The entire staff were all very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They were very attentive to any requests we had and helped us book a taxi to the airport. The location was great, close to the louvre and Notre Dame. We were able to get the Toot Bus and take it all around town and see all the places we wanted. The mobility accesible room we had was perfect, my daughter’s room was on the smaller side but worked for the 3 days we were there. All around great place, very clean and everyone was extremely nice and helpful.

Location and price were excellent. We paid about $200 a night (booked room 3 months before trip). Just across from the Luxembourg gardens; metro a few steps away. Step out of building and turn left, and a few blocks away you'll find all kinds of awesome restaurants. Step out and turn right, and within a few blocks, you'll find Luca's--another excellent restaurant!

The hotel, rooms and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The black out curtains were a boon at night.

Our only complaint was a slight sewage smell in the bathroom when we first arrived--noticeable but not overpowering, and again surprising because the bathroom was spotless. So maybe this has to do with sewage issues in general in Paris? In any case, the cleaners opened our window to air out the room the next day while we were out and about, and that seemed to dissipate most of the odor.

Taxis were plentiful, though this is a pretty walkable area. About a mile and a half or so to Louvre, etc. We had planned to walk everywhere, but due to a back injury, ended up using Uber or taxis.

We did not have the hotel breakfast; we just popped into various bakeries (\"patisseries\") and every single one was lovely.

I would book again here, the initial odd scent notwithstanding, because the hotel is super clean, the staff helpful, the location perfect, and the price point manageable on a modest travel budget.

The Hotel des Mines is a wonderful place to stay in Paris. The rooms are very comfortable, and the little shower rooms are fine. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The hotel is also close to the delightful Luxembourg Gardens.
Our only regret is that the hotel doesn't have a kitchen. We enjoyed the breakfasts, but did walk down the boulevard a couple of times to have a hot breakfast. I would happily stay at the Hotel des Mines again!

Property was great for what we paid. The hotel is smaller/boutique. Not everything is renovated. We ended up with a room for 3 people cause we came too early for check in and came back after 5/6pm. There were some water damage on the wall and dust on the shelves I had to clean myself. Overall it was an okay stay. Some staff were helpful but some came off odd, possibly the language barrier, we don’t speak French. I picked the hotel due to its location, luggage storage as back up and they serve breakfast for a fee as early as 7am.

For starters I booked a triple room “double and twin bed”. We had a double bed and a rollaway bed. I do not find that acceptable when it’s not what I requested. Our rather tall son wasn’t thrilled with it either. He had a proper bed in our London hotel and in Brugge.

A large screw fell out of the door handle to the bathroom just after we went to our room. We handed it over at the front desk expecting it to be fixed. No! We were left with a door handle partially coming off.

The drainage in the bathroom seemed to troublesome. The shower wouldn’t drain and kept flooding. My husband decided to try and fix it himself as he thought it would be pointless telling the front desk. He shoved the hose of the hand held shower down it to clear the blockage and voila - it didn’t flood anymore! No more black gunky bits swirling around our feet.
The sink wouldn’t drain properly either. Took forever.

No replenishment of bottled water in the room either.

2 star hotel.

It was literally a 2 star hotel. So don’t expect much. From check in you can tell that it is really outdated. Everything dusty and old. The elevator was so small that you barely fit in there with your luggage and family. I know Europe is small rooms, etc. but this elevator was smaller than a shower. The room only had one power outlet in the bathroom. Hard to charge our phones. The bathroom toilet was almost right up against the wall. I had to turn sideways so that my knees wouldnt hit the wall while using it. There was a huge weird looking stain on the carpet. It is very convenient if you are coming from the RER B line but I would not stay here again.

Let me preface this by saying that we knew this was going to be a very basic hotel with few amenities. We chose it because it was close to the train station and in close proximity to places of interest.

When we arrived we were greeted by the front desk person who quickly checked us in and gave us our key. The elevator was exceptionally small. I would have preferred to take the stairs but couldn’t find them. The room was outdated but seemed clean. We immediately tried to turn on the ac but it wouldn’t work. Unfortunately, it was an unusually hot few days in Paris and we were on the top floor. The room was hot! We brought it to the attention of 2 of the front desk people hoping that someone would come look so it. We were told that they knew it wasn’t working and there was nothing they could do...not even a fan. Needless to say we weren’t very happy but there was nothing to be done. We still enjoyed our time in Paris and will return again...but stay at a different hotel.

My wife and I booked a double room for a quick stay in Paris. The location is great and the staff is friendly. That's it.

We know were settling for a simpler, more dated establishment but our room was nothing like the photos featured online. The room was so small it could barely fit the bed. We literally had to take turn moving around the bed to get to the bathroom. The shower was narrow as a coffin. I had to be careful not to break the showers glass walls with my elbows. The carpet was old and needed to be replaced.

Spend the extra bucks and go somewhere else. Even Jason Bourne had better digs than this.

I found this hotel through random internet searching and am so happy with this find. We were 2 blocks from the RER train from the airport and 5 blocks from a metro stop. The room was mignon and small but had all we needed for a great night's sleep to get ready for the next day of sightseeing. Bathroom was newly remodeled and lovely. We took advantage of the available 10 Euro continental breakfast on the last day and it was a great deal. Not a ritzy location but safe and so convenient to many great sights in the Latin Quarter.

Our room at Les Mines was worn out and needed renovation. The carpeting needed to be replaced. The shower had mold spots which could have been easily removed with some effort. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable, but the room was too warm for our comfort. The air conditioning was locked to a pre-set temperature and would not cool down the room. We could hear the underground RER trains rumble past every 10 minutes from the third floor, which was unexpected. The hotel was undergoing renovations, so maybe things will improve in the future.
