Hôtel Odéon Saint Germain

I stayed here for about five days, and I can say this was one of the best hotels I stayed at during my time in Paris. The location is very strategic, with a lively neighborhood around. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and always helpful. The room was quite spacious, although the elevator is small.

The location was ideal for me as a single female traveler .|I'm familiar with and comfortable in the neighborhood. It's close to the Luxembourg Gardens, St. Suplice Church, small neighborhood restaurants and the D'orsay , yet on a relatively quiet street. |Street side rooms have wonderful operable tall windows that allow for fresh air, a quick assessment of the weather and the action of narrow neighborhood street rather than an industrial boulevard. Once those windows are closed the rooms is quiet. I can not stay in a hotel with non-operable windows.|Interior rooms have operable windows facing the lightwell but still offer daylight and fresh air.|Drapery has both sheers for privacy and heavier black out. |The lobby and breakfast room are cocoon like and the staff is professional but also warm and accommodating. |This hotel has personality and Paris flavor and does not feel like a corporate owned chain. |The bath sink areas are in need of better lighting and that should be an easy fix with eye level wall sconces mounted on the mirrors or on opposing walls. |I love this hotel and appreciate that the price of rooms is not outrageous.

While we have been in Paris a number of times, this is the first time staying in Saint Germain. We took a recommendation from "Les Frenchies" on you-tube and we were not disappointed. The room was quiet, clean, very comfortable and a rain shower after day of walking the streets of Paris was a treat. The breakfast was perfect. The ambiance in the front sitting room was very classy but relaxing. It was very pleasant to sit in the late afternoon, have a glass of wine and chat about our day and our dinner plans. All of the staff were so welcoming and friendly. This was an upgrade from where we had previously stayed (in the 7th) and really a great place to stay, and is easy walking distance of a number of good restaurants and attractions. Thanks to all of the staff at Hotel Odeon. Merci bien.

My wife and I began Christmas in Paris stay here for 6 nights. Location is great with metro stops close. We arrived early, they did store bags and worked to get us checked as soon as possible. Room was very clean. I know European rooms are small, this was our biggest complaint. Had king bed took up most of room. Hard for two people to get around. Did try the breakfast one morning, did not care for it with the price charged. Most all staff were very friendly, did ask for clean towels on a Sunday, seemed no service on a Sunday. We were looked at as if we commented a crime. Over all we would recommend this for a Paris stay.

Hotel Odeon St. Germain was centrally located in downtown Paris, so it was easy to get to all the main attractions. The service was excellent! The staff was always available to help you with your needs. Pia sitting at the front desk was always very helpful, whether recommending somewhere to eat or shop, giving directions and calling a cab, which usually arrived within 3-4 minutes. We highly recommend staying at this excellent hotel!

My wife and I just spent 4 nights at Hotel Odeon. It is a fantastic location. St Germain is very busy. Many restaurants, cafes, bakeries, shops and galleries and a Metro stop within easy walking distance. But the hotel was a quiet little oasis. It is small and oozes old European charm. Our room was way more spacious than typical in Paris. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Loved this hotel.

Fantastic location I think, rooms are a tiny bit dated but it’s an old building. Rooms are no soundproof as advertised. WiFi kept logging us out every-time we left the hotel room. But the staff are great and responsive, turndown was really thorough each morning. Would recommend if you don’t mind older rooms. The tv didn’t have casting or Apple TV capabilities which was a bit poo.

This is a sweet little hotel, in a wonderful part of Paris. It is very comfortable and relaxed, and I feel more like a resident than a guest! The rooms are as advertised--I tend to get very specific depending on whether I'm traveling solo or with family--and an incredible bargain.

I'm very happy having stayed at this hotel for our first visit to Paris. Location is ideal with restaurants, a market, and public transportation nearby. Its also walkable to a lot of major "must see" places such as the Luxemburg Gardens, Notre Dame, Arc of Triomphe, and the Louvre. Also to Emily Cooper's apartment if you watch Emily in Paris. The room size is satisfactory for two adults and a child. The beds are comfortable: the pillows and the comforters are top notch. The room is air conditioned and you can control the temperature within. The shower is like rain falling over my head which I loved. No problem with water pressure or getting the right temperature. Although we stayed on the first floor I was thankful for the elevator especially after climbing hundreds of steps at Eiffel Tower, Arc of Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, and the metro. Lastly, I did enjoy their continental breakfast for 15 euro a person. It was convenient if you had an excursion to run to that day. The rotating person at the front desk was friendly and helpful when needed. I would highly recommend staying here.

It has been my dream to visit Paris ever since I was a teenager. For one reason or another, we always ended up somewhere else. But this year, my wish finally came true. Our family trip brought us to Paris. While I am not someone who travels in luxury, I did want to spend a little more for comfort and convenience. We chose this hotel based on reviews from other platforms, and I'm so glad we did. There are plenty of pros and really just one small con. The area is packed with amazing food options. Almost every dinner we had was within walking distance. There is a supermarket called EPIC just a few blocks away, and I stopped in almost every night to pick up water, a few cans of beer, or a bottle of wine. The gelato shop just down the block served some of the best ice cream we had on the trip. There is also a Uniqlo and a MAC store nearby in case you need a fresh t-shirt or any electronics support. The Louvre and Notre Dame are about a 15 to 20 minute walk away, which made sightseeing super convenient. Our room was on the fifth floor. While not huge, it was a good size by Paris standards. The bed was made from two twin beds placed side by side for my husband and me. There was also a one-arm sofa, separated by a half wall, where my son slept. We stayed for eight nights and requested housekeeping twice during our stay. Each time, they did a fantastic job. One day I noticed the housekeeper in the room next to us on her knees scrubbing the shower by hand. I was so impressed by how thorough she was. At the end of our stay, we left five euros as a small thank you. The front desk staff was also very helpful. When we had trouble getting tickets to the Louvre, one of the staff gave us tips on how to secure same-day tickets, which worked out perfectly. City Pharma is a few blocks away and has a great selection of skincare. Prices were consistent with other pharmacies, and the staff even helped me complete the paperwork for my tax refund. As for the one con, while there are a couple of chain stores, most of the boutiques in this area are very high end. If you are coming to Paris for shopping and are not looking to spend a fortune, this might not be the best area for that. That said, my husband and son are all about food, so they were thrilled. They also love watches, and were happy to find a Seiko store just a few blocks away. I was happy too, but I do wish I had been able to treat myself a little more.

How anyone has rated this horrible hotel anything other than just plain awful mystifies me. I checked in and had booked myself a single "business" room. Big mistake whatever you do, do not choose this option. The hotel is very dark, why? So you cannot see the atrocious neglect throughout the entire hotel. Walls were damaged and dirty, furniture worn out and that's before you get in the room which was almost inaccessible as the door opened literally onto the downward facing staircase only to have to tug my suitcase up stairs into the smallest hotel room I have ever seen in Paris, and I go annually. I always try new places and this one was a huge mistake. The bathroom had black mold around the shower, the headboard desk and chair were terribly worn. The only saving grace was the A/C worked. The staff was surly, arrogant and rude. When commenting on the state of my room I was told "they are all like that!" Nothing could drag me back here.

Location, location, location. Very quaint, well kept boutique hotel on the Left Bank. Rooms are very small (my double executive barely had room to walk around the bed), and the small lobby area is dark and a bit cramped, but the location is fantastic in the middle of the 6th.

My husband and I were very happy with our 4 night stay at Hotel Odeon Saint-Germain. The hotel is located in an excellent neighbourhood full of restaurants, shops and is walking distance to the majority of attractions. The hotel itself is older, but very well maintained. The rooms are small, but comfortable, clean and quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good - fresh croissants, breads, cheeses, yogurts, etc. We would be happy to stay at Hotel Odeon again when we return to Pairs.

We decided to stay at Hotel Odeon since we wanted to be in St. Germain during our short stay in Paris. We were a little lost trying to get here the first time since it is off of a small street, but it is conveniently located to lots or restaurants and bars, as well as the subway station. The hotel itself is not very big, but was definitely Parisian in feel inside. We had a room on the top floor (5th), and took the tiny elevator all the way up. We stayed in a suite, which was nicely appointed. The bathroom could have been bigger, but this is Europe. Off to the side, there was a small sitting area with a desk. The front desk was able to provide us with the necessary electricity converters, so that was appreciated. We did not eat at the hotel, so I can't comment about that, but the breakfast offerings each morning looked good. As I stated before, there are tons of restaurants and cafes around the hotel, so you'll have plenty of choices for food and drink. Overall, we had a good stay at Hotel Odeon (other than the fact that the elevator wasn't working on our check-out day so we had to walk down the 5 flights of narrow stairs with our luggage).

My wife and i stayed here 9/2-9/6/13 for our honeymoon. I emailed the hotel weeks before arrival to see if they offered any honeymoon specials or something I could surprise my wife with. I got a form email in response telling me of tours I could book. It was like they didn't even read the email. Should have seen this as a sign of things to come Lets start out with the positive: the location. The location is excellent and close to Notre Dame, Saint Michel and the odeon metro. That's it. The rest of this review is negative First, there is no parking and you are told to park at the public lot down the street which is 40euro a day and the parking structure is horrible with tiny stalls. The hotel is small and has a very dark feel to it. The staff at check in was friendly and the maids were friendly but that is where their service stops. Our room for $200 a night was tiny. The bed was hard and our tv did not work. When calling down to the front desk to tell about the TV, the phone cord ripped out of the phone. Our lights flickered constantly in our bathroom and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The petit breakfast for 14euro isn't worth 5euro and just another example of this hotel sticking it to their customers. This was just the tip of the iceberg though. One of the days we left the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door only to come back the the sign gone and our room partially made up. Partially because they made the bed but didn't replace our towels or anything. When i complained that our room was entered, their response was that I should have told the front desk that I didn't want them to go in. I replied that's what the sign on the door said. They insisted I was Wrong!!!' And when i went downstairs later to talk to a manager, the night manager threw his Hands up in the air and said "I don't know, I wasn't here" This place is a joke and their customer service is terrible. Way overpriced and they like to tell customers how wrong they are. I expected privacy and got snooping staff instead. Will never return!!

I recently spent six nights at the Hotel Odeon Saint-Germain while in Paris for my 50th birthday. A lot of pre-planning went into the trip in order to secure restaurant reservations, hair appointments, spa treatments, etc. The staff at the hotel were amazing!! They truly went out of their way to accommodate all of my requests and helped me secure a number of hard to get dinner reservations and spa appointments. I changed my mind on a number of the hair and spa locations, and they were very accommodating and helpful assisting me with cancellations and rebooking. I come to Paris a lot and have stayed at many hotels in the 6th and 7th arrondissements and can honestly say that the service at the hotel provided by the staff far surpasses that of any other hotel. Everyone is friendly, professional and helpful and go out of their way to help you any way that they can. The location of the hotel cannot be beat, especially if you love shopping and dinning in the 6th or 7th. It's also extremely close and within walking distance to the Marais (4e), 1st and 8th, some of the major sites and museums (Notre Dame, Louvre, Musée d' Orsay), and a couple of Metro stops. You could not ask for a more convenient and centrally located hotel!! The rooms are super tiny, but clean. If you have allergies be sure to inform the front desk as they spray the room with a fragrance when they clean. I was amazed how quiet the rooms were!! A luxury relative to many I've stayed in. I can't recommend the hotel enough and look forward to staying there again the next time I am in paris.

After our three-night stay in Paris, my husband and I confirmed that we would stay at this hotel again, so I guess that is worth at least 3 stars. The fourth is for the location, which I know has nothing to do with the hotel, but we just absolutely loved the combination of the daytime shops and quiet, winding streets with the nighttime energy of the bars and restaurants. The hotel is small and there is no impressive lobby or welcome area--you can literally see the front desk (which is really just a desk) from the door. But the decor is warm and charming and the staff is mildly friendly in that reserved, non-American way, and they all seemed to speak enough English to answer any questions we had. Stowing our luggage before check-in meant simply lining up our bags next to the desk and when we came in late at night from a street with more than a few drunken students stumbling around we merely opened the unlocked door and gave our name to the person at the desk, so don't expect high security (although there was a safe in our room, so at least we knew our passports and laptop were tucked away). Speaking of our room, it was down a narrow hallway and up a curved flight of stairs off of the dining area. We never saw much of the rest of the hotel, so I'm not sure how much bigger it really was. I actually loved our room. It was tiny, but cozy and every nook and cranny seemed to be filled so it felt warm and lived-in. The bathroom was modern with, again, great use of space. A stall shower with sliding glass doors and a slippery bottom made things a little more interesting, but luckily neither of us ever wiped out. L'Occitane toiletries and a heated towel rack were nice touches. To all you firm mattress lovers out there, this might not be the place for you. Our bed was soft, like marshmallow soft, and even though we slept well, my husband definitely had some aches in his back after a couple of nights on that thing. My only complaint about the room was that the walls seemed paper thin. Luckily, though, there was only one time when this was a problem; we were so exhausted most nights that we slept through everything (including our alarm on the last morning, but that's another story...). Breakfast each morning included pain au chocolate and coffee, so I really didn't care what else was available--what else does a girl need? It was quiet and relaxing and I could have sat in that little dining room reading for hours. Alas, a short vacation to Paris should not be spent inside a hotel, no matter how warm the atmosphere.

Wonderful location, cozy comfortable & clean rooms. Great showers. Quiet street. Very friendly & helpful staff. Breakfast looked wonderful but we preferred to grab a crepe on the street. Can't wait to stay there again!

Our favorite hotel to stay in when visiting Paris. My wife and I just recently returned from our anniversary trip to Paris and enjoyed yet another stay at Hôtel Odéon Saint Germain. The location is unbeatable and such a close walk to great cafes and shops. The staff is friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We will be staying here for all of our future trips to Paris.

I am at this hotel now. Cozy European rooms - for sure. But comfortable. The staff here is *very* helpful and dispenses great info. Wonderful location on the left bank. Great restaurants and bars. My husband and I relax every night after dinner in the hotel lounge area. So friendly.

Wonderful and charming hotel. My husband and I spent almost a week there on our honeymoon and loved it. Our room was small and beautiful and the staff was SO helpful and nice. Hotel is within walking distance of major sites like Notre Dame and Saint Michael, but there is also plenty of small local eateries and shops nearby. I would absolutely recommend this to any traveling couple looking for a quaint romantic hotel in Paris. The staff is as amazing as the hotel.

We stayed there for a night when i was visiting Paris the room was extremely small and dark, the bed was uncomfortable and the price was too high, and it's not four stars hotel at all.

We stayed at the Odeon Saint Germain for five nights on our honeymoon. The location was perfect, the staff was friendly and helpful and the decor was very nice. The breakfast room was very quaint. We enjoyed our stay there and are both very happy that we picked this hotel.
