LA DEPENDANCE, Paris

The hotel is at 20 rue Molière, a quiet street in Paris's oldest district. Pyramides metro station (line 14) is a 3-minute walk, providing direct access to Saint-Lazare, Châtelet, and Gare de Lyon. Major sights including the Louvre, Tuileries Garden, Opéra Garnier, and Rue Saint-Honoré shopping are all within 5-10 minutes on foot. Several metro lines converge nearby (7, 8, 14 at Pyramides; 1 at Palais Royal). The area is safe and lively, with numerous cafés, bistros, and Asian restaurants steps away. No on-site parking, but the Louvre public car park is an 8-minute walk.

All rooms have en-suite showers, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free toiletries. The Tiny room (140x200 cm bed) overlooks the courtyard and suits solo travellers. Small and Cozy rooms (160x200 cm) offer a choice of courtyard view for quiet or street view for natural light; the Cozy also features an office area. Roomie rooms (160x200 cm) accommodate up to 4 and can be configured for families or groups. The Junior Suite on the 6th floor (140x200 cm beds, max 4 persons) has a street view and ample daylight. Courtyard-facing rooms are notably quieter, while street-facing rooms may hear early morning traffic. Some rooms are compact; larger luggage may need careful placement. Air conditioning is provided, though a few units have been noted as less responsive during transitional seasons. Housekeeping is daily.

The coffee shop doubles as the lobby and offers espresso drinks, croissants, avocado toast, and other light fare. Breakfast (€15) is continental style with bread, pastries, juice, and hot drinks, plus a grab-and-go option. The coffee is consistently praised. Service begins at about 7:30-8:00 AM.

The hotel does not have its own restaurant or bar beyond the coffee shop.
