Hotel berhampiran Pharmacie Monge (Sacré Cœur) di Paris

We stayed in a double room, and I must say it was the tiniest room I have ever stayed in a long while. There was barely any space to move. The bathroom was in a tiny corner where it was uncomfortable even using the toilet. The mattress was super soft, probably quite old and not comfortable. Also, cleaning was not up to standards. We stayed 3 days and it was cleaned only once. The first day they wanted to clean it at arond 6pm but at that time we were resting, so we had to decline. Staff, however, was friendly and polite in general. Location was decent, pretty well connected

Impressive youth hostel in a great location with 20 mins walk to Notre Dame and 30 mins to the Lourve Museum. Good personal facilities in bucket bed, and a beautiful greenhouse cafe. The only issue was the shower, as you have to press it every 3-4 seconds.

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?

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.

El hotel queda en la parte sur de París, no tan cerca de la parte turística de la ciudad, pero está cerca de una estación de metro. Inicialmente, estábamos super preocupados por los comentarios de chinches en los cuartos, pero afortunadamente no paso nada de eso, pero se que a unos amigos que iban con nosotros, si tuvieron problemas con los chinches, parece que es algo de suerte. Los cuartos son algo pequeños: una cama, una barra para colgar chaquetas y una pequeña mesa con una silla y lucen algo antiguas las habitaciones. El agua caliente funciona bien. La calefacción no la usamos ya que no hacía tanto frío. Al baño le falta algo de limpieza, tenia mucho moho. El desayuno es buffet y es bastante bueno con diferentes opciones. El servicio del personal también fue muy bueno. Fueron muy amables. Solo un detalle para que tengan cuidado. Un día salimos todo el día y cuando regresamos, la puerta estaba entreabierta. Al parecer, la persona de la limpieza al salir, no cerró bien la puerta. Afortunadamente no se nos perdió nada, pero la verdad nos asustamos mucho.

Super nice hotel with good Paris environment and very convenience, a great hotel to stay with family and kids here, all the services are good specially reception. I will take the first choice if I come back Paris! The fantastic time to stay at Novotel Paris, there are so many restaurants nearby and the location is safe. If you need by train, just 1 mins to the station.

Very good hotel. Of course, Ibis Budget Hotel is not a luxury hotel, but for a low price you can stay very affordable. The metro station is about a 10-minute walk away, the staff is helpful, and the breakfasts due to the combination with the Ibis hotel are above standard. We will definitely be back again.

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.

Nice local hotel just opposite of Austerlitz railway station. Excellent front desk service . Room are small but convenient and clean . Nice breakfast .

Nearest subway station is just 120meters away, hotel is along a main street but quiet at night. Cafes , express stores, bread stores, pharmacies and other necessary establishments are just nearby. Price of the hotel is reasonable with daily filling breakfast. Size of triple room for my husband, I and our adult daughter is spacious for a Paris standard.
