Esprit Saint Germain

I’m confused by all the great reviews about this hotel and the reviews are a big part of the reason I chose it for my stay in Paris so I felt obligated to share my perspective. Pros: -Great areas. Saint Germain is awesome, full of great bistros, cafes, and shops -Nice people at the front desk -They have complimentary water and drinks in the lobby which is nice although doesn’t make up for all the negatives Negatives: -Room. Our room was comically small. I’ve never stayed in a smaller hotel room in my life. For the price and rave reviews, I was shocked when I walked in. Yes the decorations are nice but there wasn’t so much as a lounge chair to sit down in after a long day of exploring Paris. -Bathroom. Dear god the bathroom and especially the shower. To have a shower like this in a 5 star hotel is inexcusable. I will attach a photo because it was so funny. There were two small glass panels that weren’t sealed to the ground so water would pour underneath and soak the entire bathroom floor. And then there was a shower curtain that would blow in while you were showing and stick to your body—no way to prevent it! My husband and I are both thin and couldn’t help but laugh every time we had to take a shower because of how uncomfortable it was and the mess it created. -Breakfast was very mediocre. Very limited options, even though our rate claimed full breakfast was included, when we arrived they said it was just the cold continental options. So we ended up eating out for breakfast most days. The lobby is nicely designed but at the end of the day…you need a comfortable place to sleep and bath, period. And for the price? This totally missed the mark

Excellent service and attention to detail. When I needed assistance the front desk staff would happily provide it. I stayed for 9 nights and, except for the tiny bathroom in my small room the last night, I would definitely return.

Nice and ex friendly staff! Excellent breakfast Well equipped rooms. Location is perfect The entry-category rooms are quite small in size so if you need space, be sure to choose wisely. Extra plus for the two spacious libraries/lounges. Very comfortable! Longing to get back!

A small hotel with very attentive staff. The front desk staff were particularly helpful in helping me manage in Paris. They quickly addressed my special requests. The included breakfast was also well staffed, with custom orders welcome. While the rooms are on the small side, they were well appointed with everything one could need. The office supply kit in the closet wasn't needed, but I'll remember for next time.

From the moment we booked our reservation, we knew this was a special hotel! The attention to detail to each space at this property (rooms, lounge, breakfast room), was apparent right away. But, the best part of our stay at Hotel Esprit St Germain were the people staffing this property! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our visit was exceptional. We can’t say enough about them!

Wonderful hotel in the heart of Paris, walking distance to museums and more restaurants/cafe's than anyone could visit. Gracious and accommodating staff. Comfortable quiet room, nicely decorated with plenty of space. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful boutique hotel. Friendly/helpful staff- definitely recommend. The hotel has coffee, tea, water, soda etc and snacks available all times of the day and big night free of charge. Will 100% be visiting again in the future!!!

Excellent staff. Very nice accommodations. Rooms are small but very nicely appointed. Great common areas with lots of complimentary champagne, chips and other beverages. Fireplace room feels like a cozy home environment. A definite must in terms of hotels.

This hotel is exquisite. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re home. The rooms are spacious, not your typical “matchbox” in Paris, and tastefully decorated with a slight splash of color. Great showers and lovely Dyptique bath products. The hotel feels like a residence - very intimate with a fire going in the living room on chilly nights! The staff is impeccable. I had a great massage as well. Their laundry service is good and you should see the box they return it in! It’s in a great location too! By far the top boutique hotel on the left bank, if not all of Paris!
