Rough Guide "This cool boutique hotel, run by young staff and located on a fairly peaceful road, is a lesson in restrained modern design."
Frommer's "The hotel's upbeat interior revolves around prominent rectilinear lines, spartan-looking decors, and an intelligent distribution of spaces." Full review
Fodor's "Friendly service, a small fitness center, and full-service bar are nice touches, while close proximity to métro stations is another convenience appreciated by guests." Full review
Lonely Planet "The décor at ‘The General’ is fresh and fun, and the 47 rooms are beautifully furnished." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This high-design boutique hotel is surprisingly well priced considering its convenient location on a quiet side street close to the Place de la République." Full review

"Sleek pared-back rooms and a herd of photos and vintage finds are intended to feel like home at this laid-back hotel." Full review

Those in search of views should ask for top-floor rooms, many of which offer rooftop vistas down the nearby rues and boulevards.
Frommer's "Perfectly located, close to rue Mouffetard but far from the madding crowds, this is a budget hotel that doesn’t feel like one" Full review
