carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and staff . Tiny single room and bathroom but adequate.
Susan, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was a good size, and staff are nice. Location is also excellent except there’s currently street construction going on right outside the hotel. This makes it inconvenient for being picked up by a taxi as you’ll need to walk to a side street. Once the construction is done, I think the hotel will be a popular spot. It’s close to everything and the rooms are clean and a good size for Paris.
Thea Francesca, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I am so glad that I chose French Theory as my place to stay on my trip to Paris! The hotel staff were kind and helpful. The café downstairs became my daily morning coffee and pastry spot!
