Bien localisé - Les Gobelins

L'hôtel est situé dans le 13e arrondissement de Paris, tout près du métro Les Gobelins. Par métro, par autobus ou encore à bien, cette localisation permet d'accéder à divers quartier de Paris facilement. On y retrouve de bons restaurant dont le St-Ménard et aussi la célèbre rue Mouffetard. On peut se rendre à la Seine à Pied ou encore par autobus en 20 minutes à la Gare Montparnasse. C'était un séjour qui mariait travail et détente. La localisation de l'hôtel m'a permis de satisfaire ces deux aspects de mon séjour agréablement et facilement.

Unica nota positiva la vicinanza alla metro

Albergo a cinque minuti dalla fermata metro, ben collegato e non lontano dal centro. Ottima posizione anche per la presenza nei dintorni di negozi di generi alimentari , internet point, ristoranti...Il personale poco cortese. Il tipo della reception , appena arrivati, sosteneva che non avessimo pagato il soggiorno e stava cercando di farci ripagare il tutto, ho dovuto tirare fuori la ricevuta del pagamento e mostrarmi un tantino adirata. La stessa cosa hanno fatto dopo di me con una coppia di cinesi. La camera era piccola, senza aria condizionata e la pulizia non era proprio il massimo.Tutto ai limiti della sufficienza inaccettabile per un 3 stelle.

Off the beaten track on the Rive Gauche.

Hotel was very welcoming, in a quiet, understated way - staff charming and helpful. Room quite basic (it could do with a lick of paint), but all the basics were there, and bathroom was very well equipped. Location surprisingly quiet, and very handy for metro. Only criticism - The basic standard price of a double room is listed as 270 euros, with breakfast extra! This strikes me as very expensive, so thank God for the deals offered by Hotels.com!

Recomendo

O hotel está no Cartier Latin, uma das melhores regiões para se hospedar em Paris. Perto do metro, e ainda possível ir à pé ao Panteão, Jardins de Luxemburgo, e se a pessoal estiver disposta, até mesmo à Ile de lá Cité. Região muito segura, ao contrário da Bastilha e de Montmartre.

Ok hotel not far from everything

Hotel is a little run down and not that great. Bed is incredibly hard so didn't really get a good night sleep. The bath leaked. It wasn't originally our room though, we got there a little early and our room wasn't ready so they swapped so we could check in straight away, in hindsight we should of kept our original room as it may of been nicer. Was the first hotel I've stayed at that didn't have any tea/coffee facilities in the room.

Excellent location in the Latin Quarter.

This location is perfect for markets and small local restaurants. This is not the Hilton! There are no lifts and the stairwells are narrow and steep as with most of the city. Room is pleasant and comfortable. Bar across the street can get noisy, but you're in Paris!! Breakfast was nice with croissants, yogurt, fruit, cereals, eggs, juice, etc. Metro stop is a two minute walk. Front staff very helpful and opened the kitchen early so we could have breakfast before an early flight. Only cons were uncomfortable pillows and surly breakfast staff. Overall would recommend.

Very satisfied with stay

I needed a place to stay in the 5th arrondisement for my last night in Paris. With a lower budget, I had few options, and read a lot of disappointing reviews for "closet-size" rooms. Thankfully, this came up last minute, and I had a great experience! The room was a great size (I think I may have been upgraded to a double), the bathroom had a tub and shower (I was given a choice), and they were able to accommodate early check-in and very early check out. It was safe, clean, and comfortable for the night. And Jamal was super friendly to chat with at night! When considering my wish list and budget, this was a top notch option.

En härlig weekend

Hotellet var mycket bra i sin helhet. Rummet var ganska litet, men allting fanns och det var rent och fräscht. Personalen var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam med allt. Frukosten var också godkänd, man betalade extra för denna, och det kändes som att det var värt pengarna. Området kändes också bra! Detta var vår första gång i Paris, men vi kan inte vara annat än supernöjda! Rekommenderas, sålänge du inte kräver stora utrymmen :)

Ottima posizione, pulizia eccellente

La camera è essenziale, l'arredamento è datato, la porta del bagno sfondata e c'è una terribile tenda doccia. Ma la pulizia è eccellente e il personale molto attento e disponibile. Considerando gli standard parigini, è una ottima soluzione. La posizione è perfetta, a due passi dalla linea 7 della metro e nelle vicinanze ci sono molti negozietti abbastanza economici.

Hotel correct mais quelques points à revoir

Bonjour, En tant que Commerciale, je fréquente régulièrement les hotels y compris via des intermédiaires pour avoir les meilleurs tariffs, cependant cet hotel est incapable de fournir une facture aux commerciaux (facture émise au prix inférieur supprimant les commissions des intermédiaires). Un peu limite tout de meme, chaque hotel doit pouvoir émettre une facture du montant réglé. D'autre part, la chambre et le confort de celle-ci étaient corrects (ch 209) en revanche un couvre-lit clair (dispose pour la deco) était plein de tâches suspectes. Mieux vaut dans ce cas rester minimaliste et ne rien mettre. Le personnel de l'accueil n'est pas désagréable mais fournit des explications quant à la facture un peu limitées. Les commissions que prennent leurs intermédiaires afin d'obtenir une frequentation plus élevée ne concernent pas les clients ! Pas de commentaire sur le petit-dej que je n'ai pas pris. Les chauffages sont vieux et ne conviennent plus à la chambre. Pour les points positifs, hotel bien situé dans rue calme et facile pour se garer en arrive tardive. Le confort y est tout à fait correct pour les commerciaux. Cordialement.

Great value, outstanding staff

This hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, within an easy walk to the metro. The staff were professional, courteous, and went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth as possible. We took the time to talk to them about our lives and theirs, and learned a good deal more about the French than we would have otherwise. The rooms and bathrooms were compact, but immaculately maintained and plenty comfortable. This was our first trip to Paris and this hotel contributed to a wonderful experience.

A comfortable short getaway hotel

We booked a two night stay and found excellent value in a small well run hotel. The room was comfortable, the staff were pleasant and helpful, check-in and out times were realistic. It was perfect for a sight-seeing break when we were out of the hotel most of the time with no need for facilities other than a comfortable room and simple breakfast. The Rue Mouffetard which was nearby was excellent for shopping and eating and was very pretty during our pre Xmas stay.
