Hotel berhampiran Centre Culturel Irlandais di Paris

We would definitely stay at hotel des nations st-German again staff were very friendly and helpful suggesting areas to visit and lovely restaurants to eat at. Good location we walked a lot from here and felt area was very safe.

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?

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.

關於這裡有幾點首先要説的:第一是位置絕對優越,拉丁區可美了,是個老式的巴黎街區,步行能到市區和各個地方,光這一點就值得來住了,先不管酒店怎麼樣。第二,酒店裡有不同的區域,基本上分為兩個單獨的4層建築,中間是個庭院。我覺得貌似這兩棟建築有好壞之分,反正我們住的是好樓。第三,白天酒店閉門,如果是冬天或者生病了的話就挺麻煩的,但是畢竟對我們來説還不成問題。 我們預訂了5晚的雙人間,帶着自己的床具。 房間:非常非常小,有洗手池。很具有巴黎特色。有個很小的落地窗俯瞰庭院,如果不是我們的行李都快要放不下了我是真沒意識到屋裡有多小。 安保問題衹能説基本,每天服務員都會來“清潔”,不管你喜不喜歡（我懷疑所謂的“清潔”可能衹是讓房間通通風而已,因為這種老式建築可能會發潮之類的?）。不太確定,不過這種時候你可能會丟一些小物件（零錢之類的）,因此一定要隨身攜帶自己的物品,或者鎖起來,因為即使閉門時也會有人進來。 床:很基本,但是挺舒服的。我們帶着自己的床具,但是幾晚之後還是花錢買了一套（錢不多）,也還可以,就是乾淨程度讓我很擔心。 浴室:一般,我不太想多説了。很基本（我標準已經很低了,我家裡的浴室是室外的）。冬天我可不敢用這裏的浴室,淋浴的水不熱（總是冰冷冰冷的）,那個小巧的落地窗貌似也關不嚴。 我們住時淋浴壞掉了（不過我們用備用水洗的,還挺足的）。廁所和浴室在不同的樓層,廁所也是很基本。要自己帶衞生紙,因為他們自己的動不動就用光了,還有帶上自己的洗手液。 如果這個酒店的檔次再降低一些,浴室的乾淨程度和安全質量就真的是致命要害了。其他方面還挺好的。 服務員:很優秀。都會説英語（其他語言也會）,淡定,文明,稱職,友好,總會坐下來和客人聊天,看上去他們大多都是當地大學生。他們絕對是酒店的亮點,很少是那種瘋狂聚會的野孩子,都傾向於談論文學政治之類的,真的很好。 另外他們還很熱心幫你預訂出租車和巴士之類的。 設施:付費電話機壞掉了。無網上網很貴（如果你法語足夠好能登陸的話就去找個能無網上網的公園吧）。有可以自己開火做飯的小巧廚房設施。所需的大部分東西（雜貨,洗衣服務等）附近區域都有。距離市區和公交系統很近。在前台寄存貴重物品能保證安全（不太確定是不是百分百,但是比放屋裡要好得多）。 其他:早餐相當好,有麥片和烤制的食物,吐司,果汁,咖啡,茶。 白天的閉門也不是什麼不便的事情（我還以為會是呢）,不過有一天我們渾身濕透了想進屋換衣服,沒有人讓我們進去就。 我要重申的是對於這裏我印象很深刻,即使有那麼多缺點我也欣然接受。還要指出的是我沒看見也和宿舍沒有任何瓜葛,即使有的話我也不會預訂（肯定不乾淨,不安全,也不時尚）。如果你想冒險的話這裡是個安全的地方,有可愛的氣息,如果比起特色來你更注重乾淨和穩定的話,還是選別處吧。

It was an overnight stay when coming to Paris for the first time. It was important for me that the hotel was close to the center. I was completely satisfied with the location and conditions of the hotel. Pleasant interior, amenities, good and responsive staff. I can definitely recommend it to other potential overnighters who want to explore Paris.

We stayed 6 nights in mid September. Based on the staff, we would give this hotel 5 stars. They were incredibly kind and helpful. But, would give the hotel 2 stars. The hotel was overpriced for what we got. We previously requested a room with a walk in shower but upon arrival they said they were sold out and didn’t have one. I told them I sent an email and they wanted me to prove it. Then said they had gotten it but didnt read it. They did say to check the next day because a room may become available but we had unpacked and settled in. Our room was small. The safe was broken and every day we asked if it was fixed yet. The cabinet door under the coffeemaker was also broken. We had sent our laundry out early morning and it was supposed to be back same day. When we came in we were told it wasn’t back yet. Next morning they told us the laundry came back but they didn’t let us know. Please be very very careful getting in and out of the tub as the floor is MUCH lower than the inside of the tub (by almost 2 feet). The staff did send up a foot stool which was most gracious. I fell backwards out of the tub and discovered later that I had fractured my tailbone. When I told the front desk I fell they said I should be more careful and that they did offer to change our room. Didn’t have breakfast - only a coffee - but didn’t see much out unless people could possibly order from a menu. Location was good near the Gardens and the Latin Quarter. As I mentioned before, the staff was great and went out of their way mostly. In my opinion though, not worth the money we paid.

As usual, our trip to Paris was enhanced by our 10th stay at the Hotel des Grand Hommes. The staff were all helpful, kind, and courteous. It’s so nice to be remembered and to be greeted with such warmth! The room was lovely, with a generous and well- appointed bathroom. The location of the hotel allows easy walking to wonderful neighborhoods and all modes of transportation. In regards to staff, Alexandra and Manuel at the front desk, helped us with reservations to events as well as with transportation within Paris and to and from CDG. The housekeeping staff did their job well, and it was a pleasure to visit with Valerie, their manager, who makes sure all runs smoothly. We also made extensive use of their breakfasts this time. The spread they provide is generous and delicious (great eggs, ham, and bacon, pastries and bread, and fresh fruit were highlights) and the breakfast staff, especially Salim and Bamini, were also very kind and attentive to our requests. We highly recommend this hotel, and of course, we will stay there again when we next have the opportunity to travel to Paris!

I can’t possibly capture in words what a beautiful stay I had here. From the first contact confirming my reservation to the checkout was perfect! This was my first trip to Paris and they made it so special. I splurged on the panoramic view room with a balcony and it was huge! Gorgeous views of the Latin Quarter and the Pantheon! I ordered a half bottle of champagne to be waiting on my arrival but because of a misunderstood e-mail they didn’t know I confirmed the request. They quickly remedied the situation and arranged (after hours) for a beautiful set-up! The bathroom was spacious with a multi head shower and rain shower. And of course the very European towel warmer! A separate water closet with a completely automatic bidet incorporated into the toilet, including a bum dryer. It was insanely fancy. The staff was stellar. So friendly and accommodating. They even humored me when I wanted to speak French to them. I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful hotel. It’s in the perfect location on a quiet street in the middle of the Latin Quarter.

Saya ingin mengatakan bahawa kami sangat berpuas hati dengan perkhidmatan, semuanya sangat cantik, pemandangannya menakjubkan, tetapi kami mempunyai sesuatu untuk dikatakan, kami tidak begitu berpuas hati kerana kami mendapat alahan dari permaidani yang tidak kelihatan sangat bersih (memerlukan lebih banyak perhatian), tetapi pemandangannya sempurna dan perkhidmatannya hebat.
