Our original accommodations had a major plumbing problem and we were desperate to find an affordable room in Paris. Xavier to the rescue. His responses were super fast and the room was a great bargain. There was only one dimly lit photo on the listing so we didn’t quite know what to expect but we didn’t have the luxury of being choosy. We were delighted by the great central location along with everything you could need nearby including food, cafes, bars, shopping boutiques, art galleries, etc. It was also close to the metro, the Louve and Notre Dame which we were visiting. The hotel itself is a “boutique” hotel which basically seems to mean that esthetically speaking, its kind of all over the map. None of the furniture or decor really matches and it doesn’t look like a super professional hotel but we were fine with that. The staff was always friendly and super accommodating. They even helped us book a second night at a lower rate. The breakfast provided a delicious array of breads and pastries with coffee and tea. The room was very clean and well maintained. The only negative thing I can think of is that the bar across the street can become very loud until 2-3am and sometimes the street can be a bit noisy as there is lots of foot traffic and vehicles visiting the many businesses. It was a bit annoying at times hearing drinkers yell or sing loudly but we were able to sleep through it ok. All in all a great bargain, awesome location, clean, spacious room and friendly staff. Thanks for saving us Xavier!
