Hotel de Saint-Germain - Paris, France 

Our second stay at this hotel
Posted: Wed, Dec 05 2007
We stayed here again in october 2007 for 3 nights. We have stayed here before in 2005 (see my review here from March 2005). The reason we returned to Hotel de Saint Germain is: 1) GREAT location 2) relatively low rate for a hotel in the 6th eme In 2005 we stayed on the top floor, this time we were on the 3rd floor (rooms 34 & 35 - one double, one twin). 34 is the double and 35 is the twin which is a bit bigger. Both rooms are bigger than the Room 65 where we stayed last time. We also found the metro noise and vibration a bit less on the 3rd floor than the 6th floor. There is A/C in the rooms which is rare for 2* hotels in Paris. The location of the hotel cannot be beat - especially on our trip this time during the Paris metro strike. We were able to walk to all the sights we wanted to visit: Marais, Notre Dame, Louvre, Musee l'Orangerie etc. Breakfast is €10 and I'd suggest skipping it. It's not a buffet. There is a Paul Boulangerie not too far (corner of rue de Seine & rue de Buci) where you can get similar amount of food for €7.

My single room was very small and the shower facility plus toilet was wardrobe size.I could hardly fit in. The space for breakfast was also very limited.Room was clean.I'd like to have seen a common room for guests.Service was pleasant and employees were helpful.Location was excellent.
