Charming boutique hotel in great location (Odeon Theater next door; Luxembourg Gardens within a short block; a dozen or more very good restaurants and cafes within 1 to 2 blocks). Front desk clerks were extremely friendly and helpful. Downsides: Lots of deferred maintenance. Our room was charming - looked into the small but delightful courtyard - but very dated. We stayed here in 2008 and loved the room decor, which was almost the same this time, possibly the very same(?). All could stand replacing as long as that can be done without spoiling the charm. Elevator interior walls were completely beaten up; not a big deal, but if you see something like that obviously in need of repair, you have to wonder about the inner workings of the hotel that you don't see. We'd love to stay here again because of the location and charm but probably wouldn't unless these things were addressed.

Centrally and conveniently located within walking distance to all museums and venues. Amazing staff, especially Laurent. Their breakfast offered on premises is a great value. Our room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. We traveled as a family and they were very happy to accommodate our requests. We will definitely return to the Relais Medici!

A lovely little hotel situated in the heart of the Latin Quarter, a perfect location enabling you to walk to all the major sights in Paris with lots of eating options within less than a five minute walk. The metro is also only a five minute walk away. Although very charming, the hotel badly needs a refurbishment.

Overall, this was a good hotel, but not worth the price. They try but miss the mark.
To start the locks on the room doors are a learning curve as there is no handle, the shower handle was very loose combined with high water pressure which made for something out of a comedy movie as water went everywhere.
Also the breakfast was 15 euros each and a disappointment.
On the upside the location and friendly staff almost made up for the state of the hotel.

Such a beautiful, quaint, wonderful place to stay in the middle is everything on the Left Bank/St.Germaine/Latin Qtr. area. Right behind you is the stunning Jardin de Luxembourg, you must see! Plus the cafes, the Pantheon just down the street, easy bus access to places all over the city, are so convenient. The decor, from the dining room, sitting room and guest rooms are so French chic! Such comfortable furnishings too. The breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice is wonderful! The staff are so very kind, eager to please and very accommodating. It’s very safe too. Highly recommend this charming place. This is my 4th visit to Paris & I’ve stayed other places, but I will only return here from now on!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to land for our first stay in Paris. Laurent at the front desk was so helpful and welcoming: he made us feel right at home. Everything about the hotel was charming: from the historic decor, courtyard, delicious breakfast, and romantic windows. The location was perfect for walking to Jardín de Luxembourg with the kids and there were lots of great shops around. As our plane took off, we all agreed we couldn’t possibly stay anywhere else when we return to Paris.

I felt this stay was satisfactory but the hotel could easily make some improvements without spending a lot of money which would bring the quality up significantly, for example, get rid of antiquated decor items like dust covered fruit baskets, floral fabric drapes from 60’s, bird cages, etc. Replace the carpet, mattresses (which felt like sleeping in a box spring, and add coffee makers and blow driers. The hotel is in a great location and could be made great with little effort. Good to great with little effort.

Once, not twice

Beware, I am not sure how this is a 4 star hotel. I’d give it 3 at most and I’m being very generous. The only upside is the location which is great. The rooms are archaic, the AC does not work. The bed mattress is nonexistent comfort wise. Lacks basic amenities such as toothpaste which I asked for and said there were none which is ridiculous considering hotels should have toothpaste especially 4 star ones! There is no one to help with luggage. I was annoyed that the doors require actual keys that you have to return before you go out to the city. The hotel attendant ran after me to get it. Overall, don’t be fooled by the four stars.

Great spot for touring

We rented at this hotel because of its location and reasonable price, and we’re not at all disappointed. Great location: across from the Odeum, within easy walking distance to the Seine and major attractions, and a stone’s throw from Luxembourg Park, which was an awesome place to relax and people watch. At the hotel we had a very engaging host at the desk who went out of his way to give us advice, and even served us coffee when we got back tired from museum hopping. Was the room luxurious? Of course not- it was small but perfectly functional. Anyone who stays more than the bare minimum in their room then complains that it is too small, too dark, etc., is a fool.

After staying in 30 or more Paris hotels, I discovered Relais Medicis which fits me precisely. Close to restaurants, sites, activities but charming , small and quiet. Lovely staff. The 6th is my favorite arr.

This was my 5th stay here Public rooms are handsomely decorated including a delightful breakfast room. The staff could not be more accommodating!

A few tips to improve. Beds are low which for persons of a certain age (me) makes it difficult to visit the toilet during the night. By raising them 6-8 inches, getting in and out of bed for me (and everyone except children) would be greatly facilitated. And down pillows should be offered to those of us who are used to them.
The wifi is now much improved

Overall, the hotel works very well for me , and I intend to continue to book there.

A great location close to so many cafes and sites on the left bank and handy to the nearest metro at Odéon and the Palais de Luxembourg gardens.

Staying in Paris, feeling in Provance

The hotel is small, with the atmosphere of a home in Provance: ivy clinging on the walls , a little ancient water fountain in the middle of the internal garden, rooms decorated with flowered paper walls and curtains, etc. The room was very quiet, pleasant and larger than the standard Paris rooms. The location is perfect, near the Luxemburg garden, Odeon, 5 minutes walking to the metro, train station and Monoprix.
