Still quite the talk of the town, this small boutique hotel has had a good run of publicity and for good reason.  I spent one night in room 401; a good size ‘bon chambre’ (meaning the attic room where the maid once slept).  It was airy and comfortable.  You do have to climb quite a few stairs so with heavy suitcases this could be difficult. 

The bathroom was roomy, equipped with a large bath (and strong shower head in bath which made showering difficult and washing my hair impossible).  The air conditioning was welcomed on a hot summer’s night and the quiet street ensured a good night’s sleep even with alcohol dehydration!  It wasn’t as glam as the other rooms so I was a little disappointed I was really looking forward to a little sparkle but space compensated for that.

We also booked room 4 in located on the ground floor behind reception.   It too was fine for a short stay with a bath and a good size bathroom for Paris.  Being on the first floor, two double doors blocked any noise from reception. Staff were extremely helpful with our constant demands for extra towels, drinks and room service. Being a ‘girly’ weekend it was close to perfect for this fussy lot.  Breakfast was a delight with fresh fruit and juice, yogurt, cereal and a large plunger of strong coffee; good value for the 15 euros.   Would I stay again, yes but in a room designed by Christain Lacroix Please!
