French Theory have a caring staff and are able to converse in English and French. The breakfasts are tasty before another day of touring and there is a small outdoor patio if you prefer to eat outdoors. Ask for a quiet facing room as street worker noise in the wee hours did occur. Leaving the building and turning right you are metres away from St. Michel shopping, Metro and bus service, cafes, take away meals, banks and the Monoprix has everything from food to clothes. You are walking distance to the Pantheon by turning left out the door and up the gentle hill. The Luxembourg Gardens are a simple left once on St Michel and up the hill. What a relaxing place to chill, stroll or have a picnic. The Notre Dame is a simple 10 minute stroll turning right and going straight down St Michel. The Emily in Paris tour begins a few blocks up from the Pantheon and also has some delicious cafes around it. The Latin Quarter is a treasure and The French Theory can answer any questions you might have to make your stay enjoyable.

Liked: Staff & service
The location is great and the staff were lovely. The common area is hip and trendy along with some of the decor in the room. However we were very disappointed in the condition of the room. Ripped bed sheets, dirty floors, and the bathroom with no ventilation had the whole hotel room smelling strongly of mildew.

C'est magnifique

Service was wonderful. All the employees were cheerful and kind and helpful. Breakfast and lunch are delicious. The location is convenient and also safe and close to great restaurants. The room is small but was sparkling clean and had great windows that could be opened for great ventilation. Honestly couldn't have had a better experience at French Theory in Paris.

Cool Hotel

Loved French Theory- great location , cool vibe and very professional, friendly staff. It’s the quirkiest, coolest hotel I’ve stayed in, in Paris. Vinyl and a record player in the room, a projector and screen and curated books. Loved staying here and will return later this year - fully recommend . Very clean and just super cool .

This place is exactly as advertised. It’s Paris and located by the Sorbonne so as the name suggests it has this hipster intellectual flavor to the decor. I didn’t mind. Most people would probably like it. Everyone was very friendly even though I speak minimal French. Great location for visiting downtown Paris. Also you can take the RER B train to and from CDG airport and then it’s just a 5 minute walk.

Last-minute save!

My wife and I found French Theory when we needed a place to stay for one night. We will definitely be back -- what a great place! Fantastic staff, comfy rooms, and a great cafe (and cool gifts)! We went back for a last coffee just before I flew out. If you need a place near the Sorbonne or the Luxembourg Gardens this one is wonderful.

Very nice 3 str hotel option with a great location. The coffee down below is a great option to start the day. We stayed at 4 beds room (2 double decs) with family, it was lovely. The only downside was the toilet bowl and the sink is way close. The sink is partially right up the bowl so you basically have to squeeze yourself in when you “mind” your business. Rather then that all was well, definitely will be back.
