Hotel La Lanterne & Spa by Timhotel

Location is ideal - a quiet area but just a short 7 minute walk to Notre-Dame. The restaurant next door is great too. The room was fantastic and the pool was a bonus for a swim after a long day walking around Paris. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Would very much recommend for family looking for a great base in a safe friendly location. My wife also liked that the Emily in Paris sights were just a walk away too!

We stayed 6 nights in October, 2025. The hotel is nicely located a short walk to Notre Dame. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. We found the hotel to be very modern and kept clean. They staff was helpful and friendly and someone was always there (24 hours a day). For a European city like Paris, the room was fairly large with a nice bathroom and shower. The pool and steam room are a nice bonus if you have the time to enjoy them.

We stayed 4 nights at La Lanterne and were very happy with our choice. We had a Deluxe room, which I highly recommend - more spacious than I have seen at other comparable hotels in Paris. Comfortable room and bed. The location is perfect for exploring by walking or Uber/Metro. The staff were friendly and available - really went above and beyond. We did not use the pool or restaurant so can't comment on those. We would be happy to stay here again.

This hotel is in great location and a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame and about the same to Luxembourg Gardens. Lots of cafes too near by as well. We had a terrace view room (#7) on 1st floor which faced an interior courtyard and was great for relaxing after walking around Paris. Shower was great and bed was comfortable enough. Room was decent size enough for European standards and would highly recommend staying here.

The staff was incredible!!!! Thank you all so much for making our perfect stay there so special. They are warm and welcoming, so helpful and accommodating, and have amazing attention to detail in the rooms. The spa was also such a relaxing treat after a long day of sightseeing before we’d get ready to go out again for dinner. If you’re staying in the latin quarter, this is the place. 10/10

The hotel is super conveniently located in the Latin Quarter and near many cafes and public transportation. The hotel has beautiful indoor pool and spa. The hotel staff are all friendly and helpful. The beds are very firm which is good for many people but was problematic for me due to some back issues. The hotel responded by purchasing a soft mattress pad for me specifically which was way beyond my expectations. A special shout to Rachel at the front desk for making the arrangements. We would also like to give special thanks to Leah at the front desk and Nassina in the kitchen. |Merci beau coup!

Overall, I'm not satisfied with the hotel due to the room assigned, its size, which made it almost impossible to move around inside, the price of breakfast, and other issues. On the other hand, the facilities are modern and look new; the housekeeping service was very good, as was the Wi-Fi and the spa. Quality, when understood as exceeding expectations, is not what I expected, so the hotel didn't meet my expectations, so the price-performance ratio is not good.

This was a wonderful hotel right in the Latin Quarter, and I'm so happy we stayed here for a week during our visit. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful throughout our week-long stay. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and we didn't have any issues with noise from other guests or anyone/anything outside. We also enjoyed the relaxing pool and hot steam room while we were there. We were also super close or within walking distance to so many beautiful sites/attractions, delicious restaurants, shopping, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better hotel for our visit, and we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location, friendly staff and clean rooms with everything you need. The pool is very relaxing after a day site seeing.

We stayed in Paris at another hotel for 6 nights and then headed down to Nice. The other hotel was similarly located and priced. When we returned to Paris, we decided we wanted to try somewhere new and decided to stay at Hotel La Lanterne. The good stuff: this hotel is very cute! The lobby, the rooms, and the wellness/pool/hamam. The staff were very nice and tried to be helpful, however, maybe they are overworked? We frequently had to wait.. wait for someone to come to the lobby to give or get our key, wait to ask questions, to have requests responded to. They were always willing... it just began to be frustrating. Next, the rooms are small. They make good use of the space, however, we stayed in similar hotels in Paris, and had more room. The location was good, however, (just personal preference) we enjoyed being a little closer to the Seine and main metro stations. All of this would be fine, EXCEPT, the lack of sound proofing. As we were falling asleep we heard the elevator coming and going, people entering rooms, putting stuff in their closets. We heard it all. I struggled to sleep (which is the main purpose of the hotel!) and was exhausted!!! And if we could hear them, they can hear us... The pool and hamam are cute and a great luxury/convenience, especially after a long day. However, it doesn't feel like they have the staff to keep this area up. There were towels and disposable flip flops everywhere. They ran out of towels and soaking wet I had to go up to the lobby and request more and as stated before, they are overworked so it took awhile to get them. They have to turn on the hamam themselves and the feels like a design flaw. In addition, the hamam had pink and black mildew in the grout on the walls and on the ceiling. Breakfast - mehhh. not worth mentioning. We really wanted to love it because it is cute, centrally located, and had the pool/hamam. However, due to the above, it is just okay.

Wife and I went on a six-day getaway to Paris from the United States and specifically chose Hotel La Lanterne for its location in the Latin Quarter and its roomier-than-your-average-Paris-hotel rooms. We splurged for a fifth-floor room with a balcony. It turns out we got two balconies -- one facing the interior of the nearby buildings (not much of a view) and one facing the street (a fabulous view). The room itself had a separate WC, a stand-up shower, a closet, a TV, a queen-size bed and, thankfully, air conditioning. It was expensive but absolutely worth it. The staff at La Lanterne is very friendly and speaks English. Their daily breakfast buffet looks really good considering what your other options are in Paris, but it's pricey (17 euro). Their pool is more like a wading tub but it is kinda romantic. Their mini-spa area next to the pool is especially intriguing and worth at least a look. When booking La Lanterne, we thought we would be able to keep our room key at all times. But like many Parisian hotels, they ask to take your keys as you leave the hotel. At first we were uncomfortable with this but then we realized -- any hotel anywhere in the world could access your hotel room if they wanted or needed to. What's the difference? Keys are stored at the front desk and are safe. Don't let that deter you from staying here. The area around La Lanterne is great. Lots of bars, cafes and shops. Three days a week there is a farmer's market by the Metro station that offers fresh stuff. Also a police station close by, so you know you're pretty safe. You'll love having the Metro nearby. We're going to stay here again on our next trip to Paris.

My friend and I booked a night with Hotel La Lanterne after we had a horrible experience with an AirBnb a few blocks away. When walking into the hotel, the lobby is well decorated and smelled fantastic. The staff was extremely polite and patient. The rooms were larger than I expected for a boutique hotel, and the shower was divine! In addition, they had a self-serve wine station in the lobby. If only more hotels could have this! When I return to Paris next year, Hotel La Lanterne will be on the top of my list!
