quirky typically small small spaces for higher prices than other European cities - the elevator was only just big enough for two and luggage and we were on the 6th floor - the room was uber tiny and with two big cases we had to dance around a lot to get around the room - bathroom was also super small but it all seemed to work and we had a good nights sleep - comfortable bed - staff encountered were all pleasant enough and we left too early to try the organic vegan cafe which looked like it offered nice fayre - found a nice cafe nearby for early coffee and croissant and had an excellent evening at the nearby Kimpton st Honore for an event which was fabulous. Night time tour of Paris and to see the lights at Eifel tower and visit the newly renovated Notre Dam also at night which is so impressive.

Great hotel, great location, small rooms
The hotel is very nice, but the rooms were quite small. As we were on a longer vacation and this was our first stop, we had big suitcases and there wasn’t really any room for them. The hotel itself is in a great location and has great staff; the staff was attentive and fantastic.

Overall, an ok small hotel. The beds and pillows are on the hard side. There is a brown liquid coming off the shelves, spilling on the floor of the bathroom, which made it an unsightly and untidy sight. The staff at the front desk are pleasant and helpful to a certain extent.

Arrived to a dirty room. Balls of hair and dust in the bedroom and bathroom. Hairs in the ‘clean’ folded towels. Dust all over surfaces. Very noisy. An infuriating electronic doorbell sound could be heard from my room. Paid extra for a bath but the plug didn’t actually hold the water in the bath.

The hotel is good. The rooms are irregularly shaped, so they feel smaller than they are. No AC yet, but the rooms have fans. Clean and tidy. Good location.
Staff are cheerful and helpful.

Small boutique hotel in a great location by Opera at a reasonable price.
Dont expect all the lavish trimmings and facilities of a large hotel but it’s a great place to stay and they provide all the essentials in the room.
Bed was comfortable. Room was clean.
Staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Didn’t use the conjoined little restaurant but it was packed which is a good sign!
Great value for a place to stay in Paris.

Great location very near to Opera Garnier and the subway. The hotel a/c was broken and could not sleep the first three nights. Also they did not clean our room several days. Friendly staff.

The area where the hotel is located is generally safe. It's about a 5-7 minute walk to the Galeries Lafeyette which was awesome! And from the Galeries or if you take a detour and walk to the Angelina cafe for brekkie or directly to the Shopping Street (Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré) depending on your walking speed, it's about a nice 20 minute walk which isn't really too far especially since I love the cold. You hardly break a sweat. However the space was a little tiny - lift, room walking space, the corridor to the rooms. I was the only person in the room with 3 big luggage and a carry-on and if I find it a tad small, having 2 people in the room may be a bit of an inconvenience. But it is what it is cause space is like a commodity in Paris. So I can't complain as it was a generally very nice boutique hotel. Clean and relatively safe. You have a cafe in the hotel building called Wild & The Moon. They are vegan cafe so for the vegans, here's a good option. I didn't get to try their teas or cakes which looked really good but I did get a bottle of juice which was really awesome.

The hotel is very well located for the Palais Garnier Opera House. It has a thriving and attractive coffee shop on the ground floor. Our first room 42 was very small indeed and with a sloping ceiling. The bathroom was tiny and the sliding door would not stay shut. We asked to move, which was pleasantly accommodated. Room 62 was still tight, but has full height ceilings. We found it surprisingly penny pinching when we were staying for 5 nights that we were only allowed two Nespresso capsules and were expected to pay for any more. We had to ask for additional toilet paper. There was no shampoo in the container on the shower wall. We had to ask for an extra towel, as there were two of us. These are all very small points, but taken together, they lowered our opinion of what could be a very nice, albeit compact, hotel. The reception staff were very helpful, but perhaps there is a need for a greater management input.

Perfect stay in Paris
Our stay was amazing. Great location in Paris to explore everything by foot with average 20-30min walks. Great hospitality and breakfast in bed. The rooms were amazing, very clean and great size. Everything we needed and staff were very accommodating. Great cafe attached too. Would really recommend.

Great location but small rooms. Cafe downstairs has coffees and other eco treats. Nearby restaurants are expensive. Other than McD and BK. Metro is close. Depending on room, quite noisy during day but ok at night. I would stay there again because of its plusses
