The dining experience, while slightly uninspiring, offered a deal for the price with a nice buffet setup. Overall, a great place with minor room for improvement.

The hotel offers cleverly designed rooms with an eye for aesthetics. While you pay for the view of the Square below, don't expect additional space. There were some cleanliness issues as dirt leaked onto clothes. Despite this, the location near Sorbonne with plenty of bars and restaurants close by is a major plus.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were nicely kitted out with colorful decor, featuring a very comfortable bed and lovely views overlooking the central square. The service was friendly and efficient, always available when needed. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Paris, near the Metro and St Michel. The dining options were diverse, but the hot dish was underwhelming. Overall, a charming hotel with great value for money.
