Perfect quiet location but walking distance to the centre. Also lots of nice restaurants and bars locally. Some reviews mentioned small rooms but they were good size for us, it is Paris so don't expect huge rooms in these sort of hotels. We had a great stay, would definitely come back.

6 étages et l'ascenseur en panne constante... Clim controlée centralement , ce qui pose problème, ménage de la chambre pas fait si vous vous levez tard. Finalement vue superbe sur les arènes romaines de Paris, mais on y projetait des films en plein air le soir, donc ne pensez pas dormir avant minuit. Personnel aimable et avenant.

This hotel is in a great area in the 5th arrondissement and Latin Quarter. Within walking distance of many popular attractions. It had a great shower, decent AC, and the nicest people working the front desk. Behind the hotel is an ancient Roman arena ruin, which held a loud concert during the summer solstice while we were there. That’s not the hotel’s fault but do be aware. The beds are comfy. My only issue was that we could not find any electrical outlets anywhere except the bathroom and behind the TV. There is a pharmacy nearby, many fun cafes, two great boulangeries (we loved Maison Gaumer) and a metro stop.

We are grateful for the air conditioning during the heat wave in Paris. Thanks to booking with Expedia, I assume the proprietor put us in their least desirable room in the attic, under the zinc roof during a record breaking heatwave. After our check in, we were cheerfully told that the elevator was out of order. So we have to climb 7 flights of stairs- every time we want to leave the room. I know the management are not responsible for the weather, but I will be avoiding this hotel in the future.

The staff at Hotel des Arenes were so welcoming, friendly and helpful in providing directions and suggestions on places to eat and visit. They went above and beyond! Also, the room was perfectly clean and comfortable, had a refrigerator and was extremely quiet and had a/c for sleeping. We loved the location of this hotel on Rue Monge as it is so close the Place Monge with the market several days/week to buy fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, etc. and there are many wonderful restaurants just down the block by the Cardinal Lemoine metro and also great patisseries/boulangeries to go for petit dejeuner. There is also a Carrefour conveniently located just diagonally across the street for other items you may want. We will happily return to this hotel on our next trip to Paris!

Breakfast is good, variety of choices. The area around the hotel is very clean, room very clean including bathroom, you have to bring your own toothpaste otherwise everyday clean towels, daily housekeeping, there’s enough cabinets to place your clothes. The only issue we encountered was AC was off on our second day of stay due to fire alarm but no fire. We didn’t need AC anyway room was cool enough. Most importantly the front desk staff did an excellent customer service no complaints with special mention to Jacob and Vincent. They attend right away to our needs including the room cleaners They’re all very pleasant, helpful and nice people. My husband and my 29y/o son stayed in this hotel for 5 days. Hotel very close to train stations, convenient store, lots of eating places, walking distance to Notre dame. This hotel is recommendable. Worth your money. Can go back again when in Paris

Great location for 5th Arr and Latin quarter. Pantheon, notre Dahm, Luxembourg gardens and markets all walkable in 10-20 min. Some restaurants right down stairs our the door. The staff is ultra helpful. Room standard but nice. Does have ac which was a big plus as they have been having a heat wave. The only negative for us was the elevator was out and we were on the 4th floor so had to walk up and down with luggage and ourselves every time. We checked in Tuesday and checked out Thursday but no repair. They had tried to get someone and that company kept delaying coming. So it would have been really much better for us with all the walking around Paris if that were operational. Otherwise staff is ultra friendly. They have a luggage storage and staff are very helpful all the way around.

We love this property. The small Roman arena is directly behind the hotel and though our room was small, being able to look out on all the activity in the arena during the day and still be able to open a window at night to enjoy a breeze and the quiet (the arena is closed from about 8 p.m.) makes this a very special place to stay in Paris. Excellent location. Good metro service and lively neighborhood. The guys at the front desk are friendly and helpful too. All in all, a great Paris experience.

Four lovely days in Paris

Unfortunately our first room was less than ideal as I cannot climb into a hip bath. Perhaps should have mentioned this but did not expect to find this.
However the reception staff were amazing and found an alternative.
All of the staff were efficient and friendly but Jacob made our stay special he was very well informed, had a sense of humour and cared that we were enjoying our visit and helping us to navigate the city

Well located

The staff are what makes this hotel special. My room had a very odd half bath tub that made it hazardous to shower in.The tub was grooved and slanted, just not made for average people- maybe a children’s tub? At any rate the neighborhood was lively, with good restaurants nearby, metro and buses were convenient as well. I think overall the facility itself was just tired. The front desk was well staffed with exceptional employees, and that says a lot in Paris

Not fancy but a Good option for location and price

Enjoyed the location. Walkable to Notre Dame area and close to several metro stops. Weekly market nearby. Elevator and stairs available to access the rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Quiet and safe feeling street at night. The room itself was comfortable and clean, but not freshly remodeled or decorated. It is not luxury but a very good option for location and for the price.

This is a small European hotel which is a bargain at the price. What makes it excellent is the kind and helpful staff. The location is superb. Don’t miss the Roman arena which the hotel is directly attached to. It is quiet and I slept well. The bathtub/shower is funky but not a big deal. There’s a cute cafe/restaurant next door that is inexpensive but the food and service are both good. There’s a carrefour grocery store 2 minute walk away. Small refrigerator in the room and kettle in the lobby. Very convenient to metro stations. I would definitely stay here again. It’s not luxurious but the staff make it special.

Pleasant hotel in the Quartier Latin

Centrally located hotel in the Quartier Latin close to the Pantheon, Notre-Dame, Palais de Luxembourg, the Grande Mosquée, and many other sites. My single room was relatively small, but ok, had a narrow window balcony, and a modern bathroom. The corner shower was hard to get into though, since it opened on the corner. Getting into the shower definitely required a stomach squeeze! The breakfast buffet was good and plentiful with a mix of cold and warm items, satisfying local and international travelers alike. All hotel employees were very friendly and helpful all the time. That was very much appreciated.
The hotel is located between two Metro stops (Pace Monge M7 and Cardinal Lemoine M10) and near several bus lines. A number of good restaurants is also nearby. I fully recommend the hotel.

The vow from our room our first time in Paris

Prime location, walked almost everywhere plus there’s two metro stations within a block either way, we had a laundromat and a pharmacy also a block away and shops and restaurants within walking distance, Our stay was a success we were very happy with the overall experience, our room was spacious, the bathroom a little tighter than we’re use to but nice and clean, with plenty of hot water, the front desk service and assistance top notch, and we enjoyed the breakfast spread as well.

The hotel was very nice, clean, quiet and everybody was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in 51 Rue Monge, 75005 Paris, France. The nearest metro station was 1/2 block away and was very convenient. What I liked more about the hotel were the employees, especially the administrators in the reception area. They were extremely friendly, ready to answer whatever questions I had. I had lots of interesting conversations with Vincent and Jacob. They catered to my needs like old friends during my 3-week stay. I am planning of combing back and staying at this hotel again in 2024. I highly recommend Hotel Des Arenes.

I will say that the very best part of this hotel is the location. We were able to have a very lovely few days in Paris because this was located in a good place. The bed was comfortable, and our window opened onto a large courtyard which was very picturesque. However, there wasn’t really a shower, more realistically a bath, which was a bit difficult to use at times. I would absolutely recommend this hotel!

This budget hotel is in a great location. The rooms are tiny, as usual for Paris, but have everything you need. I particularly appreciated the fridge, which let me keep snacks on hand. My only complaints are that the air conditioning was not turned on yet in late May, which meant I needed open windows = road noise every night. Also, expect functional rather than charming room decor. Think budget business hotel.

The property is located on the main road so you are very near to the eating joints and other shops and services. There is a superstore and pharmacy across the street.

The room was small but has almost everything you need like a mini fridge and a safe, almira, good beddings and a mini bathtub in the bathroom. If they can add an electric kettle in the room it will be great plus.

The metro station is also near by and notre dame is 15-20 mins walk away max.

The neighborhood seemed very safe and quiet but at night you you can hear some cars going by but it's not something which bothered us.

We only were able to talk to the people at the reception all of them very nice and polite. The gentleman at the time of the checkout was super friendly and offered us recommendations for the rest of our trip in france which was very helpful.

Overall very happy with stay will come back whenever I visit paris again.

Super friendly front desk staff. The location is terrific if you like a little walking or to use the Metro -- close to two lines and within a mile of a lot of the major sites.

Very clean, and kept clean every night, which is a little unusual post-COVID.

A little worn around the edges, maybe? Fewer outlets than a modern place and the comforter was a little frayed. Conversely the room was a little more spacious, very quiet, despite being directly over a fairly busy street.

Later checkout time was terrific, since I got to poke around the city some more and still come back for last minute things before heading out to the airport.

If you want someplace fancy? Go elsewhere. Want a clean, safe, central place staffed by nice folks? Worth every euro.

20th Anniversary Vacation

We really enjoyed Hotel des Arenes. Although a typically small French hotel room, it was basic but clean, the AC worked quite well. Location was fabulous with many shops and cafes around. The ancient Roman Lutece arena in the backyard (literally) was a fabulous place to sit and watch local kids play sports. The front desk staff were very accommodating. Breakfast, however, left a lot to be desired. Not very good. Taxis were easy to catch on rue Monge, but there were at least 3 nearby Metro stations. Not too far from Latin Quarter and St-Germain-des-Pres.
