Of all the mid-value hotels I've stayed in, this was the worst. Besides, it charges 3-star prices for a 1-star service and stay. The fact that it is in a great location doesn't make up for the abominable desk person, lack of basic services, and condition of the rooms. Simone, the daytime desk person is very inadequate at translating web... More

The Latin Quarter is a great place to stay and this hotel is convenient to a couple of metro stops and an easy walk to the RER B to catch a train to the airport. It was a nice simple hotel, clean with excellent, very helpful staff! More

Stayed here 9 years ago and returned based on convenient location and cost but would not do so again. Room was tiny, bed uncomfortable, noise from adjacent rooms, bathroom had 'blocked drain' smell, hotel generally grubby. Breakfast OK, but staff preparing and serving did so between gathering armfuls of dirty linen. One staff member in particular extremely rude. More

Familia Hotel was a great find - we were in Paris just for a night and loved it. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we had a room with a balcony which really made the stay...the rooms are small and not luxury but have a lovely character. The location is great - you can walk to lots of... More

I wasn't expecting the Ritz but I wasn't prepared for what I got either. The hotel is a dump. Everyone giving a review here says its central, it not. It's as far from French as you can get too. The room we stayed in had ripped bed cloths, the room was dirty. Repair work had been done, but no attemt... More

We stayed there for two nights and had a great time! The staff has friendly and helpful with directions. We were able to walk to all the main tourist attractions and there were a ton of shops and restaurants around the hotel. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay a nice hotel in good location but doesn't... More

Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Great location. 5 minute walk from Notre Dame. Short walk from St. Germain Blvd. 10*15 minute walk from RER B from Charles DeGaulle airport. Louvre and Marais were very walkable. Rooms were small with dated furnishings, but very clean. Bathrooms were updated. Room 33 had great balcony overlooking Rue D'Ecole. Small rooms, but to... More
