"The rooms are pretty in a modest sort of way, with floral wallpaper and old-fashioned furnishings, and the welcome is homely and sincere."
Fodor's
"Distributed among a trio of three-story buildings, Madame Le Floch's rooms have a distinct grandmotherly vibe with flowery wallpaper and lace bedspreads."

"This hotel is a cluster of three small houses around a beautiful garden, where you can breakfast in good weather."
BlackBook
"Former boarding hourse with three stucco-fronted 19th century buildings and a carriage door that opens onto a long flower-lined driveway."

Start your night in the flower-filled garden with a home-poured apéro, then make your way to one of the good bars and restos in the 5th.
Afar Magazine
"One of the charms of the place is that the compound feels like an escape to a French granny’s country cottage."
