The hotel and staff were lovely and the breakfast was exceptional. Would be happy to stay here again. The location was great for walking into the Latin Quarter with plenty of bars and restaurants. There was underground parking available which was a bit congested when we arrived but the staff shuffled the car around for us when needed. Fab hotel!

Room was spacious & clean. Parking area is small, so definitely bring a small car and have someone driving that’s used to tight spaces.
