01/08/2026: We booked this hotel for one night for our arrival late into Paris from a transatlantic flight. We needed to take the TGV out of the Gare de Lyon the next morning, so we wanted something convenient to the train station. This turned out to be an excellent choice: very good location to the Gare and to the easy Metro access to the rest of Paris, and shops and restaurants within easy walking distance from the hotel. We had a small room on an upper level that had a nice bathroom and shower. The folks who were working the hotel when we arrived were very courteous, helpful and welcoming. While we didn't have dinner that night at the hotel, both the menu and the dishes that we saw being served looked truly delicious. Next morning we had breakfast at the hotel, and it was filling, tasty and a pleasant ambience. The only reason for not giving it a 5-star for the room was that we couldn't open the window even a centimeter, because there was an old bar that pigeons would come and roost on, and we didn't fancy having to deal with them in the room. I don't know if other rooms have this issue, but I suggest that the owners consider removing the roost.

10/05/2026: Good French hotel...a bit dated - but cool staff!

21/10/2026: Always a warm welcome... The waiter remembers the customers and always knows what they're going to order. As for what I've eaten there, the service has always been excellent and the food very good.

09/10/2026: The reviews don’t reflect the experience. Service was friendly and quick, but the place was grotty, with fruit flies everywhere. We paid between €70 and €80 for two starters, two mains and two beers, which simply wasn’t justified by the quality. The starters were a mixed bag. The terrine was so oversized that much of it went to waste, while the other starter, resembling a small cottage pie, was genuinely very good. The mains were another story. The shrimp risotto wasn’t a risotto at all. It was a dry, stodgy glob of what appeared to be ordinary rice, cream and saffron colouring, reduced down until everything stuck together. It tasted overwhelmingly of cream, with none of the texture you’d expect from a proper risotto. The 19-hour confit pork belly was astonishingly bland. I wonder if the kitchen knows that confit means slowly cooking in fat, not boiling in water, because that’s exactly what it tasted like. The accompanying pasta had no oil or butter, so it arrived as one large, stuck-together clump. To give credit where it’s due, the sauce served with the pork was nice. Overall, a disappointing meal at a price that doesn’t reflect the quality. It actually made me appreciate just how good my last €9 kebab was. At least that had flavour.

25/08/2026: The pain au chocolat tasted and had the texture of an industrially produced pastry, not a handcrafted one. A shame.

27/07/2026: I'm surprised by some of the comments. I've always been very well received and I've found the quality to be quite good for a local bakery.
