Hotels in Latin Quarter, Paris

Good hotel. Solid experience. Feels like a 4 star hotel. Kind and accommodating staff. Giving me extra soft tissues as I had a cold during my stay. Nice little french balcony. Good location near metro and lots of restaurants and bars. Close to notre dame, and jardin luxembourg. Walkable pretty neighborhood(Paris 5eme) right by Sorbonne University. Would come back, hopefully without a cold next time. Only drawback, bar is seldom serviced and the selection is limited.

Once you’ve decided on staying in this area in Paris (i.e. as close to The Jardin des Plantes as possible) then any decision to stay at Hôtel Des Arènes will be driven by your budget and whether other more desirable hotels in the locality have anything available or not. My standard double bed room (41) was even smaller than I expected and I really can’t see it working for two people but for me on my own I could just about cope. The bed & bedding are quite comfortable so I always got a good night sleep but this isn’t the sort of hotel where you would want to spend anymore time indoors than is absolutely necessary. The room was in reasonably good condition and clean if not uninspiring, it has a security safe for valuables, a chair but no desk (not enough space), no kettle but there are usb charge points as well as the regular French two-pin plug sockets. The shower is extremely cramped and they provide the bare minimum of shower gel and soap so you may have to ask for more or bring your own. The room walls are really quite thin/not well soundproofed so pray for quiet neighbours! The variety of people who I saw work on the reception desk were all very friendly and helpful but not all of them speak English. You have to leave your key with them everytime you leave the hotel which does strike me as a potential security issue in so far as they never asked for verification whenever I asked for the key back. I can’t comment on the breakfast facilities because I never bothered with that at the hotel. The local area is surprisingly more pleasant than I thought it would be and if you like me you try to go jogging when on holiday than a route through the nearby Jardin des Plantes, alongside the Seine up to and around Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris and returning along the Right Bank back over Pont d'Austerlitz works really well, particularly pre-breakfast. In terms of restaurants there a number of very good options further down Rue Monge from Rue Mirbel south-west towards Fontaine Guy Lartigue and in the surrounding area. The recently opened Caluche looks very promising although I never got around to trying it this time. You’re not going to get much for this sort of price for a 3* hotel in such a relatively central location in Paris and I doubt this hotel would be top of anybody’s list of a place to stay in this locality so despite this hotels shortcomings if you’re on a budget and don’t have particularly high expectations then Hôtel Des Arènes might at least suffice for a short stay. Also if you are lucky enough to get a room at the back of the building then how many hotels are there in all of Paris that actually offer a scenic view of a place of interest right on your doorstep (the Arènes de Lutèce Roman amphitheatre in all its glory) without charging an arm & a leg for it?

There were no categorical minuses, only obvious pluses. The hotel does not provide a transfer, we took a taxi from booking. We checked in late at night - without any additional payments, as in other hotels. Great location, we were accommodated in a small but cozy room (room 46) on the 7th floor, from one window you could see Notre Dame and Sacré Coeur, and from the other the Eiffel Tower, special thanks for such views. All sights are within easy reach , from the hotel to the Tower on the Seine, an hour's walk, as well as to the Sacré-Coeur, not far from delicious bakeries (bakery is love !!!), shops, pharmacies and the metro, where you can get directly to Disneyland and Versailles. Cleaning in the room every day - take out the trash, change towels, fill the bed. Were in the winter - heating due to air conditioning and an electric battery. Soap, cups, shower gel and shampoo are provided, but there are no slippers and there is not enough curtain in the shower. At the reception there is a map of Paris, if suddenly someone needs it, a brochure with excursions, if necessary, you can ask for a corkscrew) Very beautiful elevator Thank you very much for your hospitality, I definitely recommend

There are a few things to say about this place first: First, the location is absolutely superior. The Latin Quarter is beautiful. It is an old-fashioned Paris neighborhood. You can walk to the city and various places. This alone makes it worth staying here, regardless of the hotel. How about it. Second, there are different areas in the hotel, basically two separate 4-story buildings with a courtyard in the middle. I feel like there are good and bad buildings in these two buildings. Anyway, we live in a good building. Third, the hotel is closed during the day, which would be troublesome if it's winter or if you're sick, but after all, it's not a problem for us. We booked a double room for 5 nights, bringing our own bedding. Room: very very small, with sink. Very Parisian. There was a very small floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the courtyard, and I wouldn't have realized how small the room was if it weren't for the fact that our luggage almost couldn't fit inside. The security issue can only be said to be basic. The staff will come to ”clean” it every day, whether you like it or not (I suspect that the so-called ”cleaning” may just ventilate the room, because this old building may get damp or something?) . Not sure, but you might lose some small items (change, etc.) at this time, so be sure to take your belongings with you or lock them up, because people will come in even when the door is closed. Bed: Very basic, but quite comfortable. We brought our own bedding, but after a few nights we paid for a set (not much money), which was fine, but I was worried about the cleanliness. Bathroom: Average, I don't want to say more. Very basic (I already have very low standards, my bathroom at home is outside). I wouldn't dare use the bathroom here in winter, the shower water is not hot (it's always ice cold) and the small floor-to-ceiling window doesn't seem to close properly. The shower didn't work when we stayed (but we had spare water and it was adequate). The toilet and bathroom are on different floors and the toilet is very basic. You need to bring your own toilet paper, because they often run out of it, and bring your own hand sanitizer. If the quality of this hotel is lowered, the cleanliness and safety quality of the bathroom will really be a fatal problem. In other respects it's pretty good. Waiter: Excellent. They all speak English (and other languages ​​as well), are calm, civilized, competent, and friendly, and always sit down and chat with guests, who seem to be mostly local college students. They are definitely the highlight of the hotel, few of them are wild kids that party hard, they all tend to talk about literature and politics, which is really good. In addition, they are also very helpful in booking taxis and buses for you. Facilities: The pay phone was broken. Wireless internet is expensive (if your French is good enough to log in, find a park with wireless internet). There are small kitchen facilities where you can cook your own meals. Most things you need (groceries, laundry, etc.) are available nearby. Very close to the city and public transportation system. Storing valuables at the front desk will keep them safe (not sure 100%, but much better than leaving them in the house). Others: The breakfast was quite good, with cereals and baked goods, toast, juice, coffee, and tea. Being closed during the day was not an inconvenience (I thought it would be), but one day we got soaked and wanted to go inside to change, but no one let us in. I would like to reiterate that I am very impressed with this place, even with all the shortcomings. I should also point out that I didn't see or have anything to do with the hostel, and even if it had, I wouldn't have booked it (it's certainly not clean, safe, or stylish). It's a safe place with a lovely atmosphere if you're feeling adventurous, but if you're more interested in cleanliness and stability than character, look elsewhere.

I booked this room at the very last minute. It turned out to be a great choice. It was a spur of the moment first visit to Paris. All the staff I met were very friendly. Linda at the reception spent a great deal of time providing advice and direction for my two days of exploring Paris. I booked a single room - by U.S. standards it was small! But it was very clean, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. There is a lift so at checkin/out you don't need to use the stairs with your luggage. . The narrow street in front of the hotel is full of a great variety of restaurants, bakeries, shops and bars. This hotel is very conveniently located a quick walk from the Place Monge Metro station and less than a 15 minute walk from the Luxembourg station on the RER B line - a direct route to/from CDG. Simply a great location away from the major tourist center yet all those tourist points of interest are easily accessed by Metro. I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel facilities are very new, the health environment is good, the cleaning is timely, the equipment is complete, and the breakfast is rich. The front desk is warm and the service is thoughtful. The location is impeccable, in the center of the left bank, restaurants, drugstores are dense, close to the subway station, convenient travel, and the public security is first-rate.

A stay at Hôtel Diana places you in the heart of Paris, within a 10-minute walk of Notre-Dame and Panthéon. This hotel is 0.6 mi (0.9 km) from Luxembourg Gardens and 0.6 mi (1 km) from Île Saint-Louis.Make use of convenient amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and a vending machine.Buffet breakfasts are available daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee.Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour front desk, and multilingual staff.Make yourself at home in one of the 22 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators and flat-screen televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and digital programming is available for your entertainment. Private bathrooms with bathtubs or showers feature complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Conveniences include phones, as well as safes and desks.

This hotel is on a quiet street yet only steps away from the Boulevard St. Germain and the Odeon metro stop. It has been very cleverly designed so that all rooms have balconies and are spacious enough with adequately sized and equipped bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and the water hot in the shower, though for some strange reason not in the basin. The staff were helpful and polite and we were able to leave. our luggage there on the last day without any problem.

The hotel is excellently located at the heart of the Latin Quarter, less than 50 meters from the Place de St. Michel. The hotel staff are extremely nice, funny and helpful. They offered us a room with a balcony and truly made our stay in Paris the most romantic ever. It was near the Tootbus stop, walking distance from Notre Dame, right beside the Metro and from Gare du Nord to the hotel by taxi was quite affordable. Some things maybe not so convenient was the size of the toilet and the noise from the streets below in the evening. Early morning wee hours we can hear some youths drunk and making noise below. But overall the lovely outlook of the building and its location outweighs any challenges. We highly recommend this hotel. The next time we're in Paris, we will surely return to this place.

Set your expectations: this is NOT a luxury hotel and does not try to be. It is a small, clean, safe boutique property in an awesome location on a side street in the Latin Quarter. Walkable to many sights, great restaurants and the Metro. Friendly staff. Sure the rooms are small (like most European boutique hotels), but they are clean and they are air conditioned. Sure the elevator is cramped and slow. Sure you use an old fashioned key that you leave at the front desk. Who cares? Spend your money in Paris on the food and the sightseeing -- come here to freshen up and rest comfortably after a long day. Highly recommend to travelers looking for ideal location and value.
