We stayed here for 2 nights in July as part of a 2 week trip in France and were very happy with the choice of hotel.
The rooms were small but well appointed, there is a bar, outside terrace and a lot of history attached the place. The best part however was the location – you are slap bang in the middle of the rue ile st louis and could not be better placed for seeing Paris. Latin quarter is 5-10 mins away; notre dame is 5 mins away and the street where the hotel is based has SO many shops; restaurants, cafes that you could in all honesty jsut stay on the island! The shops on the street include a good deal of speciality shops (cheese, olive oil, jewellary, local produce) and we found these more than suitable for all pressies to take home – plus a few bits of cheese and wine for ourselves ;) They also organised a special champagne breakfast with flowers for a birthday for us at short notice and booked a beautiful meal for us in the evening to celebrate at a great restaurant (la place de michel if my memory serves me well). It isnt cheap ($220 i think for a double and $159 for a single excluding breakfast) but if its a one off trip and you want a good time then this is perfect and very parisien; which makes a change from what the average hotel chains have to offer..
