Great location and super friendly staff. Rooms were really clean and tastefully decorated. I read reviews that said the rooms were small but I felt they were a very reasonable size. The only issue I had was there was a lot of street noise which made sleeping hard. This came from both young students after a night of drinking but also from the hotel facilities unloading from a dock at night. I had to play a lot of white noise and let the TV run to help drown out the noise. Other than that it was a really great place, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and I’d definitely consider staying there again.

Stay here! This place is great. It's a great understated hotel if you don't need to be bougie and are trying to stay eco friendly. The staff are amazing and most spoke English which was very helpful because I only knew some key French phrases. The vibe is low key and inviting. They have breakfast and coffee and a cool shop in lobby. Worth every dime. I would have paid more! Thanks you so much!

My stay at French theory was quite delightful. I stayed for approximately 4 nights. The staff were pleasant and the space was interactive with their audio lab, concept store, work space area with an array of books! The cafe was also divine. Everything was truly thoughtfully curated — the ideal space for creative driven individuals and inspiring those to be!

We stayed here with our 2 and 7 year old for a couple nights and loved every minute of it. The location is wonderful, the coffee and food in the cafe was great, and the kids loved the projector screen in the room to watch movies on at night. We were so inspired by the hotel decor and plants that when we got home, we changed up our living space to reflect our favorite parts of the hotel.

there's a vinyl player in the room which was neat. You could cast your phone to a projector, which was nice too. Other guests in the other rooms could cast to your projector too, and they did so often, since apparently all chromecast devices they had connected to each room's projector was having the same name. Bunk beds did not seem very safe. Bathroom was clean and water had good pressure. Area is like 10-15 minutes away from Notre Dame area, and about an hour away from Tour Eiffel, so i would say the location is OK. Very walkable. Overall a unique and interesting experience.

Staying at French Theory was such a delight for a solo traveler. The accommodations were clean and affordable for what it is. The downstairs music lounge, cafe and surrounding areas down by the lobby are such a vibe and so fun to hang out at the evening when winding down from a long day of walking around Paris. Just note that the closest Metro station is a few minutes away but in a way it was nice since the surrounding area is quiet at night. Highly recommend staying here 10/10 if you are looking for a place as a solo traveler.

Beautiful stay in the effervescent Latine Quarter!
I booked French Theory for my first solo trip abroad and the hotel exceeded my expectations! The location was brilliant, in the beautiful and lively Latin Quarter and just a 20 minute walk to the Louvre and other centre sights. I’m a huge fan of Paris, this being my 4th time visiting and I could not recommend this hotel enough for anyone travelling alone or in a group. The cafe, shop and music room are stunning additions to this clean, bright and cosy hotel. I can’t wait to come back!
