Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had air conditioning, which was a nice touch, especially on a higher floor during the summer. The view onto the street from the front room was enjoyable. While not the most luxurious compared to other places we've stayed at, it was still a cozy room to relax in.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small but very clean, the location was excellent in a vibrant neighborhood, and the service was friendly but had room for improvement. The dining options were basic but acceptable, and the facilities provided were adequate. Overall, it was a decent choice for the price.
The hotel is a cozy and clean place in Paris, offering just enough space for a comfortable stay at a reasonable rate. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming, but some improvements in layout and decoration could enhance the experience. The location is excellent, close to key attractions and well-connected to the rest of Paris. The dining options are typically French but limited in variety. Overall, a good value for money choice in Quartier Latin.
The hotel is situated in a prime location, close to the metro station and a variety of restaurants and supermarkets. The rooms, although small by Paris standards, are nice and clean, offering all the necessary amenities. The service is very nice, with friendly staff, though there may be instances where they seem overwhelmed. The location is fantastic for exploring all that Paris has to offer, with easy access to public transportation. The dining experience is worth it, providing a buffet-style meal with a good variety of options. On the downside, the room size may be a bit tight, but overall, it's a great value for the money.
The hotel is superbly located, just a couple of blocks away from the RER-B station, making it convenient for traveling to and from CDG airport. The rooms, although small, are cozy and impeccably clean. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, going out of their way to accommodate guests even after check-out. The dining experience, included in the rate, offers a French-style buffet with regional jams. The location is fantastic, near major tourist attractions and a variety of restaurants, yet pleasantly situated on a quiet street.
I had a pleasant short stay at the Cujas Pantheon. The rooms are compact but clean and well-equipped, suitable for a brief visit. The service was helpful, though a bit disorganized at times. The location is excellent, close to many attractions and with easy access to public transportation. The dining options were a bit limited, but the facilities were decent for the price.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms and the staff is very friendly. The dining options are a bit limited, but the pool area is enjoyable. The overall pricing is reasonable.
The hotel rooms were plain but very clean and cozy, larger than expected. The staff was super nice and helpful, assisting with every request. The location was safe, with many subway options and close to universities and colleges. The dining was a bit expensive for the value. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
