French Theory

The staff were very nice. Room size was fine. Bed was very uncomfortable. Shower was nice and hot with good pressure. There was no tea/coffee facilities or tissues in my room. There was a bottle of water supplied when you first arrive but this was not refilled. Quite a lot of the cable television stations were not working (both English & French), and the ones that were, stopped. Unfortunately the staff didn't know how to fix it. Location was excellent. A short walk to the Pantheon and Notre Dame. Bus stops and Metro stations close by. Also, I sent an email regarding laundry facilities, which was not answered. There is no laundry facilities at the hotel (although mentioned in amenities on Hotel.com) , however there is a laundromat about 5 min walk away. Also, a courtesy email regarding the road works out the front would have been appreciated.

I am a big fan of French theory. I like the rooms, the people, the coffee area. I highly recommend it. Location is near Luxembourg Gardens and the Sorbonne and when not under construction, the street is quiet.

Super convenient. Pleasant room facing the street. Fast, friendly, unfussy service. Nice vibe. As the name implies, the aesthetic is ”conceptual” (sparse, hard surfaces, black, white, mirrors), which also unfortunately means yoga mat but no shoehorn, but by and large it is done with intelligence, humour and little to cringe over. Nice to work from.

Booked a superior room - it was a comfortable size for a 6 night stay. Location was great for sightseeing, the hotel had a decent-sized elevator and a good cafe. The room was quiet and the queen bed was very comfortable. The room had all of the modern amenities (USB plugs, Bluetooth speaker etc) I had read some of the complaints about the bathroom and water spraying - the shower pressure is intense and the design doesn't quite keep all of the water in the tub, but it really wasn't a deal breaker for me. Just use an extra towel on the ground! Only complaint was that we had the fire alarm go off two nights in a row due to an issue with the heating system. The night staff handled it fine but some form of compensation for two nights of disrupted sleep would have been a nice touch.

French Theory is more than a hotel, really - and more of a concept, and an excellent one at that! The hotel is relatively small, but cosy, trendy, atmospheric, and incredibly inspirational for any creative soul. The café is small, but serves exquisite barista coffe and has a great kitchen as well. The small shop behind the reception has an inspirational selection of books, mags, and other nice, artsy stuff. The employees are the best; friendly, approachable, and ready to help finding new and interesting gems in the area or in Paris as such. And - there’s a music listening room in the cosy basement … next to the fully equipped recording studio! Highly recommended - also to the future me!

Super Café mit lecker Auswahl an kleinen Gerichten für Frühstück & Lunch.

loved the vibe downstair with the music studio, bookshop plants and coffee

fire Alarm was ringing 2 nights in a row. all guests had to rush out, water seeping im the room

Stayed for 4 nights. Very nice hotel, modern with a quirkiness that is endearing. Has a coffee house that opened 24/7. Staffs are helpful and friendly, speak good English. Location is perfect. Minutes away from metro, straight to Gare du Nord or to CDG airport. Many attractions within walking distance: Norte Dame, Pantheon, Luxembourg Garden, Sombone university, Louvre, not to mention many eateries hidden amongst the Parisian buildings and alleys.

Fiquei mais de uma semana neste hotel, em diferentes quartos, e posso garantir que a experiência foi muito boa. Testei tanto o quarto de casal quanto o quarto para quatro pessoas. Os quartos de casal têm um bom espaço e um banheiro pequeno, como praticamente todos os hotéis em Paris. Já o quarto quádruplo é bem amplo, porém o banheiro é realmente pequeno demais. Ainda assim, no geral, ambos são ótimos: bem decorados, camas confortáveis e um chuveiro excelente. Apenas não possuem frigobar. O hotel tem um espaço de trabalho muito bom, que me ajudou bastante no home office, além de uma cafeteria, que é bem cara, mas quebra um galho quando precisamos de algo rápido. A decoração do hotel é linda, moderna, e eles ainda têm um estúdio de música, embora eu não tenha descoberto exatamente como funciona. A localização é excelente, com cafés, supermercados e transporte público ao redor. Fica praticamente ao lado do Jardim de Luxemburgo. A equipe foi muito simpática durante toda a estadia; em um momento percebi um olhar irônico entre dois funcionários quando pedi algo, mas preferi deixar passar porque provavelmente era só um dia ruim. No geral, recomendo bastante. Ótima estadia, ótimo custo benefício para Paris e um ambiente super confortável tanto para descansar quanto para trabalhar.

Had a very short stay to beat the heat - staff were super friendly and accommodating, room was clean and blissfully cool. Amazing water pressure and cute little touches around the room. Short but sweet stay.

Le urge una renovación. El piso de las habitaciones se ve manchado y por el tipo de piso que es, no se sabe si está sucio o limpio. Habitación muy pequeña. El servicio de limpieza deja mucho que desear. Cuando llegamos había basura en la parte superior del clóset y, durante nuestra estancia, no retiraba los vasos sucios y no sabemos si en realidad limpiaban la habitación.

It locates in a convenient area. Close to Luxembourg RER station so you can get there from CDG directly. There’s a road construction going in from of the hotel but I didn’t hear any noise. Rooms are very small very typical in Paris. We got almost everything we needed in our room except hair conditioner. Tea kettle was there too. First room we stayed had a unpleasant smell like sewage or fungus in bathroom so we asked to change room and the hotel

The room was squeaky clean, the neighborhood was quiet and

Service was very good and personell friendly, however there was a very moldy smell in the room, especially in the bathroom.

Staff was friendly, room was very clean, quiet, great location. I would definitely stay here again!

The room was spotless but the air was too hot. Housekeeping staff were nice. Amenities were just right. Our checkout was quivk. Location is perfect and you can walk everywhere. Easy transportation to/from the CDG airport. I wouldcstaybherecagain.

Propre

Clean room, friendly staff and great coffee!

Room was clean and staff were nice. Only used room to sleep but felt safe travelling solo to and from the hotel in the dark. Good location and convenient for transport

Room was sizable for a boutique hotel. Loved the decor ( working record player with records in the room, as well as books ) and proximity to la Sorbonne, book stores, and all necessary shops and dining options.

French theory hotel is in a fantastic location for the RER B line and short walk to metro. We walked to the Louvre and Notre Dame and Catacombs. Felt safe always. We thought the beds were very comfortable, the A/C worked very well. Our only complaints were the rather sketchy WiFi and our shower leaked all over the place so a big puddle formed in the bathroom.

Chambre agréable mais quelques points à signaler : insonorisation insuffisante, penderie coincée entre le mur et la télé pas très solide, nécessité de réclamer une chaise pour le bureau, odeur du revêtement neuf un peu dérangeant. Sinon bonne localisation et tarif correct pour le quartier

Sehr kleines Zimmer

Great location and super friendly staff. Rooms were really clean and tastefully decorated. I read reviews that said the rooms were small but I felt they were a very reasonable size. The only issue I had was there was a lot of street noise which made sleeping hard. This came from both young students after a night of drinking but also from the hotel facilities unloading from a dock at night. I had to play a lot of white noise and let the TV run to help drown out the noise. Other than that it was a really great place, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and I’d definitely consider staying there again.

there's a vinyl player in the room which was neat. You could cast your phone to a projector, which was nice too. Other guests in the other rooms could cast to your projector too, and they did so often, since apparently all chromecast devices they had connected to each room's projector was having the same name. Bunk beds did not seem very safe. Bathroom was clean and water had good pressure. Area is like 10-15 minutes away from Notre Dame area, and about an hour away from Tour Eiffel, so i would say the location is OK. Very walkable. Overall a unique and interesting experience.

Great location, courteous staff but the facility itself needs improvement. Bathroom lighting was terrible, shower door wasn’t sealing and you flooded bathroom with every shower.

Staff were absolutely amazing. So very friendly and accommodating. FT has such a quirky vibe and it was a real treat to have a record player in the room! Thank you.

Room size was good compared to several other hotels on Paris. Noise from inner court and hallway was a bit disturbing. Made from order breakfast was tasty and location of hotel excellent.

Luminaires en très mauvais état, appliques ne fonctionnaient pas et menaçaient de tomber. Propre. Insonorisation moyenne Tres bon emplacement

Vi ventede plus en time på check in, og da vi igen spurgte om hvor lang tid, der ville gå, så svarede de yderligere 30-40 min. Så lidt mere info ville være godt til en anden gang. Fin lokation og et ok hotel

Staff was very nice. Held my bags before I checked in so I could wander. Great for a short stay.

great concept, great staff and wonderful location

Accueil bon, souriant, courtois. Sejour moyen lié a des dysfonctionnements dans la salle de bain (impossible de se doucher dans labaignoire).Signalé au matin suite a 1ere nuit, problème non resolu le soir a 20h30 a mon retour, il a fallu une heure pour me reloger dans une autre chambre, plus froide, avec bruits de ventilation

Staff was friendly, room was very clean, quiet, great location. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful hotel in a nice area. The metro station is a short walk away for access to other areas of the city or airport/train station. Clean, comfortable room and very welcoming and friendly staff.

Really lovely staff, good service. Would come again

Chambre impeccable, literie très confortable. Personnel sympathique et tres professionnel. Sejour très agréable. Merci beaucoup.

The room had two bunk beds, one of them was not well fixed tobthe wall, therefore, it was unstable. Even we asked the guy in they front desk since the first day to solve this issue, it remained the same during the 7 days we stayed there.

Great location right next to Luxembourg Gardens. So nice to walk through the Gardens and relax in the evening to people watch and eat a meal/picnic. Close to a metro station. There was construction going on next door which created some noise im the morning and throughout the day. But we went out early to explore and didn’t really sit in the room much.

Helpful Staff. In my mind, the best rooms are on the upper floors facing Rue Cujas .. more light and air, and potentially quiteter! This hotel is conveniently situated near Luxembourg RER (6 min walk) for rapid transit to CDG. Central location is ideal for 3-7 day visit and for guests who do not plan to spend a lot of time in the smaller rooms.

Clean room but small. Great location. The coffee shop in the lobby is a plus! Recommend

Emplacement idéal à 2 pas du panthéon.

I really like the vibe of this small hotel. It’s super convenient, unpretentious and friendly. You are steps away from the metro to go anywhere you want. Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, Mouffetard St, Notre Dame are all within walking distance. And there are lots of restaurants, cafes, boulangeries all around. I love this place, I’ve been there before and I will go back!

Loved my stay at French Theory. I spent 3 nights here. The staff were very nice and super helpful. The hotel was super clean and modern. It was conveniently located. I would definitely stay there again on another visit to Paris and would recommend.

Nice place to stay and close to so much.

Great location, close to airport transfer RER B Luxembourg. Very nice area with plenty of cafés and restaurants, feels safe walking home at night. Saint Germain and Latin quarters are great places to explore, many of Paris sites in walking distance, Notre Dame, Louvren, Musée d’Orsay etc. Room was just what you need and what you can expect for the price. Didn’t have breakfast included, bc I really enjoy starting the day at the local cafés. 5 € for a coffee at hotel cafe area was expensive and not the best coffee. Room was not equipped with coffee/tea maker. I also missed some arrangements like a hook or something to hang your coat, handbag etc. Overall very happy and I would book again if the price is right.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful. It’s very convenient to transit and many sites around turn. The hotel is off a pedestrian road so it’s lovely and quiet. I’ll definitely stay there again.

Breakfast area was nice with great food and lattes!!! The staff was very courteous! 10 min walking distance to Notre Dame area. Very close to a train station.

Super fint centralt beliggende hotel til god pris. Super venligt personale og god tilhørende café med lækre morgenmadsmuligheder. Ville helt klart komme igen en anden gang

Staff and service excellent. However so called wine bar offered just 2 wines by the glass of which at least one was unavailable. We were served a replacement at €9 per glass which literally undrinkable. Rather visit one of the numerous local bars or wine venues!!

Staff were super friendly. I loved the attached coffee shop!

It’s serviceable for a short stay. Rooms are tiny and although recently decorated, not very comfortable. Walls are very thin and you will hear your neighbors so bring noise canceling headphones. The restaurant/breakfast is not included and not very good. Walk a few block to find something better.

Very cozy and cute hotel with books and art displayed everywhere. Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff!

Underbart ställe till en rimlig kostnad. Mycket personligt. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal! God frukost, gott kaffe. Kan rekommenderas! Vi kommer gärna tillbaka.

Only had breakfast there once. it was quite good but it wasn't free. Very satisfied
