Perfect landing spot. Small very well designed rooms. Excellent service. Cheerful, comfortable. I've stayed in some very depressing and dingy Paris hotels in this price bracket and this place is a real find. Couldn't be better located. 5 minute walk from RER so very easy to get there from CDG. Only one thing: bathroom lighting makes makeup application very challenging. Maybe now that men are wearing makeup hotels will figure this out.

French Theory was exactly what I wanted: just enough space for me and my suitcase, a private bathroom, and walking distance from lots of sightseeing spots. Easily accessible by Metro/bus as well. Room was clean and cozy with a functional air conditioning system (a must in spring/summer). Less than a block from L’Ptit Grec creperie, where you can get the best crepes in town. I had only two complaints: 1) the shower leaks significantly across the bathroom floor. I had to mop it with a towel and ring it out several times. If you roll up one of the big towels and keep it at the base of the shower door it helps a lot. (Photo included) 2) toward the end of our stay, the building next door began construction. This isn’t French Theory’s fault, but the noise was aggressive from about 8am on. Besides that, it was perfect for our stay in Paris. Bonus points for the cafe operating 24/7, too!

Room size very small, with some quirky shelving and odd bits that weren’t convincing as decor. The bathroom was a very good size and everything worked well. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was cooked perfectly, but it did take a bit of time to get.
