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,

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.

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

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

From the moment we walked into the lobby we felt at home.

It is perfectly located, half an hours walk to the Sacre Coeur to the north and half an hours walk to the tuileries the river and the louvre to the south.

It’s easy to walk to many attractions from this location.

From the moment we walked in, Maison Favart felt like our own pied-à-terre.

location works well for walking in all directions and the metro is on the doorstep.

Beautiful hotel, well located for all the sights in Paris with most within a 25 minute walk.. we were upgraded to the suite on arrival (room 14) which was beautiful.

Louvre is only 15 mins walk away 

We arrived early afternoon and our room was ready.

But it’s in a location that is about a 20 min walk from the Louvre and many things.

Easy to locate and one minute walk to the metro which made travelling in Paris very easy.

30 mins walk from Gare de Nord, in fact this place is located very central to anywhere .

Walk up to Sacre Ceur or down to Notre-Dame.

We walked form the train station to the hotel, and everything we wanted to see was either in walking distance, or close to a public transport stop.

La Maison Favart is located between the 2nd and 9th ar​ron​disse​ment, a mere 15 min walk from the Louvre.

5 minutes walking to Gallerie Lafayette and so many shops and restaurants.

The location was central and we were able to walk to all the sights. Excellent!

Book the spa with the pool, sauna and massage table - great after a long day of walking.

USB ports didn't work, had to use main power source to charge mobile phones.

Upon arrival the hotel staff required our employee to provide their own credit card and charged the entire stay on their card.

But be careful of their card keys -- they tend to erase when near metro cards or cell phones.

Only issue I had was I kept having trouble with my card to gain access to the lift to bring me to my room.

I had written to the email address: H5060@accor.com to dispute the charges,

I have NEVER ONCE been asked to retrieve a room card.

For example, our key cards would not work on our second day.

The key card rarely worked and I had to walk down five flights of stairs on two occasions because the key didn’t work in the elevator.

The hotel charges €18 per head and we decided not to take it.

After speaking with a manager he then asked for my credit card as a guarantee to which i replied we were leaving hence they did not need it.

I was charged two times in my credit card and nobody gives an answer.

Regretfully, I do not know his name to get him the credit he deserved

One day's charges were deducted from our credit card instead of blocking and he kept arguing in a rude way when it was pointed out.

Only down side - housekeeping ignored "do not disturb" sign and used our equipment for charging phones.

but they put ~$50 of charges on our bill for breakfasts we did not get; they took it off once we pointed it out.

The receptionist was only interested in selling me an over-priced full breakfast and swiping my credit card (I had paid in advance four months previously).

Electricity seems to be sporadic and seemed weaker at night to charge electronics.

When I asked to speak to someone in charge, I was palmed off each time with an excuse that the manager was not there.

but the beds and bedding wee tattered not fit for a two star
After a night on a rock hard bed we advised reception and were moved to a newer room still tiny but bed was better
We had dinner vouchers for our booking but despite giving vouchers to restaurant were charged after we had left hotel and has not been advised at checkout this is devious and deceptive giving us no opportunity to dispute the charge 
I have emailed for a reversal of charge but still no response 
Not good given we are Accor club members

This is also the area close to the Luxembourg Gardens and St Sulpice and St Germain churches and where the authors of Hemmingway's time used to meet as a literary group.

but it is close to the Metro and walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and Luxembourg Gardens among other things.

Although the room was quite small for a family of 4 we were not in the room long enough for it to be a problem and all the benefits to this hotel more than made up for this.

The rooms were small, AC was a challenge.

the rooms are too small for a international traveller with luggage it is evan difficult to walk inside the room.

The room was too small and they didn’t clean the room well when we left for the day, even the towels weren’t changed, the staff weren’t helpful at all when we tried to ask them for help for a taxi!

Room much too small for a four-star hotel, there wasn't even room to open our suitcase.

The hotel is in a good location around a busy area (you just need to walk around to explore it), room was a bit small for a family of four

Then the room services and the rooms themselves are on time and very clean, so only problem is that the rooms are small.

The room was small (whey you come with three suitcases and two carry on as you are traveling from North America to ski resort and you are doing a stop over in Paris),

With 4 of us in a small room we woke up sweating the first night.

The rooms are small and the bathroom is quite small with an almost useless small bath and a separate shower.

The restaurant is really too small for the number of rooms in the hotel.

The major issue we found is that, our room was particularly small.

Like a lot of other people have commented the rooms are small and very little room to move around.

but the room itself is small (especially the door to the bathroom was from in the middle of the room and the shower room was very tiny).

When I first walked in, I loved the layout and the furniture.

just a pleasant 30 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower!The front office staff were extremely friendly and helpful with both checking in and checking out.

The hotel is a bit of a walking distance from Metro, about 8 min walk from Pasteur or Montparnasse, which is OK on a nice, sunny day.

although it is a 5-10 minute walk to the main platforms.

Once in the centre centre we walked from place to place.

Location good- we walked to Eiffel Tower with young kids .

I’ve just checked out of this hotel after 4 nights, the family room we stayed in was great, so happy that our beds and room were cleaned up for us each day, the location is great 30min walk to Eiffel Tower and 5 min walk to train station.

The hotel is 7 mins walk from two Metro stations: Pasteur (Green 6 and 12 lines) and Gaîté (light blue line 13).

You can walk to the Eiffel Tower from the hotel.

Only a five minute walk to a metro station and a train station.

It is also an easy 20 - 40 min walk to the tower from the hotel.

Short walk to the Pasteur Metro and right next to gare montparnasse.

The hotel is about a 30-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower.

The hotel was in a good area of Paris to walk to major attractions.

Great for exploring and walking around the centre of Paris, 30 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower.

Location wise it was a 42 minute walk to the Eiffel  Tower on the maps app on our phone.

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.

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.

If you want to be in St Michel and St Germain area, and also a bridge cross of 10 minute walk to  Arr 1, this is the place to stay.

Our request of a lower floor room (recovering from a knee operation) was promptly assured with a walk in shower that I truly appreciated!

Easy walk to Museum D’Orsey and Lourve.

The minute you walk in the staff made you feel welcome.

It is also a short walk from the easy subway trip from CDG airport.

We walked around on a Tuesday night at 10 pm and the streets were packed with young adults.

Notre Dame is an easy 5 minute walk (if that) and there is a Metro Station 2 minutes walk from the hotel.

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.

Very easy to get to from the airport ( the RER stop was a short walk).

3 minute walk to Notre Dame and easy 10 minute walk to the Louvre.

There is definitely a lot of noise since we were literally on top of several cafes below as well as walking tours.

Excellent location, 3 minutes walk from the RER station taking you right to the airport.

The hotel is a 2-3 minute walk from 3 different subway stations that take you anywhere in Paris you could possibly want to go.

I was staying with 2 grown sons who loved that they could walk out the door and start sightseeing!!!

10 minute walk to Notre Dame, 20 minute walk to Louvre, 20 minute metro to Arc and Champs Elyse.

A stone through from Notre Dame and short walk to the Louvre.

We like walking and found the location good for a walk to a number of tourist sites including the Eifel Tower, Notre Damme and the Louvre.

The hotel was in an excellent location, with a wide variety of cafes/ restaurants/ shops very close by and some key tourist attractions only approximately a 15 minute walk away.

Hotel Europe Saint Severin

quietness

small bathroom

Restaurant

Taxi service

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.
