Select Hotel

This is such a lovely hotel, perfectly located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, in a safe area of Paris, close to Luxemburg Gardens, Pantheon, Sorbonne, St Michel, Cluny Museum, etc||I had a "small double". It would be a tight squeeze for two people, but perfect for one. Lovely renovated room, with sparkling modern bathroom and powerful, easy-to-operate shower with copious hot water. Coffee machine in room. Daily efficient room servicing||The staff at reception are exceptional---so warm and welcoming, always a smile, always willing to help. Walking into the hotel as a guest is a lovely experience||Breakfast cost €16 . There was a cheese board, a charcuterie board, different breads, plus croissants, cakes, honey, natural yoghurts, chopped fruit in juice, cereals, tea, selection of coffees, etc ||Two minutes from the hotel (going towards Rue Soufflot) is a little shop where you can pick up water and fruit, etc||One point : I was flying home from Orly Airport. I decided to use a taxi, as all the online information said there was a strictly-enforced fixed rate of €36 for a taxi from the Left Bank of the city to Orly airport. Which seemed like good value to me. The hotel called me a taxi. The journey to the airport was fast in light traffic. It took less than a half hour. Imagine my surprise when I was charged €60 for the trip. It appears that the taxis the hotel engages have a fixed rate of €55||So be warned.||On the other hand, if you fly into Charles de Gaulle Airport, you can take the RER Line B directly from the airport to the Luxemburg stop. The stop is two minutes from the hotel. Very convenient.||I highly recommend this hotel, especially for its charming, helpful and welcoming staff. I had a lovely stay in the Select.

Conveniently located in the Latin Quarter. Eclectic style, very nicely done common areas. There was sculpture in the nice large bathroom, books on a shelf where a desk work/catch-all is, art on the wall. They serve a buffet breakfast with the price of the room that was pretty good, except for the powdered scrambled eggs. The Associates at the hotel were very helpful and kind. A special "shout out" for Laurent, who went above and beyond.

I was already there last year and it great to now that service is still high level. Very good hotel

We had a truly wonderful three-night stay at this hotel. The location is unbeatable, just minutes away from Notre Dame and the Sorbonne University, making it the perfect base for exploring the heart of Paris.||The decor is tasteful and elegant, and our room was a pleasant surprise—exceptionally clean, comfortable, and more spacious than your typical Parisian hotel room.||What really made our stay stand out, however, was the incredible staff. The reception team is professional, polite, and genuinely friendly. A special thank you to Laurent, Maria, and Yaseen for making us feel so welcome. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

We spent four nights here in a 'garret' room similar to the hotel's photo. It was delightful: atmospheric and plenty spacious enough with fully adequate storage, clean and quiet. However, the 'pièce de résistance' was the view of the roofs of the Sorbonne university opposite. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly, greeting us as warmly as the open fire in the lobby whenever we arrived or left. Breakfast was adequate if a little overpriced but the two bistros immediately at hand were both fine. Les Patios, the further of the two, we found friendly and welcoming and worthwhile for any of the three meals in the day. As is so common mid-market in Paris these days, the food was not generally freshly cooked but served very quickly and was mostly quite enjoyable. Breakfast is good value and their omelettes at lunchtime are excellent.|The location of the hotel was excellent for us - in easy walking distance of Notre Dame, the Museum of Cluny, the Luxembourg Gardens (in summer) and just a few stops on the RER direct from the Gare du Nord.

I have just stayed in this lovely hotel for the last 3 nights. Room was super clean and there was a perfect amount of space. The hotel staff were lovely and accommodating from start to finish. The location is perfect if you want to explore the Latin quarter and get to and from the airport or other popular spots in Paris using the metro. Overall I would happily stay in this hotel again in the future.

We had a an absolutely wonderful stay here for a short city break. The hotel is is a very safe part of the city . A short 10 minute walk to Notre Dame and less than 5 minutes to the Pantheon . |The hotel is one of the most welcoming hotels I have stayed in , the staff could not have been more helpful they were all exceptionally friendly. The room was very warm and cosy with a very comfortable bed and a great view of place de Sorbonne. It was just perfect. |Great recommendations for restaurants from the hotel and a very short walk to so many great places to eat . Highly recommend ed and would definitely return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location was excellent near the University in the Quartier Latin - a perfect combination of lively but not too rowdy. Just a short walk away from the Jardin de Luxembourg and the Musée de Cluny as well as near a metro station. The atmosphere was very pleasant - relaxed, great decor but nothing over the top. Best of all were the staff - everyone was friendly, helpful, professional in every way. We would definitely stay there again and can highly recommend it.

This hotel is excellent from the location to the amenities it offers and the staff who are friendly and so helpful. Its right next to the Sorbonne and an excellent little cafe steps away. The room and bathroom are beautiful and well equipped. The staff were top notch. They were so helpful and friendly. I can't wait to return to Paris and stay at this American hotel.

On our recent stay in Paris, we decided to stay at a place that was near the heart of it all, so we chose the Select Hotel Rive Gauche. Upon checking in, we were greeted very warmly by Maria Teresa. The front desk staff was always very friendly and helpful. It is important to note that this is a boutique hotel, with rooms that may seem smaller by American standards, however, they are quite comfortable and the location can't be beat. Luxembourg Garden is less than a 10 minute walk as is Notre Dame. It is also very close to bus lines and the Metro as well was numerous dining options.

This hotel is at the best location possible in Paris. Walking distance from Notre Dame, le Louvre, Champs Elysée, Arche de Triomphe, Musée d'Orsay. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and small shops around. Very affordable, clean, beautiful and comfortable hotel. The rooms are spacious compared to other European hotels. The bathroom is large and well equipped. Also has a minibar, and enough space to put our clothes up for a week. There's a small desk and 2 comfy chairs. They provide two soft bathrobes and slippers. The hotel has a lovely bar and several cozy sitting areas to lounge. They allowed us to use the breakfast area to enjoy our own sandwiches a glass of wine with our friends. Last night I asked for a glass of wine and was able to sip on a nice glass of Bordeaux in my room. They have lemon water in the lobby all day long and also tea and pastries in the afternoon free of charge. The staff is very polite, they all speak English and are most helpful about finding the best activities around town. Highly recommend this place. 10/10.

Great location, amazing staff, most comfortable bed, shower with the most pressure! Highly recommend this hotel!

We booked a 'Standard Double Room(aka Small Cozy Room).' There are a lot to like about this hotel. The stylish decor, AC, WiFi, location, good size shower stall, full size shampoo & body wash, robes & slippers, well-lighted bathroom. However, they need to have usable outlets or USB plugs next to bed. There was only one outlet and it was being used by a lamp. They did have 2 USB plugs and 2 powers outlets by desk. The bathroom sink took a little getting use to. The mechanism to turn on water was a bit strange. The staff didn't impress me as being interested in your comfort, compared to other hotels. I looked at breakfast buffet options. It didn't look appetizing to me, so I didn't try it. Also, my room was on level 3. We couldn't find it. It wasn't listed on directory on wall when you step out of elevator. It's a weird room number. We went back down and a staff member had to escort us to our room. The room I have was small. But it was priced accordingly. It looked out onto atrium of building. Overall, I would give this hotel 3.75 stars.

Great location, nice rooms and staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

This was a great find, thanks to our travel agent. We took a train from Charles de Gaulle Airport and got off at Luxembourg station. The hotel was only a few minute walk away. Close proximity to Cluny-Sorbonne, Saint-Michel or Odeon metro stations and bus stations. Centrally located in Latin Quarter. Ten minutes walk to Notre Dame de Paris and a few minutes from Jardin du Luxembourg. Rooms are small, but modern. More importantly, beds are very comfortable and air conditioned! Extremely friendly and helpful staffs. When we return to Paris, we will definitely stay at this hotel again.

When I got off the plane, my feet were so swollen my shoes looked like they were baking a couple of brioche loaves. So it was essential for me to check in to the hotel to get some much needed rest and for my feet to deflate from their sad, bloated state. Upon arrival at Charles de Gaulle airport, we encountered our first rude French person in a surly cab driver who took one look at us and whipped off a quick, "Next cab for you" in dark, inscrutable Fringlish (English with thick French accent). The second cab driver came for us in roughly 45 minutes. Of course, it started to rain. Not a very auspicious beginning. We arrived at our hotel, checked in with a very friendly bell clerk who asked where we were from. We always say San Francisco, because really, I could say Union City and I might as well be saying "Buttmunch, Idaho" because I'd get the same blank stare. The French have a thing for San Francisco, perhaps because it engenders the same scorn from conservative middle America who thinks nothing good ever hails from the city of lights or the liberal hippies from that city of gays. Unfortunately, the room he assigned was not ready and I walked into a very unpleasant smelling and looking room. We informed, not complained, of the room's current state and received an apology but not a different room. We got the same room after being told to come back in 30 minutes. The brioche loaves in my shoes continued baking. I was a little disappointed to have received the same room; it was like seeing the before of the before and after picture. The room was the size of a thimble but who stays in their hotel room in Paris? Actually, everything was small: the elevator (Pru and I went in 2 separate trips); the tub--might as well bathe in your sink. But once again, you are in Paris. Only sleep in your room and enjoy the vast offerings of the city.

Bonjour! I'm freshly returned from belle Paris, and I had a lovely stay at Hotel Select. We paid under $200 Canadian per night thanks to an Expedia.com deal, an incredibly reasonable price, especially for the location. The Latin Quarter, particularly near La Sorbonne, isn't too touristy, but is walking distance from all a tourist could want. The 5ieme is old Paris charm at its best. Alley after alley of wine bar, cinema, world class restaurants and one-of-a-kind shops. If you're a Francofile considering a visit, this hood is for you! The room had a large tub, comfy bed, free wifi, robes and windows that open onto a beautiful little courtyard. Given you won't spend much time awake in your room in Paris, it's perfect... who needs a king bed and HBO when you have cobblestone streets, rosé champagne and all of the fromage?

Booked at this hotel for a first-time visit to Paris. I was blown away with how incredible our visit was. Our room was clean, and our view was exceptional--looking over the courtyard. The view was incredible!!! We felt as if we had a little alcove of Paris all to ourselves to experience the when we looked out our windows. the staff spoke English and was incredibly kind/courteous. I felt that they went out of their way to give us the best experience for our short stay, especially when we asked for bottle openers/irons/forgotten toiletries. I felt like our experience was exactly as advertised on TripAdvisor. Will upload pictures soon!

This is a wonderful find. Was drawn here first by Hotel Tonight but then paid full fare next night and only left because sold out. Rooms vary and staff made sure we got a bit bigger room than first assigned. Staff most helpful and friendly, but the very best part is the rain shower in our particular room. The water pressure is strong and this rain shower cures all that ales you. I have spent many years in baths on trips on several continents, but this is up there with the best.

I was really happy to find this hotel after some less than positive experiences at others. The rooms are stylish, there is a nice downstairs place to sit and work, free, good internet, friendly staff and a good price for paris (about $200 a night). I also really liked that the rooms have nice bath tubs and radios. Those were nice touches. You can't beat the location either. Right in the middle of the latin quarter. 2 mins from the Pantheon. Loved it!!!

Stolen Jewelry ! Please be aware It has taken me a while before attempting to write this. On our 15 anniversary trip we chose Paris and this small hotel. On the last day my engagement ring and Movado necklace was stolen from our room ! I Repeat I did NOT MISPLACED IT or LOSE IT, I knew exactly where I left it .and even saw it that Morning.,35 min later after leaving . We called hotel they sent their cleaning lady and miraculously DISAPPEARED !! I was told not to call Police !!!! Please go home . Needless to say we missed our flight , filed police report !!! Response HOTEL after emailing them a few times; we are NOT responsible for anything in the room unless it's in the safe ! So please choose another hotel that will ensure your safety and belongings !!!!! And will have HONORABLE STAFF.

The Select Hotel Rive Gauche is a 4 Star Hotel in a great area of the Latin Quarter. The area is quite and centrally located with easy access to Il de la Cite and San Germain. The upscale room was nice but smaller than I had anticipated especially since it was marketed for up to 3 people (one of which would have to be a child to fit on the couch/bed). The bathroom was spectacular with two sinks and a great shower. The breakfast buffet was just OK especially considering the 4 Star rating and the fact that one pays extra for the buffet. Buffet selections were limited and the overall layout was confusing. Overall if the Hotel had been cheaper I would have given it 4 star rating but considering the price, the small room, and the extra paid for breakfast I give it 3 stars.
