A very good location from Eurostar and to different metro lines. The room is a bit small for 2 single beds and we had trouble walking around the room. Very helpful staff and the room is clean. The area is also safe to walk around

I really like this hotel. Good location, clean. Staff always nice and welcoming.
Simon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central location is superb

Helpful Staff. In my mind, the best rooms are on the upper floors facing Rue Cujas .. more light and air, and potentially quiteter! This hotel is conveniently situated near Luxembourg RER (6 min walk) for rapid transit to CDG. Central location is ideal for 3-7 day visit and for guests who do not plan to spend a lot of time in the smaller rooms.

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel. Nice staff, modern clean design, comfortable beds and good enough Wifi. Located in a great area of the city. There is some construction outside the hotel (August 2025), whick created some noise in the morning. Generally speaking, I enjoyed my stay, and would reccomend others to consider this hotel for their upcoming trip.
