+ The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. - This hotel has a misleading name as it was quite far from Le Marais. The rooms were incredably small, i don't think i have ever seen a smaller room.

+ We really appreciated the chocolate St Valentine medallions on our bed, the apples on our pillows and the red sqwuishy heart in the bathroom (though we still haven't worked out what we were supposed to do with it!). Staff are absolutely great - friendly

- The hot water was not working on our last stay

+ It is very good value

+ Th hotel is in the city centre. - Th room is too small and the toilet isn't clean. Breakfast should have been included.

+ It was impeccably clean and modern, with a finishing touch rarely seen in upperclas hotels - Difficult to find, slightly excentric from "the Marais"

+ Though small, my room was well designed, comfortable and immaculately clean, overlooking a quiet side street.

+ free internet and comfortable rooms - the staff was generally rude and we had to wait hours beyond the stated check in time to get our room
