Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Snug Townhouse enjoys a perfect location right in the middle of town, making it easy to enjoy the street musicians by opening the windows during the day; the train station is also within walking distance. Guests appreciate the clean and modern rooms, with comfortable beds and good showers, although some found certain rooms quite small. The hotel's central location in the Latin Quarter, despite being very busy, means you're close to everything you need for a short stay.

The room had a desk. Space WAS helpful for working. The hotel provided tea, coffee, and toiletries. I found plenty of sockets available.

The room was a little too small and there wasn't enough space for anything.

snug stay

central location great storage

the location rocks it. i easily walked everywhere i wanted to go because it is so central. the staff had quick answers to every question. the rooms had great storage space.

the noise on the street was intense at night and into the early morning. i got earplugs from the front desk, but it did little to help. the doors slamming were very disturbing.

windowless room excellent tv clean bathroom small room limited storage difficult maneuvering

I stayed a few nights in a room with no windows. It was dark and quiet. The television worked very well. The bathroom was clean and tidy.

The room was small! moving around proved difficult. There was scarcely any storage space for clothes. Packing and unpacking required one of us to leave the room.
