the day or a treat at the end of the day. The room while small by american standards was just fine ... queen size bed with a clean updated room and bath. I highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Paris.

Great value!
Our stay was overall fantastic! I’d highly recommend this place, certainly based on our room rate which when I saw the published rates at the front desk, was excellent. The location is awesome, down a nice quiet street, but surrounded by attractions, architecture & great food... many open really late. The only criticisms I have: - kind of a pain dealing with not having a way to get in main lobby door aside from waiting on the desk manager to let you in... on particular when you are night owls and you have to wake up a sleeping Manager. - for all the rooms, they only have 2 champagne/wine ice buckets... kinda strange - housekeeping is often gone early, so if you want to Sleep late after being up til 6AM, you might not get your room serviced. Regardless of these minor things, I’d come back here in a minute.

Dear guest , First of all i would like to thank you for leaving your review! We do have a botton outside the hotel which opnes the door but during the last ten days there has been a problem with it so we needed to fix it. Our guests are free to enter/exit the hotel at any time by pushing that botton. Our housekeeping department is working everyday until 2pm so before that we are able to clean all rooms , later that , we can provide you with fresh towells and refresh your oom. Anyway we can see that overall you had a wonderful stay and we hope to see you soon ! Best regards,

My husband and I had a great stay here over the winter holidays. The staff were really lovely and welcoming, the hotel was extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really nice and updated. We stayed in the smallest room - which is definitely small! I would recommend staying in one of their slightly larger rooms if it is in your budget. The hotel is very well located in the 6th arrondisement, just steps away from the Vavin metro, and Raspeil metro stops, with a couple of other stops being a little further away but accessible. There is a great selection of cafes in the area (go to Cafe Rotunde!), numerous places to buy your pain au chocolat. The staff are more than happy to make any recommendations or assist with any bookings if you need it. We were very happy with our 8 night stay!
