Beautiful hotel, great location, lovely staff
Room was a little small but still gorgeous!
Everything, rooms big and nice, bathroom beautiful, the bed was one of the probably the best ones I have slept in! Also location si great as well! All in all perfect stay!
Staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel was walking distance from the train station and just off the main road. Quiet. Walking distance into central Paris, easy. Rooms very clean and comfortable.Free afternoon tea at the hotel a bonus.Lots of local restaurants and bars.We would definitely visit again.We were a couple but there seemed to be a number of solo women travellers - I would say this area seemed very safe to wander around on your own.
Toilets were quite small for a larger person
This exquisite Parisian hotel was such a wonderful surprise. So much attention to detail by the staff in all they do - the staff are always very happy to help and make your stay the best it can be. Honestly do yourself a favour while you are in Paris in this lovely, more intimate feeling hotel
the breakfast was good-included scrambled eggs and Canadian bacon in addition to the usual items such as croissants, yogurt, cheese, jam, juice. Our room was convenient to the lobby. Also liked the specialty coffee machine in the lobby.
We were given a room that was very dark. The only window was the door which was glass but had a fixed sheer drape because it was two meters from the glass door to the lobby and so anyone in the lobby could see in our room. As a result, we had to keep the draped closed, We booked the room because the website advertised light and airy rooms with a balcony but ours was dark and had no balcony. They claimed to have booked all the balcony rooms but the hotel was mostly empty.
Our choice of hotels exceeded our expectations. Location was absolutely perfect for all the destinations we wanted to visit. the staff were exceptional and continued to assist and guide us to make quality choices in experiencing Paris and the attractions it has to offer.
The bed was to soft. The containers for dispensing soap and lotions should have been filled each day during the room prep.
Nice little hotel with charm, good restaurants around the corner and good public transport nearby. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very helpful.
The rooms could have been a bit bigger.
Lovely area with lots of restaurants. Beautiful decor. Very friendly staff. Room was very comfortable.
Nothing!
Comfy bed, lovely shower
Breakfast was only okay. Bad coffee and bad eggs
Located in a quiet area, bedrooms are clean, well thought and welcoming.
We loved the property! The staff were all so lovely and accommodating. We will definitely return.
It was beautifully finished in a narrow, renovated Parisian town house over several floors. There were just a few rooms on each floor. The decor was very nice, the bedrooms were immaculate and the breakfasts were delicious with a good choice of food and excellent coffee. Vauvin is a charming area. It’s easy to get there from the Gare du Nord by metro and an easy walk to the Jardin du Luxembourg and Île de la Cité.
Location great near restaurants & the metro for sight seeing and The Gardens
Wonderful location, adorable boutique hotel, comfy beds, friendly staff, extremely quiet at night, delicious breakfast.
Lovely hotel - spacious room, super clean, friendly and helpful staff, well-located
