Classified as a three star hotel. Our ratings (1 -5 stars):
Overall: 4 stars - Great value for the money. The central location and proximity to the Odeon Metro Station make it a nice option for exploring the unique sights and major boulevards in the St. Germain des Prés area. A good choice if you prefer a small, unique hotel that with modern amenities.
Location: 4 stars - Located on rue Casimir Delavigne. This tiny (very tiny) street was initially difficult to find. It does not appear on most maps included in the back of the major tour books. However, once you find it, you begin to realize how good this location actually is. (Hint: Take Rue de L'Ecole Medecine after leaving the Odeon station. Go through the rue/alley on the right with the stairs and statue and you will come out right across from the street.) 2 block walk to the Odeon mÈtro stop. 1 block walk to the Luxembourg Gardens.
Style and Decor: 4 stars - Parisian Art deco. Recently renovated in 2005. The common areas are decorated in an Art Deco style of bronzes and golds with splashes of black, reds, yellows and blues. The dark red comforters, dark wood furniture, striped wallpaper, and wall sconces in the rooms is reminiscent of an early 20th century Parisian townhouse. Each of the 57 rooms is decorated in the same style.
Staff: 3 stars - The staff was polite and efficient. Our room was ready when we arrived in the morning, so we were able to check-in immediately. The check in process was smooth. During our stay, the staff was gracious and knowledgeable.
Amenities: 4 stars – The lobby sitting room contained copies of numerous newspapers and magazines. A surprisingly hearty breakfast was served in the parlor/dining room. During warmer weather there is a wonderful little patio in the back for outdoor breakfasts. The toiletries in the bathroom were of above average quality. The rooms included a safe, hair dryer, modem jack, and cable TV. The hotel is also entirely non-smoking.
Value for Money: 4 stars - Good location, professional staff, and a good rate make this a great deal for this class of hotel in the trendy 6th.
