Fodor's Review:

Nearly every wall in this bargain hotel is bedecked with faux-marble and trompe-l'oeil murals. As in many old, independent Paris hotels, each room is unique, but a general 19th-century theme of Second Empire furnishings and paintings dominates, with a Montmartre cabaret theme in the new breakfast room. Wi-Fi is available in the lounge bar. About half the rooms have tiny step-out balconies that give a glimpse of Notre-Dame and the Panthéon. Room 25 has a long, around-the-corner balcony, and No. 16 is popular for its historic ceiling fresco and moldings. Repeat guests get souvenir knickknacks or T-shirts. Pros: unique Parisian decor; close to Quartier Latin sights. Cons: very busy street makes it too noisy to open windows in summer; thin walls between rooms.

Excellent location. The staff was very helpful and made us feel very comfortable. Would stay here first when we go back to Paris.
