Rough Guide "This deeply romantic four-star hotel is in a sixteenth-century building set around a deliciously hidden courtyard. At this level, it’s well worth paying the 20 percent premium."
Michelin Guide "This historic property with its hushed lounges and attractively decorated bedrooms has its own particular charm, including a breakfast room crowned by 13C vaulting."
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
