Hôtel Left Bank Saint Germain des Prés

When staying in Paris this is indeed a hotel to consider. Main plusses are: - location, closeby Notre-Dame and Louvre. Very good restaurants just around the corner. - interior, french ambiance, stylish and well-maintained. Good shower - staff, friendly and helpful. Always a smile! - price, in comparison to other hotels this one stands out positively if you look at value for money. - checkout at 12:00 which is comfortable!

My friend and I stayed here for two nights in Paris. The location was great and the staff were lovely, even able to get us a reservation at Procope, the fancy restaurant next door the same day. The rooms were a little loud if someone was getting ready to depart with their luggage, but overall our stay was lovely. The room we shared was spacious for the two of us with all our luggage at the end of a two week trip.

The hotel staff was absolutely lovely. The location was perfect. Quiet yet walking distance to a lot of key places. The room was clean. It was however very small. Hard to open your suitcases in it. The towels I was thoroughly impressed by. For a hotel, the towels were very soft and they had a towel warmer which was a nice perk. One issue we had was the lack of outlets in the room. It was very inconvenient with the number of things we needed plugged in. Especially trying to do my hair. No outlets at all in the bathroom that could be used. The breakfast was not great either unfortunately, so not worth paying for that. There is however a great bakery right across the street that has the BEST croissants!! I would recommend staying here.

Nice rooms that are reasonable price, especially for a larger family. Our room had a view of the spires of Notre Dame. Excellent location, many restaurants within a very short walk. The front desk persons were extremely helpful and thoughtful. Will absolutely return.

We had such a wonderful experience here, we stayed for two weeks and loved everything about hotel, the staff and the area this hotel is in. The hotel had very comfortable bed, the bathroom looked newly renovated, and soundproof new windows which helped because of the restaurants and bars close by which were active late into the evening. Fanny the manager and the rest of the staff helped us with whatever we needed. It is a fairly busy area but that’s what we wanted, Odeon metro so close and shopping and cafes so close, right next to Le Procope also. We will be back!! Thanks you Fanny and Chris also, had a wonderful stay!

I just spent 4 nights at the Hotel Left Bank and couldn’t be happier. This is what hotels used to be before so many became impersonal and sterile. From the moment I checked in, I felt a sense of welcome. The receptionist even walked me to the elevator, though it was just around the corner! The breakfast staff was kind and remembered that I took soy milk with my coffee. Everyone greeted me with a Bonjour and a smile. For me, it’s all about service, and this hotel gets 5 stars! In addition, the rooms are spotless and quiet, and the location can’t be beat. Looking forward to my next visit. PS: loved that they serve a pitcher of coffee and milk, none of those awful machines where you have to get up and try to figure out how the machine works

We loved our stay at this boutique hotel in the heart of Paris for 11 nights. The staff always greeted us. The breakfast was delicious everyday. The room was clean everyday. The hotel was very quiet considering there is so much to do in the neighborhood. We highly recommend The Hotel Left Bank

It is in a nice location, and the room was a good size. However, it was very, very dark, and kind of depressing. The room appeared to be clean, but there is a lot of heavy drapery everywhere, on windows and used as room dividers. If you have any sensitivity to dust, you might have some burning eyes, scratchy throat. Also, we tried the 5 Euro breakfast buffet on the first morning. We did not go back.

When we arrived, the hotel smelled musty, the room was very small, no outlets in the bathroom, which for us two girls was hard getting ready. There was barely room for two suitcases, the bed was very hard, so hard that my back hurt the whole next day. The last thing you want in Paris. The room also smelled very musty. On the last day, we noticed that the middle board right above my head over the bed was cracked, and the ceiling was caving in. Additionally, when I asked for extra towels the staff member grab the towels off the bench in the dining room..

Outstanding service from the staff, allowed us the store luggage the day before check in. Outstanding location, in the middle of the Paris universe. Our room overlooked Notre Dame. We could not have picked a better hotel.

Another lovely little 3-star hotel in a great location, which is just off the Carrefour de l'Odeon on the Blvd. St. Germain. It is a 5 to 10 minute walk, via the rue Dauphine, to the Pont Neuf on the left bank of the Seine. This makes the Ile de la Cite, Notre Dame cathedral and the Louvre just a 15 minute walk from the hotel. The Odeon metro station (on line 4) is also a two-minute walk in the opposite direction. In short, it is ideally located for exploring all the major attractions in Paris. The rue de l'Ancienne Comedie is a great little street with plenty of eating and drinking establishments to cater for all requirements. The renowned Le Procope is next door and Pub St Germain is next door but one. Close by are Cafe le Conti, a kebab take-away, a chinese/sushi resturant and a sandwich/coffee place. There is a supermarket (Fran Prix on rue Mazarine) and a pint-serving 'English pub' (The Mazet on rue St Andre des Arts) - both literally just around the corner. The Carrefour de l'Odeon, where the metro station is located, is graced with two highly rated resturants (le Comptoir and les Editeurs) as well as handy little bars, cafes and take-aways (Stratto, Snack Time etc etc), a news stand and quite a few cinemas, if that's your thing. The hotel is a fine Best Western 3-star with friendly, English-speaking staff. The rooms are on the smallish side but reasonably well-appointed. There is a lift and a breakfast room but no bar. The rates are very reasonable, coming in at around 200 Euros for a double per night.

Location is perfect, service extraordinary, rooms are super clean and nice decorated. Loved it! I was here for a week and we took advantage of the €12 breakfast, totally worth it. At the time of check in they are so welcoming and helpful, hotel condition is in great shape. Totally recommend it, paid around €200 a night.

My son & I just stayed 7 nights at Hotel Left Bank SG as part of our recent Paris/Reykjavik trip. I can't stress how much this hotel made the first part of our vacation enjoyable. We're familiar with this particular part of St. Germain des Pres as it's our preferred district to stay while visiting Paris. Many find that it's too touristy (yes, it is & so what we are tourists too) and crowded, that the atmosphere has changed from when it was originally a hangout for the poor literary set and antique shopkeepers, quaint cafes of the past. Yes. It has grown with designer boutiques and high end restaurants (ironically many still are more economical than those in SF!!!!). But nonetheless it's still a lovely district if it's for you as it is for us. Anyway, the hotel was always efficient and helpful whenever I emailed them when I was still in SF. They arranged a private car to meet us at CDG. I have always been a firm believer in taking the legal taxis from CDG in the past, but after experiencing a few dicey cab drivers who would rather take the chance on scamming us putting their medallions in jeopardy and even with the flat rate from CDG I decided no way again. Taxi fare to the left bank is now 55 euro flat rate; the private driver cost was 70 euro...15 euro more for peace of mind!! Our driver was waiting as arranged and we walked to his car (Mercedes van brand new and clean with complimentary bottled water) just a few steps away from the exit doors. He was very friendly and got us to the hotel in good time. We thought this was such a good value that we arranged to have the private car take us back to CDG. I was fortunate enough to get the hotel's top floor (6th floor) suite-the one that they have shown on their website. Yes. It truly has views of Notre Dame! Two windows with the typical geranium boxes open up onto the Paris rooftops as well as a full view of Notre Dame in the distance. It is awesome to see the cathedral all lit up when you turn in for the night! On the other side of the suite is a window with a second desk. Out of that window is a view of half of the Eiffel Tower. The suite is huge for Paris. And we truly appreciated the space! There is a small entry way as one enters the room followed by a sofabed with the window/desk overlooking the tower. To the other side is the bedroom with another desk, a bureau, two chairs, a makeup table, and two end tables with small lamps. So much space to walk around and relax it was so good. The bathroom is marble and roomy; comes with a bidet even. Only niggle there was that there was just one clothes hook. There is a window that can open as well. Spacious! Not remodeled as I've seen photos of other rooms, but all the same excellent fixtures. The housekeeping always kept the bathroom and the room spotless. I booked the 5 euro special breakfast rate online as it is a good deal for Paris. I opted to have breakfast in the room instead of taking the buffet in the dining room. So I had continental with choices (you fill out a card the night before with your choices) of coffee, tea, fresh orange juice, eggs, cereal, yogurt, cheese, ham. The choices all come with a basket of baguette, one each small croissant, pain aux raisins, and pain aux chocolat. I do have to be honest: This was the worst croissant I've ever eaten in Paris; it lacked enough butter. The staff from the reception (especially Christophe) to the housekeeping and ladies who brought up my breakfast were all lovely. Would recommend this hotel especially in booking the suite.

Great location and good value for a family budget hotel. Don't expect a huge suit, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. Our standard rooms easily accomodated 2x adults and a small child. Bath and toilet in each room.

Typical small European room. Beat up and uncomfortable furniture.. Bed so short my feet hang off the end. Noisy. Good location.

Fantastic location, and the staff were all very helpful. It's not super fancy, but we are not the kind who need fine china and linens in our rooms because we are always out on the town anyway. Super close to wonderful restaurants, markets, Notre Dame, great cafes, and more. Hey, it's on the left bank, after all! Great affordable treat.

Stayed 5 nights at the great establishment. #1 Location is amazing! St Germain is absolutely charming and by far the cutest area of all the arrondissements in Paris. The area is full of amazing patisseries & boulangeries, great cafes, restaurants and has beautiful Parisian cobblestone streets with beautiful doors and colorful welcoming store fronts. #2 Customer Service was amazing....the entire staff spoke English and were very friendly. Manager was so kind and accommodating. #3 Great Value, we were traveling with our 2 daughters so it was essential for us to have a room to accommodate 4. The Suite on the 6th floor was perfect for us. By American standards this was still a small suite for 4, but we were fine, the bathroom was spacious and modern and the views from the suite were breathtaking. The Eiffel Tower could be seen from the front window and the bathroom window and the bedroom window had a beautiful view of the roof tops/city/Notre Dame Cathedral. Loved, Loved, Loved hearing the Cathedral Bells from our room. Breakfast was a great value, had a great assortment of baguettes, croissants, variety of packaged cheeses, jams, whipped honey, deli meats, boiled eggs, cereals, yogurts, fresh squeezed OJ and delicious coffee. There is also an amazing bakery literally 10 steps across the street from the hotel Eric Kayser if you prefer to do that instead. I can go on and on, as we had a very pleasant stay. We will for sure return in the future!

I shouldn't even give it one star. Very poor customer service. I booked two rooms and within a few hours tried to cancel because it became impossible to get there for the visit. They wouldn't credit me even for one room. Very RUDE. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

This is one of the worst hotel services I have ever encountered. Seriously. I stayed there for 11 days that's a long time. I forgot my traffic ticket there I put it in the drawer. I come back 4 days later and ask nicely if someone has turned in a ticket the lady with short blonde hair and glasses looks at me in disgust and answers no. She doesn't even look at all literally just says no. Then I repeat telling her it is very important and if she could please look. She again doesn't care one bit and starts being even ruder telling me NO ITS NOT HERE. And really starts to yell at me. Then she asks me if I'm still staying at the hotel, I say no. She proceeds to tell me that this isn't a public place and to please leave. I literally asked her twice if she has seen my ticket. I know French service is notorious for sucking but this is a different level especially for someone working in HOSPITALITY. I can't even pay my traffic ticket or figure anything out because I'm not in the U.S I really dislike this hotel with a passion. Besides that the room was small and fine for two people.
