However jam dispensers constantly empty, pancakes and waffles cold and the breakfast room itself freezing!

Negatives
Main big problem in Paris heat- no refrigerated air conditioning, they only have evaporated air conditioning.

The air con could have done with being turned up a notch in the hot weather.

We were besieged with electrical issues due to a faulty iron…twice it blew all the power points on two separate days….ultimately fixed after a couple of requests.

As regards the rest of the hotel, the service at the reception desk was poor in respect that we had explained the air conditioning issue to one of the receptionists who was going to fix the matter whilst we were out.

The website, app, and every document related to this hotel reservation indicated A/C would be available.

The air conditioning wasn't working the room was sooo hot!couldn't open windows because of noise.

The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the warm summer days in Paris, so sleeping was a bit sticky,

Stuff tells me that "AC is the same in all rooms".

The night before we left they offered us to change rooms, providing not feedback on the AC.

On the first night we arrived the air conditioning wasn't working satisfactorily, we reported this to reception and the next day they said they had changed the filter and it was (very slightly) better,

After 3 nights of waking up drenched in my own sweat and having considered all options (virus, aircon, stress, etc) I finally checked the bed and realised Novotel, a 4 star hotel, uses plastified matrass covers right under the bed sheet.

No portable heater available even I requested for one.

This could be such a good hotel if it would only do something about it's heating system!

Even so, we had only one outlet that was working in the whole unit.

For a 4 star hotel, the a/c definitely wasn't up to scratch and the breakfast was a mess - they could arrange two areas especially during high season.

The only complaint I might have was the air conditioning was not too powerful

They came to check the a/c and they said that it would not get colder.

But the worse was a fire drill that launched the alarms at 120db and where we were instructed by hotel personnel to stay in our room for several minutes.

Cons: 
in the middle of construction - loud construction noises/banging/drilling starting 10am everyday for the entire 6 days we stayed.

Negatives:
1) Currently, there are some road constructions going on, so hard to get Uber to come by.

There was some construction on the streets and some roads were closed so maybe that's the reason why the driver couldn't get any closer or maybe he didn't know the right way.

Hopefully all this construction work will be done soon and this will no longer be an issue.

Someone wrote about some metro construction, it´s all done now, and you can acces the metro-rer-station right on the front door of the hotel (exit Porte m. de Navarre).

NB, there is no place for taxi to come  near to the hotel due to the construction going on  (No problem for the noise).

The only disappointments were the slow check in and the noisy construction work outside,

The only inconvenience was getting to the hotel by taxi due to the construction work which is almost complete.

Some construction in front of the hotel associated with the Metro station,

We found out that the construction has been ongoing for about a year.

There is still construction out the front of the hotel

Only downside is that it's under construction, so taxi cannot take you to front.

The construction around the hotel, which was a bit of a bummer, will be done by September.

The location's construction problem was not so bad because we didn't have massive suitcases.

The construction (for a metro station entrance/exit) in front of the hotel is almost over and should make it even better connected with the metro lines.

The roads surrounding the hotel are under construction which makes UBER and TAXI drop offs a little difficult

Location is very central, walking distance to Louvre, Notre Dame, Metro (Les Halles) and the only issue is that because of the construction to Les Halles, taxis couldn't drop us at the hotel

but only after construction is fully completed.

The Louvre, Notre Dame, Musee D'Orsay, St. Chappelle, Luxembourg Gardens, Pantheon, and many more places.

Plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

Hotel is incredibly well located for restaurants, shops, sightseeing and transport.

So slap bang in the middle of town - and with numerous restaurants, bistros and pavement cafes in every direction.

but the garden you‘ll be eating in is without roof and very nice:)

I would like to point out that the hotel staff member Paulo was very attentive and had valuable insights about the local restaurants, especially for portuguese-speaking guests.

Very good hotel, perfect location (there is a metro station right in front of it), outstanding breakfast (really good), the staff is very friendly and helpful (specially Paulo that speaks Portuguese and helped us Brazilians with some great insights about the local restaurants).

Restaurants galore and a shopping center in the neighborhood.

If you go here which I highly recommend, please try the restaurant food.

-Great location near the metro 
- Walking distance to cafes/restaurants: just at the doorstep 
- Walking distance to the Lourve 
- Nice rooms
- Breakfast is fantastic: try it !

The best food ever Pablo recommended us alot of restaurants were very good also lots of place to visit eifel tower also good restaurant and very friendly atmosphere I will come again so as I can recommend every that can come to go.

The hotel is lovely and in and excellent location near great restaurants, shopping, and cultural sites.

The location of the hotel, a few blocks from both the Seine and the Louvre, is hip, lively, and offers numerous bistros, shops and the enormous Samaritaine department store.

Restaurant (for breakfast and dinner)  is very nice and the food excellent as well.

Especially Paolo was very kind and helpful with our baggage and recommendations for places to eat.

In the heart of the action, lots of bars and cafes nearby.

The food during the whole event was simply amazing.

Which ended up being fine since the food was so great.

Special thanks to Luca who gave us a very warm welcome and kind recommendations on restaurants which made our stay in Paris a very memorable one.

Amazing full buffet breakfast, helpful staff and set amongst beautiful cafes and restaurants.

There are wonderful restaurants and coffee shops outside the door.

Awesome location, restaurants everywhere, 5 mins to river & Metro, close to Luxembourg Gardens and Notre Dome.

Right near the St. Michel metro, near Notre Dame, St. Germain de Pres, Ile St. Loius, Luxembourg Gardens, the Marais and the Louvre.

The location was fantastic as it was a short walk to Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, and many cafes and restaurants.

Walking distance to Notre Dame and Luxembourg Gardens and very close to metro so you can get anywhere easily.

A short RER to Musee d'Orsay and Eiffel Tower, close to Luxembourg gardens and a stroll to the cafes in St Germain.

It's located in the energetic Latin Quarter, near the Notre Dame and the Luxembourg Gardens.

You are also just a short walk from the Shakespeare Book Company, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine River (and cruises), Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie, Luxembourg Gardens, the Sorbonne, the Pantheon and more.

Luxembourg Gardens are a short walk away, countless restaurants are nearby, and several metro stops are in the vicinity as well.I love exploring new places when visiting the same city twice,

Excellent location; close to metro, Notre Dame, D’Orsay, Luxembourg Gardens, many attractions and restaurants and markets nearby.

Also, because it is in the part of Paris that we love staying in, close to the river, close to Luxembourg Gardens, close to Blvd St. Germain.

This area of the city is filled with nightlife, cozy streets, restaurants and is an easy walk to Norte Dame and the Luxembourg Gardens.

If you're a light sleeper, bring a mask and earplugs - you could hear the noise of the street at night, and sirens in the distance here and there,

but comfortable, the sound proofing are not too good, also it seems to me that the house keeper was in a hurry to finish her cleaning and forgot to supply the coffee bag in few occasions

Quiet and air conditioned rooms, a bit small.

but even on the weekend it was quiet after 11PM (maybe due to less tourists in Aug).

I couldn't sleep because I heard the noise outside until dawn, and

It was noisy, dirty and the room needed attention.

Lots of noise from the street 24/7, so no possibility to sleep with open windows.

However, there was annoying buzzing noise every 90 to 120 seconds in the ceiling by bathroom.

It's an old hotel so the walls are thin and the insulation is minimal between rooms.

but there were spiderwebs on the ceiling needs be cleaned 
we stayed room 518 near by lift tooooooo much noise

but that was still ready loud all another room noise (toilet noice) could hear too easy.

Noisy both inside and outside…bring a white noise machine to block noise and it’s fine.

Situated opposite a bar and could hear the conversation outside clearly.

The walls are quite thin, and we could hear people in the next room coughing and talking.

Small streets in this area can be busy and noisy,

However, it wasn’t very well soundproofed despite the thick stone walls and we were disturbed by other guests.

There are tons of places to eat, it's almost too much choice!

Excellent location, close to points of interest, public transport and with many options to eat in the area.

It was in a very safe part of town and lots of shops and restaurants / cafes around.

Good location, transportation nearby and restaurants too.

I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Paris - you're surrounded by so many late-night and authentic food options and are nestled within walking distance of all of Paris best attractions such as the Siene River, Notre Dame, Lourve and d'Orsay Museum.

The hotel was located in a very nice area with many restaurants and good transportation nearby.

Location is fantastic for bars and restaurants.

The location is pretty much perfect, being in the heart of the cafe and restaurant section of the Latin quarter,

It is also walking distance to some good restaurant.

This hotel is within easy walking distance of Notre Dame, St Chapelle, Ile St Louis and all of the left bank churches and cafes.

The area is lively with many restaurants, cafes and shops.

There are many cafes, shops, and useful stores in the area.

Close to so many restaurants, bars, metros and landmarks.

Great places close by to grab a beer and a meal and people watch.

We loved our time here, the walkability, the location, the amount of all different kinds of foods close by - it’s a great place to stay!

Breakfast is excellent the food is very fresh and service very kind.

Most importantly the location was amazing, you are close too good food spots as well as grocery stores and the metro, and walking is a must and to get to many of the landmarks all you need too do it walk in one direction which is amazing for someone with a horrible sense of direction, staff are helpful and in reception 24/7.

While some reviewers have complained about the noise, it ended by 11 pm and it was a worthwhile tradeoff for the range of restaurants and cafes just a short walk (1-5 minutes) away.

but bathroom tiny - left door open - had to squeeze between wall and basin to get into the shower.

It is a cosy little hotel with some small rooms and a very small bathroom.

However, Extreamly small bathroom was difficult to use.

The room for two was small and the shower was transparent.

The bathroom is so small that I couldn’t close the door to shower.

No tea or coffee machine, one tiny shower gel and soap for 2 persons.

From the photos my partner and I expected a small bathroom with just enough room,

The room and bathroom were small, and a mild smell of sewage entered the room from there.

Other reviews are right, our cheap room was small and had the bathroom sink in the room separate from the shower and toilet rooms.

There was no dresser to unload clothes into so we lived out of our suit cases which we tripped over while navigating the room as it was difficult to navigate around the bed, past a little well used desk to get to the tiny little bathroom.

Very small room, tiny bathroom, strange shower set-up,

As in most of Europe, the room is small and the bathroom minuscule

Rooms and bathrooms are a little bit small and uncomfortable, furniture are old,

The room was small (as expected with most places in Paris),

but the tiny rooms were not worth the price.

We stepped into the bathroom and realized this is probably why the room was so small.

but this time our room was very small (at the front of the hotel).

Rooms can be on the small size - the building is about 700 years old, so that's understandable -

Our room was tiny compared to the price we paid.

Although my room was small (i was last-minute guest) it was perfect and had a balcony with small table and chairs.

In Paris hotel rooms are small so be ready for small rooms and you can always upgrade if your budget allows.

although there is construction across the street, that can be noticed at times.

Across the Place, there was construction of a new multi-story building, so noise was a problem between around 8am to 5pm approx.

There was construction going on, so the small square facing the hotel was quite noisy at times.

The bedroom overlooked the opera area which is sadly under construction on the lower level

One thing it was not good is the front of the hotel(^_^;)It was middle of construction

but had wished they warned us about the construction.

The nearest metro station (Richelieu Drouot) was closed for construction,

The issue that compromised our stay was the construction.

My only complaint was that there was some hideous construction going on nearby that woke everyone up at 8 am with earth shattering crashing,

It's a rare thing, so imagine how disappointing it was on our 2 night stay in Paris, one of the few times we might have actually been able to sleep past 6:30am, to be woken up at 8am sharp by loud construction.

There was some construction going on out in front of the hotel during our visit, which made for a less than spectacular building facade and entrance,

but the sidewalk is still cut up, so I suspect there may be follow-on construction at a later date.

Would have been very quiet if not for the noise of road construction -no fault of hotel!

It spoilt breakfast having a pneumatic drill about 2 foot away from you and the noise was deafening.

I loved that they kept the original ceiling wool construction and just painted to match the interior.

There was some construction noise in the morning from an adjacent building and they play music in the hallways almost 24 hours a day it seemed.

It's very close to the Louvre, the Opera, all the shopping on Hausmann and still within walking distance to Notre Dame and Luxembourg Gardens, although it's a long walk to those last 2 locations,

I had a super comfortable bed, a luxurious bath tub, impeccable & friendly service, tasty breakfast, beautiful interior decor throughout the hotel, with a fabulous location to explore Paris.

Fantastic little boutique French hotel with a great location, Louve museum 15 mins, ritz 18 mins and Eiffel Tower 45 mins all by foot plenty of restaurants around the hotel for food also

We will definitely return, hopefully soon, as the hotel is so central to everywhere we wanted to visit and close to some very good restaurants.

Location is excellent and quiet yet just minutes walk from cool bars and restaurants.

Maison Favart is in fantastic location easily walkable to the Opera and Galeries Lafayettte and so many fantastic restaurants close by.

Fifteen minutes walk down to the Louvre and many good restaurants close by.

Breakfast was straightforward with decent selection of food options.

Freddie, the Concierge, was very helpful in directing us to places to go and the best food.

And we enjoyed the breakfast she prepared for us, plus the lovely terrace where we ate.

We skipped the breakfast because there were many cafes in walking distance for a coffee and croissant.

Walking distance to many brassieres and restaurants.

They have lovely breakfast if you choose and cocktails in the after/evening.

Great recommendations and restaurant bookings by concierge Freddy.

Only a small hotel which was nice and the staff are exceptional, very helpful, they made restaurant reservations for us as the hotel does not have a restaurant for the evenings and booked taxis etc etc, really very helpful.

The staff were very helpful and gave great recommendations for dining in the local area.

They also operate an honesty bar in the evenings with a good choice of wines, beers, etc.

The concierge and reception helped us find some very special restaurants and also assisted us with routes and transport.

The concierge is great with recommendations for restaurants and car service.

Excellent hotel in a superb location 
Very helpful staff
Clean comfortable rooms 
Good facilities 
Parking near by
Great  breakfast

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will visit again
A great base for visiting Paris

Cons were that two of our rooms were quite small, the lift could be slow to arrive, and there was some kind of strong perfume in the lobby most days.

although rooms are a little small, the facilities and team are amazing.

The room was small and the balcony view was the wall of another building, so we didn’t use it.

I will say the rooms are a bit small by American standards,

As the floor space in the room is compromised by the main stairwell, we did find the shower room particularly small so perhaps ask for another room if space is an issue.

The fitness room is very basic - no hand weights, the room was on the small side and the air con wasn't up to much, so we wouldn't recommend staying there in the height of summer.

Our room was very small and definitely did not have a King size bed as advertised for all rooms.

but I we picked a small room since we were moving around town.

That being said, the room was very small, barely holding a queen side bed.

Rooms are small (typical for Paris hotels in my experience)

Here are some practical realities 
- Rooms are small.

La Maison Favart

Paid public parking nearby

Indoor pool

La Manufacture is right on the Place d'Italie, which is a very hip area with lots of good restaurants and cafes within walking distance, a short bus ride to St-Germain-des-Pres and the Luxembourg Gardens, and a one-minute walk to the Metro station.

Also enjoyed spending time & eating on Rue Mouffetard which is very close by.

updated, smoothly operated  hotel in  a quiet street, yet in walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants and cultural attractions; pleasant rooms; good beds; sparkling bath rooms; possibly one of the best hotels in Paris in this price range.

The location is walking distance to many of Paris´s lovely sites and then the local area has loads of good resturants.

The staff go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and the surrounding location  provides ample shopping and a myriad of fine restaurants.

(My preferred option, Jack's Hotel was not available.) This is the 3rd hotel I have staid in around Place d'Italie - neighborhood which is very multi-culti, with great culinary offerings (French bistro, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.)

easy to connect with Eiffel Tour , good location to do some shopping and enjoy a nice local bakery food.

The location was also great with lovely cafes and a metro station right on the doorstep.

There is many restaurants, shopping mall and a metro station a few steps away from hotel.

This is a quiet and charming hotel with lots of food options nearby.

Plus plenty of bars and restaurants just a short walk away.

Lots of eateries and bars around for a late night snack and drinks.

The area round the hotel was nice with plenty of places to eat and the Metro was very close by.

Good transportation options (bus, metro), close to Orly airport (20-30 minutes by taxi, Orly bus stop is also close by metro), and nice restaurants nearby.

+ Clean rooms
+ Stable WiFi
+ Good access to public transport
+ Several restaurants and shopping opportunities nearby
+ Very friendly and helpful reception
+ Calm during the nights

- Bathroom had a bit of smell

Nice a quiet at night despite being well placed for restaurants etc..
