Xavier's hotel, while small, is in the perfect location by the Latin quarter. Upon my arrival, I asked for a room with a big window so that I could see the Parisian streets. The woman at the desk warned me that it might be a bit noisy, but I told her I didn't mind... it turns out by "noise" she meant live jazz played in the streets on the weekends! I left my window wide open so I could hear it, but when the window was shut it was barely audible. Don't expect an American experience here... no big continental breakfast, but lovely croissants and coffee instead! While not luxurious and high-end, this hotel had authentic Parisian charm for a great price.
