Excellent place to stay in Paris

Super merci Thomas pour son professionnalisme

Enjoyable stay. Perfect location near food shops and groceries
Small but made it very cosy. Nice touches and features. Great trip

We stayed 4 nights during Easter weekend. Booked it based on past reviews and our affinity for SoPi area. Have to say all the reviews are on point. It’s a small hotel but charming. Rooms are “cozy” like most Parisian boutiques. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location is amazing. Heart of SoPi and walking distance to it all. Our flight to AMS was canceled and had to stay an extra night. Since they were not busy that night they were able to accommodate us in a bigger room. Go for the bigger rooms if there’s not too much of rate difference but nonetheless five star stay all around.

I stayed here with my wife and had a nice stay. Unfortunately the room we picked was much smaller then anticipated (one of the ‘Parisian Roof’ rooms). It says that it was 26sqm, but usable space was much less due to the design of the building. That’s ok, as we are essentially in the roof, but some better photos to show this or a floor plan with an accurate description would help.

On another note, the weekend we stayed, Paris had hit the mid 20’s (Celsius). However, the air conditioning in the rooms is controlled centrally and does not get turned onto ‘cool’ mode until May. For the most part in winter that’s fine, however coming from a climate that doesn’t use heating much, we had to cool the room down by keeping the windows open. Again, a better description of centrally controlled heating and cooling, is a more accurate representation of what was available.

With that, the bathroom was too small. The shower was positioned in such a way that if you’re any taller then 5’ 10, you’ll have an issue trying to fit, both under the shower and also your shoulders. Yes this had a bath, but I personally don’t use them, so found this very difficult.

One of the most annoying aspects of being on the top floor was that the elevator doesn’t go all the way up. Coming from the other side of the world, we had heavy suitcases, so it’d have been nice to know that we need to carry these up the stair case before arriving. As well, because there is only 1 elevator, the staff seem to use it a fair bit, which just should not happen, as it should always be as available as possible for guest usage.
