Hôtel Diana

We LOVED our stay here!!! The location is perfect- 5 minute walk from the metro by the Notre Dam. It is in a great area full of restaurants and cafes. 8 minute walk from the Pantheon. Also 10 minutes on the metro to the Eiffel Tower. The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. The lady at reception ( sorry we forgot your name ! ) was so kind and helpful and really made us feel welcomed. We will be returning to Paris very soon to our new favourite hotel ☺️❤️

The staff at Hotel Diana were lovely and always greeted us with a smile. Unfortunately when we booked this we relied on the photos and the photos are made to look nicer than what it was. The hotel was under construction which we weren’t informed about before or after making the booking. And our room/ bathroom smelt mouldy. Our aircon/ split system was broken so we weren’t able to cool down or warm up the room. If you’re wanting to stay for a night or 2 this place would be good but more than that I probably wouldn’t recommend.

The hotel is very well located in the Latin Quarter and for the location it is also very affordable. It has fairly modern, but simple design. The room was clean, the bathroom had a brand new feel, it was a pleasant surprise. Bed was comfortable for one night. 24/7 reception and a very friendly staff. Recommended.

Overall satisfied. Staff quite friendly and helpful. Room was ok, door to bathroom all scuffed, fridge not working, air con filters not clean and fan dusty. Also handing the key back in every time we went out was odd considering the safe key is on that key. Sheets not that clean hair found on first night.

Please note that I booked three nights through booking.com, and paid nearly $900. The pros: nice location. The cons: so many..... Upon checking in, I signed nothing. The woman working stated that they request guests leave room keys at the front desk each time you leave the hotel. They did not state that it's mandatory. There's a bulky room key and a safe key on a key chain. I left several times the first day keeping the room key with me. The next morning, I was chased down the street by the front desk worker, demanding that I leave my room key. When I refused, he wrote me a nasty email stating that it was policy. I'd left the keychain with the safe key in my room, and upon returning to my room that afternoon, noticed it was gone. The front desk worker than knocked on my door and handed me the key chain and safe key, and scolded me for not leaving the whole set at the front desk. They admitted they'd entered my room while I was gone, without my permission and taken the keychain and safe key. I checked out an hour later, ultimately having stayed just one night. I moved for the remainder of my weekend in Paris to the nearby Hotel Belloy. Room is old, noisy, with scuffed walls. Shower is very slick, someone is going to fall. You can hear the guests next door talking, snoring, watching tv, and their dog barking. Breakfast was dismal with rancid butter, rotten eggs, and the coffee machine was broken. Be warned, stay somewhere else.

Great experience for a few nights when everything was sold out. Would stay there again. Breakfast was so so but easy to get - staff was friendly. Would stay there again. We staying on the top floor and was roomy with views of the city.

Very good location to walk around, very friendly staff. Lots of yummy restaurants around the corner. Very clean room and easy to get help 24 x 7 from the staff. Didn’t have any problems in the room, and WiFi signal was very good. Didn’t have any problems to connect multiple devices

Pros: LOCATION. Right in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Walking distance to everything. STAFF. Very friendly and available 24 hours. Cons: ROOMS. Room #33. Much older than photos online. Very small even for Paris standards. The condition of bathroom was terrible. The paint was chipping off the ceiling badly and has been for a while by the look of it. The sink faucet was lose. The tub was very high and slippery-dangerous. Poor condition. ROOM KEYS: They have a policy that one must leave the room key at the front desk when out. They do not check ID when returning. Some random person can ask for a key and enter your room. Terrible system. They need to update the room locks. They have ancient lock and keys. Will not return.

When young kids in the early 1980's we stayed here. The Woman who owned the Hotel was very nice. The girl I was traveling with, we met in Nice, and I came to Paris together. First time for us both. The place had no elevator and the bathrooms were at the end of the hall. Around the late 1980's or early 1990's we came back. Yes, still with the same girl. They had rebuilt the place to what it is today. We have not been back since the late 1990's. I am sure Madam is long since gone. She was so proud of the changes. The location is perfect. My only complain is that I wrote then an email asking for some information so I could try and schedule a surprise vacation for my wife, yes that same girl, and they could not bother to return my email. So much for The City of Love. Madam would no be amused. Perhaps next year I can give a more update review, if they ge back to me.

When reading this review, you must consider the typical budget Parisian hotel: small, cramped bathroom, lack of AC, etc. This hotel more than adequately addresses them all. The room that we had was relatively spacious, with a double bed and some room to move around. The mattress was very comfortable and linens were perfectly clean (no gross bed covering that you typically find in hotels). There was also a relatively spacious bathroom with a nice bath tub (a good find in Paris). The room had quiet, perfectly-working AC and the Wifi was free. There was also a safe in the room. We were basically on a roll. The room also had double windows, which eliminated the noise from the adjacent street (this was amazing). The location is also quite nice. It's in the Latin quarter, walking distance from Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, and the Sorbonne. Metro access is easy as well, in fact it is on a direct RER B line from CDG airport (station St.Michele) Plus, I haven't even gotten to the best part, which was the breakfast. It was 8 euros, and there was a plentiful selection of breads, jams, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, and cereals. All was super tasty. Plus the coffee and hot chocolate were delicious, brought out in small cute pitchers so you could have a nice servicing. We went all around France during our trip and I still remember the drinks there. Yummy. Overall, the price was right, the location was good, and the rooms were great. I would recommend it to anyone.

Had the pleasure of a 4 night stay in August 2011. Wonderful little hotel with wi-fi, air conditioning, lift, and most important, spotless bathrooms. Although the rooms are not large they are very comfortable and mine included a flat screen TV, telephone, and mini-fridge, most of which I would not have expected for what is supposed to be only a 2 star hotel. In addition, the double windows kept all unwanted noise out. The location is fantastic, close to Île de la Cité, RER and metro stations. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and I will definitely return.

This little hotel, just a short step from Notre Dame and easily accessible from the metro (Cluny La Sorbonne). The rooms are on the small side but by no means the smallest rooms in Paris that I have experienced and there is even a bath in the bathroom - most unusual for a small hotel. The rooms seem to have been newly refurbished and were clean and light. A hairdryer and kettle are provided (but no cups). Breakfast is available but you have to order the evening before at reception. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and all speak English. I think it's a little gem!

Love all the people who work here, wonderful price and very comfortable rooms that you want to retreat to after a busy day visiting paris. Also the 8€ breakfast is very nice in the morning when you are to lazy to go out.

Overall a great experience! Really can't say a bad thing about this place. I booked my trip to Paris last minute and really had no idea what area Hotel Diana was in. I found it was in the perfect location! The Eiffel Tower is a 30/40 minute walk, Louvre/Orsay 10/15 and Notre Dam is just up the road. The price was also an amazing deal for the area. The cheapest I found after looking at 10+ hotels- 95 euros a night. The rooms are clean and spacious. The service at the desk was also friendly, especially Damien. My only suggestion is to book ahead by 2-4 weeks at least- they don't have many rooms. I got lucky finding a room available especially during Fashion Week.

We got exactly what we expected at Hotel Diana in November 2011. It's close to public transit, walking distance to everything (for city walkers) and clean. Yes, it's a small room, but that's what you get for this price range in Europe. Also, the staff was so friendly! When we checked in Thomas gave us the run down and then also took time to setup one of our dinner reservations. The rooms were a little outdated, but nothing to complain about. Also, the bathrooms where recently renovated and spotless so this place is a great value.

stay in the rear of the hotel. very heavy street noise in the front. when the a/c is off and you have to open the window not much sleep. close to many things we walked to the Louvre. Next to University of Paris.

I found the Hotel Diana to be an excellent choice for my Paris visit. Very close to the Siene at St. Michelle and Notre Dame, it is also steps from the Metro surrounded by lots of cafes and other eateries. I found my room to be clean, well laid out with everything in good working order at an excellent price. The staff were very gracious and helpful with lots of great tips on transpo, etc. I could not reserve them through the travel sites, but I was able to get everything locked up with an email exchange with them through their website. I had a street facing room which was great in the morning but a little noisy at night but after a day of tromping through Paris, I was out like a light anyway. The in room fridge was an unexpected bonus. At first I thought their breakfast was a little lacking but after hitting the street I discovered, Parisian breakfast just isn't much. If you need protein, McDonalds or Starbucks down the street is your only quick option. I guess if you stay in some big fancy place, they will have eggs and sausage.
