Charming, colorful, compact, clean (!). This is a really sexy hotel. Room 102 had deep red walls, crisp white linens on the bed, and a good-sized shower with tiny, gleaming LED bulbs set among the tiles. It's in a great Marais location and restaurants and antique shops abound. The gracious (and English-speaking) host at the front desk checked us in at about 9:00 am--we'd just arrived in Paris on the early morning train from Cosne and our room was ready (normal check-in time is around 3:00 pm)--and arranged for taxi service to CDG early the next morning. One thing to be aware of: The shower floor is finished with slick tiles. We would stay here again.
