Place de la Bastille

Friendly staff, clean room

The location of this gem of a hotel in the Latin District is excellent. Near enough all the activity yet the rooms are quiet. My room was tiny but workable. I am sure the property has bigger rooms. It was well enough appointed although a chair that provides back support would be an improvement. The pool is nice but the hotel lacks a fitness room. The breakfast food was quite good with something for all diets. The hotel itself has a Bohemian vibe that grows on you after a day or two. Wifi was excellent. The staff were warm and friendly and that starts with check-in. The desk clerk sits you down in the lounge with a water or coffee and goes to check you in while you relax. A little confusing initially, but it is actually a nice service to offer. The hotel is situated very close to shops, sights and restaurants as well as ground transportation. It is a nice little hotel I will gladly use again.

Breakfast was basic, but it was ok. The beds were a little harder than I like, but clean. Rooms were cleaned daily to the highest standards. This was the best part of our stay. Toiletries were basic, but we thankfully brought our own. Quiet, safe area with easy access to restaurants and shops.
