Hôtel & Spa Saint-Jacques

I stayed here with three friends as part of my 50th birthday celebrations and I couldn’t have hoped for a lovelier hotel. It was just what we were looking for - traditionally French, beautiful decor throughout, rooms overlooking the Parisian streets with cute balconies. Just wonderful. The breakfast buffet was so well appointed and beautifully fresh. The whole experience, location, cleanliness, comfort and the friendly staff made it a wonderful and memorable trip.

I stayed 8 nights in this magical adorable hotel. This was the first time that I had traveled abroad alone. The reception was always welcoming and eager to please. I especially enjoyed Doa. I had a nearby choice of several bus lines, metros and restaurants. I felt very safe in the neighborhood which is mostly schools, bookstores and restaurants. It was a very convenient location. The room service was consistent and I always returned to a properly cleaned room. Although the room and shower are very small, even for one little person, it was, as the French would say, correct.

We had a wonderful stay here, it’s a beautiful hotel with so much charm and character, the hotel staff were all very warm and welcoming, the complimentary Spa was a real treat too!! The receptionist who was there at night gave us a brilliant recommendation for a restaurant nearby, the hotel is located in the best area - close to so many things and easy to get around Paris from there. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

This was a charming hotel built in the 1800’s. It has a beautiful spiral staircase and elevator. We loved the paintings and architecture.The complimentary breakfast is just delicious with a variety of fruit, pastries, meats, eggs, croissants etc. it is equipped with a relaxing spa you can reserve for free. When we come to Paris again …we definitely stay here again.

Always wonderful to return to Saint -Jacques- this was our 4th time and it was wonderful. Staff are friendly and welcoming, rooms are as pictured and the location is ideal. We would love to see the hotel offer travellers early access with a half day rate rather than sitting in the foyer for 3 hours after a 20 hour flight.

Who could have imagined that we would stay at Hotel & Spa St. Jacques not once but twice in 2024? "C'est la vie," I guess. Longtime dear local friends recommend the St. Jacques to us for our earlier, late-May visit, and we loved the place so much that we rebooked it for two nights this past week on the tail end of a Normandy/D-Day sites visit. The rooms are cozy and artfully appointed; the lobby is small, but warm (with a bar for guests, to boot); the breakfasts are hearty and well-prepared; and the Spa is, apparently, a recent innovation here--and it's great, and it's private. And let's not forget the staff, who are uniformaly affable and helpful. The St. Jacques will always be our Paris home away from home!

What an amazing hotel! The staff is very friendly and the room was just perfect! The room was not big but was cozy and the bathroom was really good and spacious! Room was cleaned and organized for us everyday so everything was spotless when we got back to the hotel! The region is also very good, close to subway stations, bars and restaurants so it was easy to move around the city and also to grab a bite close when we wanted! Definitely recommend it!!

How can you describe this gem of a hotel in the 6eme? It's simply fantastic. If you are looking for a Hilton-esque experience, this is not for you. If you want a wonderful base from which to explore everything Paris has to offer, you really cannot go far wrong with Hotel & Spa Saint-Jacques. Excellently positioned on rue des Ecoles, any easy walk from Bd St Michel, the whole of the left bank is at your disposal. Short walks to useful RER and Metro means that the Rive Droite is equally accessible. The hotel is situated at the sweet spot of the left bank, far enough off the 5eme drag to have it's own slightly lower key feel (more Parisian life and less tourist trap) and also is a very short strike up the hill to Pantheon with some fun bars and restaurants. Worth a special mention are the two twin restaurants (la Petite Perigourdine and 'En Face') which offer a great balance of wonderful traditional French cuisine and slightly more relaxed dining respectively). Add in the delightful florists on the other corner and you have a winning combination . Our hotel room was well appointed and comfortable. We slept well every night and we found the hotel staff friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a very traditional period Parisian building so if small but elegant staircases and bijou foyers are not your thing maybe reconsider. I am sure however that like my wife and I there are many who would rank this as a true gem amongst left bank hotels. Highly recommended.
