Hôtel Bel Ami

Excellent hotel in a charming neighborhood in Paris. The rooms were clean and modern. The staff were amazing from day one. I went to celebrate my birthday and they put a ribbon in my door and balloons in the room. It made my day even more special! I will be back, hopefully soon.

We had planned a short stay in Paris but ended up staying 3 weeks at the Hotel Bel Ami because of a health issue with a relative in Paris. The accommodations and service that they provided were extraordinary. Actually extraordinary. At all hours, the staff were pleasant, and the hotel clean and safe. We will absolutely stay there again, and cannot wait to do so!

We were looking forward to our stay at Hotel Bel Ami. But on the road trip from the airport, my wife got car sick. Before I could come inside and check in I needed to get our things together and my wife settled on a chair outside. Seeing we were struggling, two staff members immediately came to our aid and helped. They got my wife some water and gathered our bags to be brought to our room. I can’t say enough about the kindness and compassion they displayed in helping my wife. The bartender and concierge were the two great staff members. The hotel has charm and character. The staff works hard to keep it clean by their attention to detail. The turndown service was a special touch that says this is a great hotel. It is in close proximity to most active areas. We walked to the Louvre one day. All in all it was a pleasant stay. When we return to Paris, we will consider a return to Hotel Bel Ami. Thx.

The hotel is really great. And it generally deserves 5 stars. Location is amazing, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very clean and nice, I especially loved the bathroom. Only thing you definitely need to consider is that certain rooms (at least on the first floor) will be heavily impacted during certain nights by the noise of a club? next to the hotel. One night, we could not sleep until after 3am which is of course absolutely frustrating. The hotel was so kind to let us change rooms the next day and gave us a nice upgrade. But as a general advice: ask for room numbers higher than .08 and you should be fine and will have a wonderful time at this lovely hotel.

Superb location, right in Saint-Germain-des-Prés! Ran along the Seine every morning during my stay. Walking distances to Musée d'Orsay and Le Louvre; and Beautiful, well manicured and clean streets and alleys. Also, within few minutes from metros: 5, 12, 14. Hotel was nice and clean; small room, even for Paris. Staff was great and courteous, especially the breakfast crew in the small dining area. In Paris, you will experience a wide spectrum of 5 star hotels! Book with an open mind and experience all the positives that Hotel Bel Ami offers! I may come back for the location alone!

Hotel Bel Ami, nestled in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, offers a captivating blend of Parisian charm and contemporary elegance. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of understated luxury. We were celebrating our babymoon and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel truly special. What we loved: * Location, Location, Location: Situated in the vibrant Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the hotel is within walking distance of iconic landmarks, charming cafes, and world-class boutiques. We spent hours exploring the neighborhood, soaking in the Parisian ambiance. * Stylish Accommodations: Our room was beautifully appointed with tasteful decor, comfortable bedding, and a modern bathroom. The attention to detail was evident, from the luxurious toiletries to the thoughtful amenities provided. They even decorated it for our special occasion and that really made us feel so special. * Exceptional Service: The staff at Hotel Bel Ami were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, offering personalized recommendations and assisting with any requests we had. They truly made us feel special during our babymoon celebration with thoughtful touches and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. * Breakfast was a highlight: The breakfast buffet was a delightful experience. A wide array of fresh pastries, fruits, cheeses, and hot dishes were available, setting us up perfectly for a day of exploring the city. Agnus, in particular, was amazing and went above and beyond to make our breakfast experience truly special. * Charming Ambiance: The hotel's intimate size and elegant design created a truly special atmosphere. We felt like we were staying in a stylish Parisian apartment rather than a typical hotel. Minor Considerations: * While the rooms are beautifully designed, some may find them a bit on the smaller side. That is absolutely normal for Paris. Overall: Hotel Bel Ami is a truly exceptional hotel that offers a memorable Parisian experience. We highly recommend it to discerning travelers seeking a stylish and comfortable base for exploring the City of Lights. Tips for fellow travelers: * Book your stay in advance, especially during peak season. * Take advantage of the hotel's concierge services for restaurant reservations and sightseeing recommendations. They really go above and beyond. Best restaurant recommendations!! * Explore the charming streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and indulge in the local cafes and boutiques. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Enjoyed my visit to Paris and staying at this hotel. The hotel was centrally located. There was an issue related to an employee benefit charge which is charged in France. I have edited my review since there was a resolution after a few months. I had booked through Expedia and was not aware of this charge on top of gratuity I gave on my own. Anyway eventually it was clarified. I hope someday to visit Paris soon and would consider staying here again.

Located in a clean, comfortable area surrounded by cafes and bookstores and only a short distance away from the bustling culture near the Seine, Hôtel Bel Ami's qualities begin outside of the building and only grow from there. My mother and I stayed for a few days to watch the 2024 Olympics and the service at the front desk, breakfast buffet and our room was perfectly accommodating from start to finish. I found the people working here (and in the area in general) friendly, understanding and conversational, even in English. Hope to see our Filipino friend, Mona Lisa, again. Thank you to you and everyone else for the wonderful time. We hope to return to Paris soon.

Really nice hotel, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, with many nice cafes and designer boutiques within walking distance. I was upgraded to the 'Superior Room,' which was smaller vs. some of the other hotel rooms I'll normally stay at in the states, however, the hotel and the room was super modern and had nice decor. Me, my daughter and 3y/o grandson bunked together since we were on vacation and it wasn't bad at all. We were given the option of a queen or twin beds and opted for the queen, which was quite comfy. On another note, Máxime, very helpful concierge staff member, went above and beyond to return my wristwatch to me. Me and my family were on our way (walking) to the Louvre and were about two blocks when Máxime came running to return my watch that I had left in the hotel lobby. Now that is amazing customer service!!All of the staff were kind, super friendly and were attentive to our every request. Great hotel and highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location! My kids took one look at the hanging chairs in the lobby and decided it was one of their favorite hotels ever. The only issue was there are only 2 hanging chairs, which became a constant fight among our 3 children. Once again traveling works way better for families of 4, but we do love kid #3! :) It's hard to also find hotel rooms for families of 5, but this was the perfect set up. We had rooms 406-407, which were connected. The kids had their own room of 2 twin beds + a cot and we had a big bed in our room. The rooms themselves were small, but to be expected in Paris. The kids also loved that there were stuffed animals, balloons and treats awaiting their arrival. Nice touch! The bathrooms were also very nice, although I wish the kids bathroom had a shower vs a tub, but the tub is probably very helpful for smaller children. All the staff were super helpful when it came to dining reservations, other suggestions for excursions and even helped us get a car service to Versailles when we realized we didn't have a car booked to get there. It was really difficult to get an uber/taxi for a family of 5 in Paris so we appreciated this. The restaurant in the lobby served lovely wine. I enjoyed a cheese plate one night and my kids raved about the fish and chips (they were hooked from their previous week in London) and truffle mac & cheese. Our breakfast was included and I really enjoyed the buffet. I settled into a morning breakfast route of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and (when in paris) a croissant. And my kids loaded up on all the pastries and breads. I used the gym about 3-4 times as well. It was small, but had everything I needed to get a somewhat decent workout. There's only 1 treadmill, but I was able to snag it all mornings, but one. There are so many great hotels to stay at in Paris, but this is definitely one I'd recommend. And we loved the neighborhood too!!

Location.... Simply the best in Paris! Less than 1/2 block from Entrecote, Cafe De Flore and Les Deux Magots, plus it is just blocks away from a host of my other Paris favorites like Atlas! If you are up for a ten minute walk, cross the river and enjoy a day at the Louvre... 10 minutes further and you are at the Arc de Triumphe! The Saint Germaine area is special because it is still very French! Of course there are tourists... but you hear way more people speaking French than you hear the English and Arabic that dominate the Champs Elysees!! The hotel is classy, quaint, modern and continuously being updated! Be sure to make special note of the Manuel Merida art piece! The rooms are modern, comfortable with very good beds! The bathrooms are modern and have everything you could possibly want! All the staff is as welcoming, nice and professional as can be... There is a culture of gracious welcoming that you can feel from the second you enter through the front door. The Bel Ami Cafe serves an excellent breakfast and Vincent, the manager, sets a wonderful example for the entire s Two of the gems that make the Bel Ami a hotel that feels like a home are Monalisa in the Cafe and the head concierge, Christophe.... Thank you for another incredible visit!!!

Stayed here for 4 nights (fine enough, small room) and had to check out early because i got very sick and moved my flight back home sooner. I explained the situation to the hotel and asked for a refund for last 2 unused nights. they told me I canceled outside the allowable window so they cannot refund me. This business is extremely inflexible and does not actually care about its patrons even in extreme situations. I was worried enough about my health -- a refund for the last 2 nights would have been a great gesture given that I was a paying customer for the first 4 nights. Would never return! (Also they charge 8euros for a tea!)

An excellent boutique hotel in a great location. Many major locations are walkable and the metro is very close. If you want to be in a neighborhood instead of in the heart of the tourist district, the Bel Ami won't disappoint.

We had such a lovely stay at Hotel Bel Ami! The staff truly went above and beyond to make our experience great. - A few days before our arrival, they emailed us to ask if we needed anything before check-in. - On the first day, we arrived before our check-in time, and the staff stored our bags for us so we could head out for the day. Since we had just gotten off an overnight flight, they also let us change and freshen up in the spa area. - We mentioned that we recently got engaged, and the staff decorated our door and gave us a voucher to each get a glass of champagne at the hotel bar. Such a nice touch! - They printed our disneyland tickets for us and also booked our travel to the airport at the end of our trip. The hotel is in a great area - near plenty of restaurants and shops. Our room was clean and much bigger than I was expecting. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Paris!

Stayed in this wonderful hotel in late October. Excellent location, great staff, comfy bed, nice breakfast included. The room was a nice size with a nice shower and everything was immaculately clean. Free WiFi throughout the hotel was good, but the signal was not always as strong as I might have wanted. Nonetheless, it served its purpose. The hotel really stood out with its excellent service. The staff were all friendly and immensely helpful. I felt very much at home here.

Cute hotel in Paris right in the midst of the 6th arr. We very much enjoyed our stay here and really appreciated the service the hotel provided. Ahead of our arrival, the concierge helped us book reservations for restaurants, as many don't utilize email or websites for booking. The rooms are small, but nicely appointed; come on, you have to know that going in. We had a room with a view of Saint Germain des-Pres church and the courtyard that surrounds it. The room was a bit too warm for my liking (and we couldn't quite get it to cool off), but luckily, the window opened, so we had brisk, late-December air wafting in throughout the night. The hotel is incredibly close to the Saint Germain metro stop and tons of cafes and shops. The hotel bar was very cute and the service there was great. Cocktails are apparently not all the rage in Paris, or at least in Paris hotel bars, and the pours are not generous enough for this lush! A small gym is available for use, free wi-fi throughout the hotel, and a very polite staff. We had a great time. Merci, Hotel Bel Ami!

Pricey but excellent French hotel, on my rotation (though not so great as to be my go-to hotel). The rooms are small but in great condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and very English-friendly (my French is virtually zero, ugh). The location is fabulous--right down from Cafe Flore, St. Germain church, and lots of shopping; if you are a walker you can walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame, St. Supplice and the Eiffel Tour for that matter. I usually check on-line to see if they have any deals--if I can get a good rate, I often stay here, but if I'm going to be paying the rack-rate I usually move on. Yikes, the prices! But when I stay here, I do like it.

We stayed here and the staff is absolutely amazing!! So attentive and always making sure we were not only comfortable but made to feel special!! We showed up and they welcomed us and congratulated us on our anniversary! The door to our room had a bow on it and the bed has rose petals!! How cute!! Manuel and Christof were so great and felt like they were friends not staff. We will definitely be back and I will always highly recommend this beautiful hotel. And the location is perfect because it's not too touristy but feels like your living in Paris, not just visiting

Stayed at the Hotel Bel Ami for three nights over a long weekend in February and had a great experience. The room was very nice and large for Paris. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location couldn't have been more perfect! I would absolutely stay here again.

Clean modern room, helpful staff, great location, comfortable bed, and small workout facility makes me a happy traveler. This hotel had everything we needed. Of course the room is small by US standards but it is hard to find large rooms anywhere in Paris. The staff was very helpful with booking dinner reservations and they had a nice bar area to enjoy a cocktail before heading out for the night.

This exquisite hotel is perfectly located, being close to sites such as Notre Dame, the River Seine and the Eiffel Tower, as well as art galleries and museums such as the Rodin and d'Orsay. When one thinks of French modern elegance, one should think of this hotel. There are many great restaurants in the area and not "touristy". The property is well appointed and also offers great service; one example is Janet who attended to all of our needs. The hotel arranged our Disney experience, polished my shoes, gave us the most delectable chocolates and had a wonderful breakfast buffet. One plus point is that the hotel has a nice supply of sturdy umbrellas, which is important given how much it rains in Paris. As part of the breakfast we really loved the choice of many different honeys.

We stayed here two years ago and had a magical visit. The team there is amazing and very helpful for planning anything. Prior to this hotel, we have stayed elsewhere that wasn't as modern. This one meets everything we are looking for and more. The food at the bar is really great too! Saint Germaine is the best hood in Paris. We are coming back again for a stay at this hotel for Xmas and New Years. Can't wait!

Fantastic concierge staff- were so helpful and got us tickets to some hard to get attractions! Great location - walking distance to the seine.

Absolutely love this hotel. The staff at the front desk were all so sweet and helpful, and our room was clean, spacious, and contemporary. Even though the room was pretty big, the bathroom was small- but that isn't extremely important for me anyways. The hotel has a small restaurant which I didn't try so I have no comments there, but I did use their small fitness center which is tiny, but adequate. The highlight of this hotel for me is LOCATION. It is on a cute small street in the center of the 6 arr (St. Germain des Pres). One of the best restaurants, Relais de L'entrecote is literally a 10 second walk. It is also 8-10min walk to the Seine, Jardin de Luxembourg, and maybe 10-15min to the Louvre. Sitting among so many great restaurants, shops, and landmarks, this hotel is perfect if you want to do some sightseeing, but also if you want to get away from the tourist madness of the Champs élysées and Eiffel Tower areas. Highly recommend.

Sparkling clean, walking distance to the Louvre and Notre Dame and a block from a Metro station. On a quiet side street. The staff could not be more helpful. Pricey but not out of line with the city and the area. Breakfast was complete and had a good amount of variety. We would come back in a heartbeat.

After touring around the UK for 10 days or so, we opted for a nicer hotel in Paris because we wanted AC and good security. We loved the location of this hotel and the desk staff was BEYOND friendly - and spoke good English, which was much appreciated since my French is terrible at best. The room was pretty small with the wardrobe taking up much of the space. The bathtub/shower was bizarrely inefficient, though. There was just a partial glass door, which caused SO MUCH water to splash all over the sink and floor because the shower isn't actually enclosed. Weird and made us have to mop up after each shower. But overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

Worst hotel ever. Never never stay here . Horrible service terrible rooms. Sleep on the street before this hotel

Hotel Bel Ami was was an enjoyable experience after our AirBnb. It is in the perfect location, right off of Saint Germain, with numerous restaurants and shops nearby. It's also walkable to everything from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower. The room was comfortable and luxurious. The staff was helpful and inviting. My husband loved the spa, particularly the steam room. I wish we'd stayed here for our entire visit!

Amazing hotel right in the heart of Saint Germain des Pres. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anybody who likes boutique hotels with excellent service. Don't get me wrong, we were nervous to stay here because all of our friends had horror stories about French hotels: tiny rooms, dirty rooms, no air conditioning, unexpected room charges (possibly for being American), mean hotel staffers, difficulty communicating. Some friends even said that we should stick to American chain hotels to make sure we get air conditioning which is absolutely necessary for us - we get hot very easily. However, we like boutique hotels and are not really chain hotel people. We believe that boutiques give you a better idea of the neighborhood/city you are visiting. We also like their quirky personalities and staying in more off-the-beaten path-type places. So Hotel Bel Ami conquered all of our fears pretty much immediately. Yes the room is small but I'd bet you a lot of money that most French hotel rooms are small compared to the ones in America. It was immaculately cleaned. It had air conditioning. There were no unexpected room charges. There were very nice common areas for drinks and breakfast. We loved the style and the splash of green accents everywhere. Very much our style. With regards to the hotel staff, they couldn't have been nicer. Does it help that I speak French a bit? Yes, probably. But when it got to a point where they were speaking too quickly or saying words I didn't understand, they switched to English without a hint of snottiness and helped us with whatever we needed. As soon as we arrived to check-in, somebody recognized our name and immediately said that we had a package (we pre-ordered the Museum Pass and had it delivered to the hotel). He handed us the package about 30 seconds later. Wow, that's service. I didn't even ask for it, it just appeared. The concierge helped us with a restaurant reservation along with tickets to Versailles and a Seine boat tour. So convenient and so easy. Most taxi drivers/uber drivers knew Hotel Bel Ami by name, but it was also easy to explain in French where it was located. No problem at all. If we go back to Paris, we will most definitely stay here. Loved the location, loved the hotel, loved the staff. Well done, Hotel Bel Ami!

An expensive - rephrase, a very expensive - French hotel in Paris. On trips to Paris in the future, I would continue to consider the hotel as a part of my rotation for client meetings but the pricing would keep it at a 3rd or 4th choice. I just cannot justify their rack rate (or even my corporate travel discounted rate during high season). The staff is very friendly, and more importantly the staff is very English friendly, which can be a challenge in Paris (not an urban legend... the French really do seem to despise English speakers). The location is a dream for both the tourist and the business traveler (except the commute to CDG is quite long). You are situated near Cafe Flore, St. Germain, St. Supplice, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Louvre. All of these are easily walkable for you. The gym is small, but has enough of the necessities that you can get by doing both cardio and limited light weights (weights up to 25kg, or roughly 55lbs). Overall, a quite nice experience except the absolute cost.

Very cute and friendly hotel. All the staffs are so friendly and they remember what we like for breakfast. First day of arrival, they have prepared fresh juice and chocolate for us. We would come back to this hotel on our next visit to Paris.

I absolutely adore the concierge team at the Bel Ami. My boss frequently travels to this hotel when she visits Paris - Jean Emmanuel, Thibault & Matieu, along with the rest of the concierge are always on top of making sure all my boss' transportation/reservation needs are met, down to last minute changes. Always a pleasant experience!

Great location in Saint Germain. Good service. Nice rooms and amenities for both business and personal travel. Great experience!

The hotel is expensive. Rooms are extremely small. Staff is awful, they stole money from my luggage, and no one admited it obviously. I do not recomend this hotel.

For context- I used hotel points and was on holiday with my sister... so we splurged a bit for our 3 days in Paris. Hotel Bel Ami has the best possible location- it is on a charming little road, very close to the Sain Germain des Pres metro station, close to the latin quarter (lots of cute funky restaurants) and all of central Paris. The decor is modern but a little quirky (books and libraries were a theme) and they have these great spherical hanging chairs in the lobby that are soooo cool (we had a friend with 2 kids who visit us at the hotel and they LOVED them). The room was compact (but then, what in Paris isn't??) However it was very, very well designed- the space had been expertly put together in a way that made you feel like it was twice the size. In addition the service was top notch- the room was cleaned, there was a turndown service, water bottles every day and gourmet chocolate when we arrived. We got there early and although we could not go to our room they took the bags up and took care of everything for us. Overall it was a 5 star experience and because we used hotel points it was a lovely splurge. I would also note that although I was not there for work, I think it would have been a great option- it is very well located, and the staff was excellent (the concierge staff were great about restaurant reservations etc). It is not easy to be good at both business travelers and holiday travelers but it seems to me that the Hotel Bel Ami may have just managed it!

Love this hotel. Felt like home from home . Could walk everywhere and not get lost Staff very friendly and helpful It IS VERY pricey Breakfasts are good and no objections if you are quite late In the room I found the lighting a bit dark in the central area when I needed it Other than that everything was great

This Hotel is absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough great things about the staff, the rooms and service. The waitress from the doorman, counter service people and concierge..they were just unbelievably helpful. You would think that I was giving them big tips but I only gave a tip to the doorman that fetched my cab when I finally checked out after a weekl! They take care of you with a smile and willingness to help no matter what you need. One thing I should note is that all that great service is probably built into the price seeing as this is NOT A CHEAP HOTEL. It's a luxury alliance hotel in the middle of Saint Germain near everything that's cool and awesome to see in Paris. Their average rooms are 450 euro per night and they get way higher in pricing if you get a superior room. The rooms are cozy and will impress despite their more modern decor. I don't really know what else to say. If you want an amazing experience in Paris and have a decent budget then stay here. However, if you consider yourself having a more than decent budget then stay at the Hôtel de Crillon to experience authentic luxury at its finest, but from my experience that particular hotel can be a bit pretentious.
