Classified as a three star hotel. Our ratings (1 -5 stars):
Overall: 4 stars - Great value for the money in St. Germain des Prés. Good choice if you prefer a small, unique hotel that will give you the flavor of 18th century French living. The location is in the heart of St. Germain des Prés, a few minutes walk to famous cafés, street markets and designer boutiques (Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton).
Location:
5 stars - Located on Rue Jacob, a quiet street famous for its antique dealers, and fabric shops. One block from Lauderee, a famous patisserie and two blocks from two of the most historic cafés in Paris, Aux Deux Magots and café Florés. 3-4 block walk to the St. Germain des Prés métro stop. 3-4 block walk to the Seine river. Condition:
4 stars - Hotel in good condition, but definitely a little worn.
Style and Decor: 4 stars - Classic Parisian charm. The common areas and rooms are decorated in French style, including antique marble-topped dressers and tables, large velvet draperies and wing chairs, printed wallpaper and crystal chandeliers reminiscent of a 18th century Parisian townhouse. Each room is individually decorated with different furniture, room configurations and color arrangements.
Staff - 5 stars - The staff were extremely friendly and amiable. Our room was ready, so we were able to check into our room before 8:00am. The staff carried our luggage to our room, and showed us where the lights were, and how to turn on the TV - a nice touch in a hotel at this price-range. Throughout our stay, the staff was gracious and knowledgeable about the area.
Amenities: 4 stars - A small bar open 24 hours was housed by an atrium in the lobby. A sitting room contained copies of the English language International Tribune and an assortment of five other newspapers. The parlour/dining room was used for the complementary continental breakfast. The toiletries in the bathroom were of above average quality.
Value for Money:
5 stars - Excellent location, friendly staff and good rate for this class of hotel in the trendy 6th.
