It is our third time in Paris - first time we stayed near Eiffel tower 2nd time near louvre. Very different pricing - but would have to say GDE is close to having it all. Our room is biggest we've had in Paris- bathroom fine - beautiful courtyard - secure- location good , although the walk back does seem to... More

This was our second time staying at Les Grandes Ecoles - the first time was about 12 years ago, before we had children. We were utterly charmed by the hotel and vowed to come back. And so finally we did, with our 2 girls, ages 8 and 10. Once again we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the quiet courtyard... More

The rooms are quite small and the bathrooms freezing cold ! we changed from a small room to a bigger one (for a family) so it was quieter. The prices are parisian : too high ! We decided to take our breakfasts elsewhere as the tray is a bit disappointing for the price. And once you've paid, you can always... More

Situated around a beautiful courtyard this charming hotel offers you a pleasant stay in Paris. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Our room on the second floor was nicely decorated with wall paper and curtains in a blue flowery pattern and the French windows added to the style. We didn't miss TV and mini-bars at all! Another advantage is... More

A great hotel - it was clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful and the breakfasts very tasty. The location was great - turning right from the gate it was 5 minutes' walk to the metro and turning left from the gate another 5 minutes to some beautiful restaurants and lovely little laneways and streets. If ever I were... More

This was a gorgeous house set in a beautiful cobblestone courtyard with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Breakfast is typically French with bread/croissant and good coffee served with a smile. Front desk staff are very helpful and always at hand. The rooms are very basic but nicely furnished in a French county style. Bathroom is basic but adequate and... More

Stayed at here for the second time and it was again great ! I wouldn't stay there in the summer since there is no AC. We stayed for 3 nights in May and were comfortable. This time we had a larger room than last time--just luck. They say they can't guarantee a certain room. We love the neighborhood and the... More

Great to come back, madam was still there! Its a lovely location, gr8 for the latin quarter, hidden away as it is within its own courtyard; its unique. Nite, we don't like modern concrete hotels which could be anywhere, in any country. Its very reasonable, rooms aren't the largest, but that wasn't an issue for us. Its clean with loads... More

It is easy with this hotel to be seduced by the photographs. It is very pretty from the outside and has a charming courtyard garden which had we being staying in the summer would have been a delight and a lovely quiet place to return to after a day in the city. As it was we were staying in the... More

My mom stays here regularly, so on a spring trip to Paris we shared a double room for a week. I loved the combination of a central location but a peaceful setting. When you walk through the courtyard doors and up the cobblestone walk it is like you've entered a quiet retreat, miles from downtown. The rooms are classic french;... More
