Hôtel Korner Sorbonne

Clean small hotel in a great area with small variety for breakfast. I was happy to see they provided hard-boiled eggs and cheese.|The hotel only provided one bath towel for the room. would have been nice if I could have gotten at least one more without having to ask. Bathroom counter space was very small. |The location is absolutely perfect for anything near Notre Dame, The RERB from the airport is right there. |Theres tons of bistros or the hop on hop off buses or Batobus to go to all the various sites off the Seine.

Great location - close to public transport and the Latin Quarter for touristing and food. The hotel staff are really friendly and accommodating, and the room was exactly as expected with a very comfy bed and a decent shower. I’ll stay here again when I visit Paris!

This hotel is now called Hotel Korner Sorbonne. When it was Hotel Diana it was really good. Now I would not recommend it in any way! The breakfast is just plain terrible for Paris - the croissant was awful. It was worse than an industrial one sealed in plastic from Walmart or any supermarket in Canada. This in Paris where great pastries and croissants are everywhere. There is absolutely no charm left in this hotel at all. White walls, white duvet, etc. There were a number of ants crawling on the floor in the bathroom. The day before I was due to arrive, I also suddenly received a message that my credit card was not valid and that if i didn't get this fixed within something like 7 hours my room would be cancelled! My credit card was valid but the bank was wanting me to confirm it using a work cell phone that I didn't have with me! I contacted the hotel and tried to use another credit card. They said that it didn't work but now that I have checked my statement I see that I was billed for the first night on this card AND paid for this night again. (My mom actually paid because of the craziness of how they were going to cancel the room before I even arrived. They had had the booking for months and were only giving something like 7 hours to get everything fixed once they decided there was a problem.) I now will be contacting the hotel today due to the double payment. They are very understaffed. The person on the front desk in the daytime was friendly. The same person is doing the very poor breakfast and reception at the same time and taking people to measure rooms for drapes, etc. You can't even get out of the hotel sometimes as there is no one at reception to unlock the automatic door to let you out! This could potentially be a fire hazard. The water suddenly was off one day for the entire building without any advance warning. This was fixed when we came back 7 hours later. The rooms are fairly small even for Paris. The location is good. However, AVOID this hotel. It is very expensive for what you get and has zero charm! This is not Hotel Diana any more and not good at all.

Location is excellent. Close to all tourist hot spots. Buffet breakfast is good. Rooms are a bit small but it’s down town Paris so should be expected . Clean and safe. Staff was amazing and spoke English and French .quite area yet close to many shops and restaurants.

Hotel Diana was very convenient where it came to accessibility. Has what you need a bed, tv, and shower. The only complaint I have is that it wasn’t very clean particularly the bathroom. Also the AC wasn’t working instead of staying cold it when hot a couple of times. Staffing is very polite and are there if you have any questions. Overall we felt very safe and had no issues.

We were very disappointed, having stayed many times at this hotel, to find it had been taken over by a chain. From the moment we arrived we felt we were in the way of some filming (presumably a marketing video for the hotel). Then my room had a leaking toilet so I needed to move - this proved quite complicated and once again, I was made to feel that I was the problem! Despite being relocated to a smaller room, I didn't get the promised refund. We saw 6 or 7 different people on reception during our stay, so there was no continuity, no recognition - just not at all welcoming. Even booking a cab on the day we left was not straight forward, with two different people not communicating. We wondered if they were now only focusing on younger clients - we for sure won't be returning - what a shame.

Simple but good and clean room. Upon arrival at midnight, reception said that only one night had been paid for (by my employer) not two. Discussing this in the morning in stead of midnight was not an option, even though it was clear that the first night was paid for. Zero flexibility. Also the elevator was broken for a day. I personally like the homey breakfast. But it is simple and limited, probably not what a lot of people would prefer.

Absolutely not to recommend. The hotel was a building site, smelling paint everywhere, including the room. The breakfast very basic. I had to ask for a plate, then for a cup etc., and it was just some simple buns and poor coffee. Sunday morning the electricity was out in our room, and they did not fix it before we checked out. (It was electricity elsewhere in the hotel.) Stay away!

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.
