A bit too expensive for a veeeeery small room - I'm used to European hotel rooms but this was very very small, with barely room to walk around each side of the small bed, no fridge and a tv the size of a monitor. Not sure if this would work for 2 adults. I understand it was expensive because of the Olympics but we checked other hotels when we got there and there were plenty of other options. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the location is great, with access to shops and transport.

Hotel du Lion is an auberge suitable to access my workplace. A couple of minutes of walking takes us to Gare de Denfert-Rochereau. You can see Rue Daguerre just crossing the road. The room is kept clean every day. Kind and helpful persons are at the desk.

Excellent location near RER B and métro. Very friendly staff, arranged for our early check in at noon instead of 2pm. Rooms are small and storage limited, so not ideal when you have a lot of luggage. There is a flight of stairs to reach reception, then an elevator to the other floors.

Overall okay. Bed was good ad I slept well. It was clean and the staff was very nice. It was not quiet, not only it is in an area that is very busy and noisy, the rooms are not well insulated. I could hear everything that was going on in my next door neighbors...

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Some of the staff were really friendly, very polite and eager to help out. Breakfast was far more expensive than just going to local cafe or bakery for croissants. We had to ask repeatedly for more pillows (1 each isn’t enough!). Generally clean and the place was cleaned each day and fresh towels. The room was smaller than the pictures suggest, but the bed was very comfortable. Quite firm but just right for us. Wouldn’t recommend for someone over about 6’2” as doubt you’d fit on the toilet! Generally a very positive experience and the hotel feels safe with a 24-hour reception and double front doors and a lift. There is a narrow stairway to reception so not suitable for those with mobility issues. Thank you to the kind lady on reception who looked after our bags for a few hours on the final day.

Great location, tiny room, thin walls, warm.

Great location and value in central Paris, just a stone's throw from the Catacombs. 30 min by train to more touristy spots like the Eiffel tower. You have to give up your room key every time you leave, which was a bit odd. No AC. Can't really keep the window open because of noise, and the fan is rigged so that you can only use the lowest setting. The built in hair dryer was broken, and I asked for a replacement. They said they would check into it and never brought one. A room adjacent to ours complained about noise and we were only talking in normal indoor voices. Thin walls, or an overly sensitive human, I don't know. Either way, nice cafes just across the way and not bad for a value stay for a couple days in Paris.

Pictures on Expedia are a bit misleading. It’s not a bad place, but it’s definitely showing a lot more wear and tear than the pictures show. The entrance to the hotel is not attractive at all. There’s trash on the sidewalk outside the doors, and the area is a bit run down. That said, it doesn’t appear to be an unsafe area. We were there 5 days and never ran into issues with anyone. Also on the entrance, you find out the hard way the welcome desk is on the second floor, and there’s no elevator! Making things worse is the stairway to the front desk is very narrow and fairly steep. Lugging a heavy suitcase up the stairs is a real challenge. My wife wouldn’t have been able to do it since she’d just had knee surgery. The front desk staff are very friendly and very helpful. They assisted the person who presented the morning continental-style breakfast, who was incredibly friendly and helpful! She was flawless every morning. She alone made up for the shortcomings I described. All in all it wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t stay there again. The entrance and stairs alone are a deal breaker.
