Everything about the property was perfect. Staff was so helpful and friendly, the location is so quiet and serene. My only \"issue\" was that my converter wasn't compatible with the outlet in my room; when I started to ask where I could purchase one on a Sunday I was presented with a basket of options to choose from.

Wonderful staff! They quickly responded to my email inquiry about their location and how to get there from Disneyland. We arrived early and they graciously allowed us to leave our bags and even took them to the room for us. What a treat especially after a long day of sightseeing. The view from the room was amazing! Thank you for a great stay😘

The room #1 was just too small with such a large bed. It should only be a single. I have stayed there many times and never was put in this tiny room. With 2 people it was not suitable.

We absolutely love this property! The staff is amazing and remembered us (even the room we stayed in) from the year before. We love that there are plenty of places to eat near by, and that Île de la Cité is an easy walk away! We plan to continue to stay here every time we are in Paris!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were very warm and welcoming. The room was small but charming and had china cups and a kettle for making tea or coffee.
We were served breakfast promptly and with a smile. The building and grounds are delightful. Staff are on duty 24/7.

This is a wonderful hotel, with beautiful gardens in a peaceful courtyard and a sweet breakfast room. The staff is so nice and go out of their way to address any wishes or concerns you have. Our rooms were spotless and sweet, with views of gardens next door. Like most less expensive Paris hotels, there aren’t extensive amenities in the rooms, and no televisions (thank god!) but ours had hair dryers, modern showers and an electric kettle with packets of tea and instant coffee. The very lovely women who run the kitchen in the morning were so nice — they let me get coffee early in the morning and take it to my room, and when I got a cold one day insisted that I take honey and lemon with me to add to the tea.
Really a wonderful experience, I’d go back here any time.

Hemingway fans will delight in the location of this hotel across the street from his first Paris apartment. Enter the cobblestone courtyard through a green gate, but don't let the cat out! My room was quiet, clean and comfortable. There's is no TV but there are books near the breakfast room and an antique bookstore across the street. Lots of museums, dining, shopping and nightlife nearby. The dining room and hotel staff were oustanding. Would stay here again!

I recently stayed at this charming boutique hotel in the heart of the Latin Quarter, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. Their hospitality truly added to the experience.

The hotel itself is impeccably clean, with well-maintained rooms that blend classic Parisian charm with modern comfort. The attention to detail in the decor creates a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo retreat.

Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Nestled in the lively yet historic Latin Quarter, it’s just a short walk from the Seine, Notre-Dame, and an array of charming cafés and bookstores. Whether you’re looking to explore the city’s cultural gems or simply soak in the ambiance of a quintessential Parisian neighborhood, this hotel is ideally situated.

Overall, this boutique hotel is a perfect mix of comfort, charm, and convenience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Paris!

We had a great stay at the Grandes Ecoles. The staff were all lovely and helpful and once you entered through the large door it was like going back in time. Very pretty garden area, even in the winter. It was so quiet and quaint. Our room was small and could have used a little updating, but that was part of the charm really. Linens and bed was amazingly comfortable and just looking into the courtyard each morning allowed you to step back in time. It's a great place to stay if you have students studying abroad there in Paris. The nearest square had great little cafes and bistros to eat and trains were a quick walk away to almost anywhere we wanted to go in the city. Highly recommend.

The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and helped us to book restaurants/ hammams & the like during our visit.

The breakfasts at the hotel were delicious, with locally baked breads, pastries, yoghurts & jams. Their hot chocolate is sensational!

It was a fantastic trip and we will definitely be staying here again next time we visit Paris.

Charming Country Inn in Heart of Paris

I have been coming to this hotel for decades, even before it was the lovely residence it is now, and was more like a boarding house. Hands down, this is our favorite hotel in Paris. For location, charm, helpfulness of the staff, and really good breakfasts, it can't be beat. And that's not even taking account of the delightful garden, which we couldn't really enjoy at Christmas time.

Lovely little hotel in Paris city centre, within walking distance of some of the main attractions, metro stations and restaurants & cafes. Having read in the news about bed bugs, I was quite worried, but our room and bed were so impeccable, any concerns were put to rest as soon as we arrived. Our Classic Double room was on the top floor and had a skylight window, which was nice. Towels clean and in good condition, and the staff were lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The gardens were wonderful even in mid-November, quiet and safe behind two large metal gates. The only complaint I would have is regarding the lift, it seemed like whenever someone was calling the lift (which happened very frequently from about 7-8am), a lot of noise could be heard in the room, troubling for a light sleeper like me (my partner doesn’t have this issue and so he didn’t hear it). Our room was right next to the lift, which was just unfortunate for me personally. I have really enjoyed my stay, and I will be recommending this lovely hotel to others.

Property is surrounded by lots of coffee shops and restaurants. These are not your fancy wancy spots if that’s what you want. These are more laid back down to earth spots. Lots of hole in the wall spots. There is a water fountain in the small square. These are steps outside of hotel. The hotel has a courtyard that is peaceful if you want to grab your coffee and enjoy it privately. The hotel has garage parking that cost 25-35 euros a day. Staff were super friendly. The room I had was just a basic room with no tv and was all that was needed for a quick stay. Fresh towels hot water and comfy bed. That’s all needed with so much to do in Paris and not in the room very much. I would stay again. Thanks

Stay here…just do it. If you are looking for a small hotel that is quintessentially french in feel, in a brilliant location in the Latin quarter this is an amazing choice. 5 minutes to the train station that gets you easily around Paris, steps from the life of the quarter yet once you walk into the gated gardens to enter the hotel you are transported into an oasis of peaceful bliss. The hotel is old (of course) but that adds to its charm, you are in Paris after all! The staff are absolutely the best, friendly, helpful and most of all kind. If you look for all the amenities and you are a fussy traveller maybe not for you, but if you want to stay in a cozy room that screams Paris with all its charm this is your place. Have breakfast at least once, it’s small but sweet..then check out the LQ and you will find so many choices for food, crazy great location. BTW the train gets you right down the street to and from the airport, one quick transfer, very very easy to use and we are not subway / train users at home, Can’t recommend enough…stay here!

The receptionists were very easy to talk to and had a mind of great hospitality (seems like they like working there, no wonder): The receptionists kept our luggages two hours before out check-in and four hours after our check-out. They let us rest in their garden even after the check-out and made sure we were comfortable. Without a question, the room we stayed in (in fact all rooms) was very cosy and cute with aesthetic even in detailed parts of the room. The shower/bath was great. One thing, the elevator too ages to arrive to each floor, but it didn’t really matter that much. The cat there was very adorable, and the flowers planted in the corridor/garden were mind-blowingly beautiful.

This is a very cute little hotel in a perfect spot in the 5th arr. We were in a quiet but lively neighborhood with great restaurants. It was a very manageable walk to the main tourist attractions. Room was a touch small and tight, but it’s Paris and we spent very little time in the room anyway. I’d definitely recommend this hotel given the location.

I should have read the details!

I really do my research when booking and amongst other reasons based my stay on the reviews, however it was not what I expected and nothing the hotel could have done. I did actually move hotels for my second night as I needed more modern, more fresh, more luxury.
I’ve stayed in 3* many times and one thing I missed was that they didn’t have a tv. Whilst usually that would not be an issue - but it was France vs England World Cup and I could stream couldn’t go out as was with my daughter :(
The bathroom was dated, some will say shabby chic but it was rustic to say the least. The l’occtaine toiletries was a nice touch. The towels were tiny and not at all soft or fluffy- just need throwing away. The carpets down to the dining room were stained and it all just felt dirty. The dining room was awkward at best- tiny tables, no room to manoeuvre - lots of people waiting but the breakfast was nice. Nothing the hotel could have done- it is what it is if you like that sort of rustic experience, I will check the amenities more closely next time. The hotel kindly called to ask why I left but as I said to them- it just wasn’t what I expected. It’s in a fabulous area, it’s quiet ( although our room was by the aircon in the hallway and there was a loud sneezer in the next room- but it didn’t disturb us too much.
