Lonely Planet Review
This brighter-than-bright 31-room boutique hotel, with its emphasis on sunbursts and bold colours, particularly orange and yellow, is just this side of kitsch. But it makes for a different Paris experience and fits in with its surroundings very well indeed.
The hotel bills itself as a 'veritable ode to the sun' and there's no doubt that all those primary colours and clean lines will put guests in a good mood; even the key holders are bold chunks of red, orange, yellow, blue and green plastic. Guestrooms are of a decent size and most of the doubles have a choice of tub or shower in the bathroom. La crème de la crème are room Nos 2 and 3, a triple and a double entered from the hotel's charming leafy terraced courtyard, where breakfast is served in fine weather. The hotel is air-conditioned throughout.
