LE CRAYON ^{* * *}

I had a GREAT stay

I stayed by myself last week for 6 nights and picked a small room. I thought that the price I paid was appropriate and actually inexpensive considering the great location of the hotel.

The hotel was clean and decorated in a modern way. I also picked this hotel because there was an elevator, I travel with a huge suitcase so I really needed one. It was big enough to fit me and my 50 lbs suitcase.
As you know, rooms in Paris tend to be small. My room was clean and pretty small that if I left my suitcase opened, I wouldn't be able to move around, but I really didn't mind. I appreciated that toiletries were offered, and even more that they were from l'Occitane en Provence. I slept well on the firm mattress, the bedding and towels were pretty nice.
If you choose to get breakfast at the hotel (even though it would be much cheaper for you to pick up something at the local bakery), it's a nice and large assortment of sweet and savory food, nicely presented.
I was surprised by the lack of noise at night. Once I did hear a baby cry in another room, so maybe the walls aren't too thick, but I just turned on a noise cancelling machine. I also love that there was air conditioning and greatly enjoyed returning to a cold room after a full day outdoor.

As a solo female traveler, I was even more careful, so it was a relief for me that you could only go inside the hotel with a room key. I also appreciated the big windows, so that if there was an employee at the desk, he/she would see who walked by. There were times that there wasn't anybody at the desk, but that didn't bother me, because of the key access feature.

I already started to recommend this hotel to friends and family, and will return there in the future.

Moldy. Possible illness in hospital 8 days now| . Moldy mess. I am not sure if that is how I wound up in the hospital but I was in the ICU for four days and I've never had anything like this And I'm telling you that room Reeks of mold And they've been told that over and over and over Please read their reviews on Google Please read them I urge you to read them

This is like many small Parisian hotels. Maybe 30 rooms, decorated with fun stuff from the flea market. Americans who like big rooms won’t like this, but it’s very comfortable quiet nice amenities in the bathroom. And walking distance to Au Pied de Cochon and the Bourse. We will become regulars. Book early because good small hotels sell out fast!

Room smelled terribly due to moldy bathroom THey will deny mold. Also read about the couple who got FOOT FUNGUS... IM TALKING ABOUT LOBBY COFFEE. CHARGES.Location excellent The bed was comfortable. Room appeared clean the bedding was very clean. Due other reviews and some of the feedback from the hotel itself to those reviews I did not try to get my money back or point out the fact that it smelled as bad as it did You could not miss that smell so clearly they know they have an issue. It was also charged 1.50 Euro for the one cup of coffee that I had others mention free coffee machine and that's a big plus to me and it was a big turnoff to me to be charged for a nespresso when a three-night stay cost me $775 US dollars. Expected the room to be small as it is Paris. A+ for the location the staff was very nice I did not have much interaction with them but they were polite. HUGE Turn off on the charge for the coffee. BUT THE DEAL BREAKER IS THE MOLD THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE IN THE BATHROOM.

Great location, clean, safe, quiet, nice staff
