This hotel was amazing. Had all the necessities. Blow dryer. Shampoo. Conditioner. They even had converters just asl the receptionist. There was a laundry mat down the st which was perfect since we were coming back from Italy. Around the corner there were also so many cafés. There was even a farmers market. All walking distance. And of Couse just a few blocks away from Notre-Dame Cathedral. Staff were so helpful.

A little more out of the way but excellent bus system. The breakfast spread everyday was very well done. Not sure how there was a disconnect between Expedia and the hotel but our street side balcony rooms booked for 9 nights turned out to be w a view of a poorly maintained interior courtyard, basically viewing a sky roof over the lobby w 1st floor rooms. Very disappointing. And the Expedia chat feature gets no replies from the property when asking for early check-in. That was my error a detail o overlooked but resulted in waiting 4 hours for room after a flight from North America. Back start to the 10 day time in Paris. We got on track and appreciated what the Hotel offered!

We really enjoyed our stay, the whole hotel is air conditioned and beautifully cool even in a heat wave. The reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the location is excellent. Lots of restaurants and cafes around but the hotel and street are very quiet. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was great, the room was really nice and well appointed, and it also had air conditioning, which was a bonus…the breakfast was good with a good variety. The location was fantastic, close to a lot of restaurants and shops, but far enough away that it was still a quiet area. One thing to note, there is a church across the street that rings their bells a lot in the mornings, we got used to it, but if you wanted to sleep in, it could be an issue… We would recommend this hotel!

This was a very nice hotel. There was a heat wave and the air conditioning in the room was excellent. It did break the last day but it was cooler by then. Breakfast is very good.
The location is busy, somewhat noisy with many students from the Sorbonne plus alot of tourists. There are bakeries, restaurants, etc right near by. THe hotel is very close to the Seine and no more than a 10 minute walk from Notre Dame.
My only concern is that it was not that close to a useful metro stop. There is one a block or so away but it did not go anywhere we needed. We always needed to walk about 10 minutes to the Jussieau station. (You could change trains to go to the closer one).
I would have preferred staying closer to a good station since we were using the metro several times a day.

The Oratio is in a wonderful location in Saint-Germain, within walking distance to restaurants, charming bakeries, the metro, the Latin Quarter, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and more.

We stayed 3 nights in a balcony room and really enjoyed having coffee outside in the mornings with the sunshine. After our tour, we also stayed 2 nights in a superior room. Both rooms were cozy and comfortable.

The front desk staff was wonderful — always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. There is also a complimentary 24/7 coffee and tea station with several selections available, which was a nice touch.

One thing to note during our May stay was that the air conditioning was not available. We later learned you can request a fan for better air circulation if you prefer not to keep the window or balcony door open because of some street noise.

“We loved our stay at The Oratio and would happily stay there again for the wonderful location and exceptional staff.”

Alert! If you are at all sensitive to hot temperatures, don’t stay here! Although it says it is air conditioned, that is very misleading. The air conditioning cannot be turned on until the heat is turned off for good. The days were in the 80’s F and apparently at some point there might be a cold snap, so they would not turn off the heat and switch to air conditioning. Also, when the air conditioning finally is turned on, it is controlled by the front desk for all units at once. When you open the windows to attempt to get some air in the stuffy rooms (no fan in bathrooms), there are no screens, so we got a flood of bugs! Be prepared not to sleep if you can’t when it’s hot. Also, way too loud to keep windows open the whole night.
Now, for the good, the cleaning staff is very good and make sure they do a good job. The breakfast is wonderful, as is the hostess that works it. Delicious fresh French pastries every day. Espresso machine at breakfast and also complimentary in honor bar, with a water dispenser with chilled water. Trust me when I say this is a rarity in Paris. Location is excellent.

Complimentary coffee and water were such a thoughtful touch and truly appreciated.

The staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and helpful. A special thank you to Adam at the front desk, who was absolutely phenomenal and graciously helped me with my three pieces of luggage.

I was hesitant to write this review, but unfortunately this hotel was horrible, especially given the high prices. We paid extra for a “superior” room, but it was cramped, uncomfortable, and not well maintained. After raising concerns about cleanliness, room condition, and jointed twin bed, a staff member inspected the room and dismissed our complaints. The bed was extremely hard, leaving me with back pain after the first night. The walls had no soundproofing - we could hear church bells and every voice nearby. These are just a few of the many issues before we checked out early.
