La chambre était trop sombre, pas assez de lumière. En plus, la carte de la porte de la chambre ne fonctionnait pas, il fallait toujours repasser par la réception pour la réactiver. Ce n’était pas agréable, quand on retourner à la chambre et devoir redescendre à la réception pour activer, parfois même 2 fois. Le petit déjeuner était assez bien, le personnel courtois.

The hotel was wonderful, delicious hot selections and ample cold choices located in a unique decor. Location was excellent & easily walkable throughout Monmarte and central areas by the river. Walking from the Arc d'Triomph to the hotel took about 45 min & we felt very safe. It was about 20 min to walk, plus lots of steps, to Sacre Coeur. Our room was nice but small & to be expected for an older hotel in Paris. The Rudyard Kipling theme & portraits/artwork gave a unique vibe. Some street noise on a Fri night but also to be expected just blocks away from the Moulin Rouge. Staff were friendly & very helpful.

The staff were amazing and very helpful! They arranged taxis for us and there was always water and some baked goods available. The breakfast was really nice and loved the atmosphere. The hotel was clean with a lot of amenities (just ask if you don't see it!) and the location was perfect for day trips using the subway or even walking. Would stay there again!

Hotel switched me to sister hotel Posy. Guaranteed beds were not provided. Checkout first night and had to find other accommodations. Hotel refused refund for remaining nights. Top that off that the Hotel was horrible- elevator didn’t work, noisy, crappy bed, dirty. After three weeks of escalating with Expedia and hotel Expedia stepped in and gave refund. Hotel staff and management absolutely intolerable. DO NOT stay here.

The property's location was ideal and the staff I encountered were very helpful and kind. The location is perfect and if you don't mind walking, you are close to most main attractions. The rooms are tiny but that was expected based on previous reviews. My biggest concern was the cleanliness of the bathroom and it's general upkeep. The tiles in the shower was fitly and the soap dispensers over the sink was broken and dirty. Finally, on Expedia, it's highlighted that there is a restaurant as well as a Bar & Lounge on site but this is incorrect, please remove and update. Thank you.
