Frommer's "The rooms come in a range of styles and shapes. Some are among the Left Bank's largest, with extras such as mirrored closets, plush carpets, and some balconies facing the courtyard." Full review
Fodor's "This exquisite hotel de charme property dates back to the 13th century as a former abbey of the Grands-Augustins and has an impressive stone courtyard and interior garden." Full review
