Hotel berhampiran Passion Epices, Paris

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?

We loved our stay at the charming Hotel Minerve. Cafes, restaurants, bars and more all a very short walk away. We were able to explore the Sorbonne area, Jardin de Luxembourg, and the Notre Dame area on foot. Our room was very comfortable with a modern bathroom and a comfortable bed. We found it spacious by Paris standards. The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful with suggestions for restaurants and getting around. The Metro station is a short walk. We chose not to have breakfast at the hotel, and we fell in love with La Table des Ecoles right across the street. They offer delicious baked goods, coffee, meals and cocktails! What more could you need? We would absolutely love to stay at the Minerve on a return trip to beautiful Paris.

We were guests at the hotel for 4 nights in early May, 2023. The hotel is very conveniently located near many attractions (Musée de Cluny, Panthéon, Arènes de Lutèce) and restaurants in the 5th arrondissement. Front desk personnel were very welcoming and cheerful and did not hesitate to provide us with any assistance we requested. Our hotel room was neatly cleaned and refreshed every day and the breakfast buffet was excellent! Nicole did an excellent job of keeping the breakfast area clean and ready to accommodate the customers as well as ensuring the buffet items were restocked. Thanks to all hotel staff for a job well done.

This is such a nice little place in a lively neighborhood with two subway stations and many bus stops nearby. The rooms were clean and well appointed, although there was the ”transporter' bathroom, it was well made so water didn't get all over. The breakfast room was good but it doesn't have the 'coffee machine' that is usually found in most French hotels but the coffee was still delish. The people who work here are super kind and friendly. And there is the smallest elevator ever but it worked to get the bags up to the rooms. I am hoping to stay here the next time I visit Paris and have recommended this plavce to a friend already.

I had a wonderful experience during my stay at the Gardette Park hotel. While the room was on the smaller side, which is to be expected in Central Paris, it provided ample space for me. It would also be suitable for a couple, as long as they don't have too much luggage. The bed was comfortable and impeccably clean. One of the highlights of the room was the balcony, which overlooked the beautiful trees of Gardette Park. There was a coffee maker in the room, along with a sufficient supply of capsules, tea, and a kettle. Additionally, the reception area offered a tea, coffee, and chocolate machine, which guests could use at any time. Although I didn't choose the breakfast option, there were plenty of nearby alternatives available. The quiet atmosphere at night ensured a restful sleep. The lady at the reception (she speaks English, French, and Italian very well) was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful, making my interactions with the staff a pleasant experience. The hotel's location was fantastic, with a close proximity to excellent restaurants, supermarkets, and a vibrant city (including night) life. While I didn't prioritize visiting major Paris attractions during this particular trip, they were only 30 minutes away. For those arriving from the airport (I personally used Orly and departed from CDG), the nearest metro station, Richard Lenoir, was a convenient 10-minute walk. However, if you have a substantial amount of luggage to transport, there are bus or Uber options to minimize the walking distance. Overall, my stay at the Gardette Park hotel was delightful, and I highly recommend it.

清潔でおしゃれでとても良いホテルでしたが、バスタブが無いのが残念でした。4日間の滞在中、フロントで希望を伝えて、その日のうちに部屋を変えてくれるということだったんてすが、担当の方が変わると引き継ぎもなかったようで叶わず。。バスタブが欲しくて選んでいたので、残念です。 預け荷物も、コインロッカーで3€かかりました。荷物を預けるのにお金のかかるホテルは初めてでした。。

There is something about this hotel that takes you back to times past. Loved the winding staircase, the grafitti on the walls. We stayed in the urban room, which was minimalist, with concrete pipe sections for some of the furniture, street style paintings on the walls, ceiling beams painted red. View from the room was out onto a square which was fascinating to see the various characters throughout the day. very comfortable bed, decent shower room. Breakfast is taken down in the cellar, past more grafitti on the walls, loved it. Breakfast is more in the traditional french style, with bread and croissant served in a basket supplememted by cereal and yogurt. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. This hotel may not be to everyone's taste, but we loved it. The atmosphere and the location were good. Would visit again.

My husband and I stayed in a Superior Double Room for two days at the beginning of March. We had a wonderful view of the park and the Eiffel Tower. The room is beautiful to look at, but a little damaged in some parts (for example the shower). The biggest problem of the room was the ventilation system, as it smelled of the drain several times. The cleaner does her job, as she cleans the room daily, but the problem is exclusively ventilation. I might also point out that you can hear the chairs being moved in the bar in the room. I would also suggest that a different choice of breakfast be made every day, as it was the same breakfast twice. However, I would like to conclude by praising the staff, who were friendly at all times.

The hotel is not in the tourist spot areas but staying here is comfortable for a solo travellers. The room is very basic but its clean. If u look for halal food, its just a walking distance. There is a Monoprix store next to the hotel for apparel and groceries needs. The bed is comfy even it is simple. The staff is very helpful. What summarise it as it was above my expectations for a budget hotel.

Very good room, just as in the description. Good shuttle service to the airport.
