    Only the bed width- please see my previous comment

    Really pleasant and helpful staff. We requested a twin room and whilst the beds were comfortable they were somewhat narrow The room was spotless and well maintained. Breakfast was good with several options including both hot and cold options.

    The fridge socket made a funny noise, but I reported it and they were grateful to know. The stairs are steep, but they made us get up, have breakfast and go out, so we didn't have to climb to the 5th floor again. There is a small lift. We didn't use it.

    The receptionist was very welcoming and knew I had requested gluten free food for breakfast. There were plenty of options. There was a possibility of cross contamination with some options, but there was a big choice so it was easy to find options that were definitely gluten free, including Gf. bread. They had soya milk, I'm not vegan (they did get a bit confused) but the vegan options would have been fresh fruit, dried fruits, nuts, bread and jam, cereal, and fruit juice. Breakfast was on offer from 7.30 till 11 am! We had a lovely little balcony so we could look out over the roof tops of Paris. The room had two comfy single beds, was plenty big enough and had a generous sized bathroom. The ground floor was lovely and cosy, but spacious. Tea, coffee, and lemon water were always available in reception, and my daughter loved the treat of the occasional sweet. They have baggage storage for your last day if needed. It was good value and in a lovely part of the 5th.

    The building is a bit tired and the lift is very small (as typical of the type of building).

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Large family room was perfect for us. Excellent location for exploring Paris. Good breakfast.

    The lift was a wee bit small, but managable.

    The hotel was a pleasant surprise: a little jewel near the Sorbonne that is easily accessible and in a great location near the Boulevard St. Germain, a few blocks to the nearest Metro station and several bus lines. The neighborhood is delightful to stroll and explore, with a variety of shops and cafés nearby, and a 10-minute walk to Boulevard St. Michel, the Musée de Cluny and the Quais of the Seine. The hotel itself is charming, the room was clean and comfortable and had a small fridge which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly, helpful and hospitable. Breakfast is available, but not included in the room price, and there is also a coffee corner in the lobby for guests. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Paris. Merci de tout!

    Great location, easy to walk or use public transport. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were offered to upgrade our room at no extra cost. I suppose it was because it was off season. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.

    Sound insulation. The air conditioner made noise periodically, I had to turn it off. At night you could hear the air conditioner in the other room.

    We received a large family room by Parisian standards.

    The lobby could use an update but it was clean with a nice area for snacks and coffee/tea available all day. We had a room with a balcony on the second floor which offered a nice view but it there was some street noise early in the mornings.

    Location is perfect! There is a wonderful bakery across the street for lunch and pastries, as well as numerous restaurants and gift shops. A quick walk to the Pantheon and the Sorbonne. 30 minute walk to Notre Dame or the Louvre. Taxis are readily available in the neighborhood . Breakfast included hot items, yogurt, cereal and pastries.

    I can't find any fault. Beware the lift as it is only big enough for either one person or a suitcase.

    The hotel is named after the eminent 19th century physiologist and is conveniently located right next to the Sorbonne university on the Left Bank. Three metro stations, the Boul' Mich and the Cluny museum are close by. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is generous. From the small balcony in our room we could see the towers of Notre Dame. Thoroughly recommended.
