Hôtel Saint-André des Arts

We stayed at the hotel for three nights in late June this year, during one of the many heat waves. The room was lovely and big, with a nice spacious bathroom. Everything was clean. They knew we were coming with a kid and left a little coloring book for us which I thought was a nice touch. The front desk staff were kind and polite. We didn’t do breakfast but it seemed nice when we popped our head in to have a look. Recommended highly.

We enjoyed the service and hospitality at this hotel. Everyone working there was so pleasant and helpful. The amenities were great with umbrellas, waters, and converters available all of the time. The room was a King Superior and definitely was tight given that we stayed for 5 nights and had a weeks worth of luggage. There were very few places for luggage or to store things, but the bed was large and comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. I think the room would benefit so much from more storage space. The location is absolutely amazing and could not be any better. The area is so lively and fun at night with gorgeous pubs and restaurants surrounding it in every direction. Notre Dame and the Saint Michel Metro are a quick and safe 5 min walk from the hotel which made it so easy to access and get all around the city. The RER B train to the airport is also located in the same short walk as the metro making is so convenient to access the airport. This hotel is overall beautiful and so much fun. I would highly recommend it for a couple traveling to Paris !

Exceptional Stay in the Heart of Paris! We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. The rooms were spotless, modern, and very comfortable. Every morning began with a delicious breakfast—fresh, varied, and satisfying. Best of all, the location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Paris, with easy access to major attractions, charming cafés, and metro stations. For the quality and service, it was also great value for money. Highly recommended!

Everything was great but I never figured out how to use the phone (from America). There was an alarm that went off at 10 PM and I had to call with my cell to see what it meant. It was a false alarm for a smoke detector tripping the fire alarm. Also, we put the ‘do not disturb’ sign on our doorknob and the maid still walked in. Everything else was great. Breakfast was yummy and included. I would stay here again!

The hotel is in an excellent location, with a great selection of cafés and restaurants just outside the door. It’s also within easy walking distance to the metro, the Louvre, and Saint Germain — so in terms of convenience, the location is hard to beat. However, the rooms vary significantly in size and layout, which can be a real drawback. Our friends were initially given what was quite possibly the smallest hotel room we've ever seen — barely enough space to move around, and facing directly onto a brick wall. Our own room was more spacious, but it was located up a flight of stairs which wasn't ideal for carrying luggage. The sloped ceiling created a disorienting feeling, and the bathroom featured only a handheld shower over a bath — not ideal, especially given the price point. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. While travelling alone with three children, I had to carry heavy luggage down stairs unaided, as staff looked on without offering help. I also requested assistance with a restaurant reservation, but received no follow-up until I chased them — only to be told they couldn’t secure a booking. While the location is outstanding, the inconsistent room quality and lack of basic hospitality service made this a disappointing stay overall.

We had our flight canceled at the last minute and ended up needing a place to stay on short notice - and I honestly can’t imagine a better place to land than Hôtel Saint-André des Arts. Silvia, the manager, was incredible. She went out of her way to help us in every possible way, and did it all with such warmth and kindness. It wasn’t just about the logistics - she really made us feel looked after during a pretty stressful moment. The hotel itself is beautiful and cozy, with so much character, and in a perfect location. But what really made it stand out was the level of care and attention we received. I’ll definitely be coming here in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. Thanks again, Silvia - you were a lifesaver!

Loved it. Hotel is a bit of a quirky boutique that is in an awesome location. Staff was great. Rooms were very clean. We would definitely stay there again. We had rooms 1 & 2 which were good size and behind an additional security door

Great hotel in a perfect location! Very close to excellent restaurants, bars and stores, yet pretty quiet and in a safe neighborhood. We stayed for 5 nights as a couple in the cocoon room. It was pretty small, but had anything we needed. The hotel staff are very welcoming, the hotel is beautifully designed and we had a great experience. I would definitely go back to this hotel

So much to say here. There are not a lot of reviews here but a friend and I went with our gut instincts and booked nights here simply based on the retro vibe/decor we loved about this hotel, just from looking the photos online. It truly did not disappoint. Immediately upon checking in, we realized this is a PRIME part of town. 6th Arrondissement is SO vibrant, with so much action right out the doorstep. My stay was extremely comfortable: nice, clean, comfortable room and felt safe there 24/7. Service was impeccable: Charles check us in, and we interacted with Antoine in the evening. Both fantastic. Charles actually directed me to one of the best dinners I've had in quite awhile: Le Colvert just down the block. Also, even prior to our arrival, the hotel management reached out with a questionnaire via e-mail to see if we needed any recommendations in the neighborhood, which they swiftly provided. It was a nice touch. We were pleasantly surprised with how wonderful breakfast was as well. We opted for the Formule Complete which was fresh and delicious, and service was great too. All the amenities you would expect from a hotel, but with the intimate charm that comes with a boutique hotel. I don't think I'll ever go back to a large chain hotel when traveling. To the entire staff of Hotel Saint-Andre des Arts, thank you for making the first half of my trip to Paris so wonderful. 3 nights of bliss and comfort. I will definitely return.

Fantastic hotel. Rooftop bar, rooms, staff, location all perfect. Highly recommended!

Absolutely charming 4 star hotel in the heard of Saint Germain. Staff was lovely. Rooms clean - we had a family room in the mezzanine so no elevator, but our bags were carried up when we arrived, and down when we left. The hotel is eclectic. The "lobby" is like a small living room with a record player and vinyl records and there is always a pitcher of water with citrus fruit in it; the colors and decoration are evocative of the 1960s; they do have music playing and it's all the great songs and rock groups from the 1960s. Breakfast is a buffet and acceptable. I didn't see any of the rooms in the main part of the hotel (which has an elevator). The draw here is service, location, and a wonderful level of nostalgia. Sorry folks, no photos.

I booked this hotel with realistic expectations, knowing there was no elevator and that the building is quite old. Even so, we were incredibly disappointed by the poor upkeep and unclean conditions. Our first night was fine; we requested a lower level room and were placed on the second floor (up two levels of a crooked, narrow, steep staircase). We were surprised to find that although I was told there was air conditioning, there was not. On the second night, we returned to the hotel to find that our room had no electricity. I went to the front desk, and was told that they knew there was no electricity in our room. Why didn't they tell us when we got our key? Why didn't they attempt to fix it? A cultural difference, I know, but nothing was done to remedy the situation until I asked. I was told nothing could be done, but they could move us to a 3rd floor room the next night. They offered to move us to another hotel for just that night, but the difficulties of moving back and forth with no help stopped us. They didn't even have a flashlight to lend us for the night. The next day, however, there were leaking pipes in all the 3rd floor rooms, and the only available room was on the 4th floor. I have one weak knee, and the help I was promised moving our luggage up the two additional floors never appeared. When we got the key, it was bent and didn't work. It was the only key the staff had for the room, and we could not lock our room for two days until a manager finally arrived at the hotel and located another key. There was dust under the beds, the dressers and tables weren't wiped clean upon arrival or daily, and we had an issue with some type of biting insect in our 4th floor room. It looked to me like spider bites; very itchy, red and painful. All carpets were incredibly filthy. The hotel did adjust our rate because of all the problems, but I'm unsure if was adequate compensation; for a more sensitive traveler, all this could have ruined a trip. I used it as a teaching moment about cultural differences and smiled, but the truth is that my kids and I dreaded returning to this hotel at the end of each long day. Keep in mind: no air conditioning. No elevator. No televisions, radios or even clocks in the rooms.

I found this place via TripAdvisor, and it worked out pretty well. All in all, a good stay for a good price. The hotel is within short walking distance of several stopping points: the Seine, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Shakespeare & Co., and Luxembourg Gardens are 10 to 15 minutes away by foot. It's also a short walk to the Saint-Michel metro stop, from which you can get pretty much anywhere. The hotel is not in the quietest area, if that's what you're looking for: there is a bar next door, and rue St-Andre-des-Arts and the nearby streets are all pretty active at night. On the other hand, you are down the street and around the corner from a lot of cafes, wine bars, shops, and restaurants. The rooms are of good size and pretty clean. The stairs can be a little steep. There is a simple but satisfying breakfast service: rolls, jam, butter, coffee, tea. It's enough to get you ready for some walking. Plus, the lobby isn't very large, so you get to meet some of the other people from the hotel (if you want). The front-desk workers are engaging and helpful--we spoke with them almost every time we went through the lobby. They were attentive, and when random people showed up (like some drunk girls who thought they got to the bar next door by walking up the hotel stairs), whoever was at the front desk immediately approached them. It made us feel more comfortable that the hotel was safe. The rest of the staff was also very nice.

Staff are nice , as was the breakfast. I stayed there 4 times.. Summer, rooms are hot but they have fans.. Street is very noisey , so it is best to stay on week days than week ends. Rooms are nice.. I understand they are renovating hotel, so another landmark hotel will become expensive and less character.. oh well

First let me apologize for not taking a picture of this little place. I meant to, I really did! Maybe it's because every time I came/left I had had too much wine. Maybe. This is an adorable, adorable little place tucked in a random location that has an amazing vibe. Love, love, loved the neighborhood (as well as the hotel). You can't really book this place online, you've gotta give them a ring. They are a little stuck in the non-internet age... but that's what makes it so cute. The rooms are small, but quiet. They have a decent shower, decent bed and pillows, and decent breakfast (which is included and set up in the main reception area in the mornings). There are some great restaurants nearby and the metro is just a couple blocks away. For sure I'd recommend this place to anyone going to Paris - and will definitely book again next time I'm in town. Hope it's soon... missing Paris already (maybe not the prices).

A little gem nestled in the heart of the Latin Quarter. It's a lovely historic building near excellent restaurants in the vicinity. It is within walking distance to 2 of the most famous bistros in Paris, "Les Deux Magots" and "Café Flore" near the Saint-Germaine-des-Pres. A great location to revisit where the writers and artists of the "Lost Generation," such as Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, George Antheil and Man Ray spent a great deal time. It's also near the Musée D'Orsay that is housed in an impressive Beaux-Arts railway station and Notre Dame Cathedral. The hotel has a warm family feel to it. The rooms are big with high ceilings, and exposed original beams. It is a very old building with no elevator. Still the hike to your room is bearable. It is a great value for the Latin Quarter. You should be paying a lot more to stay in this area of Paris.

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Paris France this year. My friend and I stayed at Hotel St. Andre. It is a quaint hotel that apparently housed the Musketeers at one point! Some say there are a few of their spirits still residing there. We were on the third floor - note there are no elevators! We worked off our daily ..yes daily...éclairs each day. The stairs are uneven and spiral up towards each floor. I loved the feel of the hotel - it just oozes history. Our bedroom had two double beds, a three piece bathroom and a little desk and wardrobe. They have free wifi and no tv - who needs tv while visiting Paris?! Our room was facing a tiny courtyard that was connected to the neighbouring building - you can get rooms that face the street but be prepared for the noise - people are out and about well into the night having fun. There is a simple continental breakfast each day that consists of fresh baguette and tea/coffee or hot chocolate. The baguettes are simply amazing...you wouldn't think that a few pieces of bread would fill you up but it sure does - we weren't hungry again until lunch. All of the staff is very friendly and most of them speak English really well - they can point you in the direction of tourist attractions and places to buy tickets if need be. The rooms are cleaned each day - not exactly cleaned perfectly - much dust under the beds - but they were tidy enough for me. The beds were surprisingly comfortable! I tend to hate the beds in hotels but I slept like a log each night ....maybe from jet lag ...not sure. It is just down the street from Starbucks and many delicious places to eat...best pizza i've ever had to be honest. This isn't a high class hotel by any means but for the price it was the perfect location and place to lay our heads each night. Thank you Hotel St Andre des Arts for the wonderful week!
