Hotel De Buci - Paris, France     

We were sorry to leave Hotel de Buci. It is an absolute gem of a hotel, and we really loved it. You get a good impression as you walk through the door, the staff are very friendly and helpful and our room, which was on the 2nd floor and overlooked the street, was very prettily furnished and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also very clean and quite well equipped. Although the hotel is set in a bustling area, there was no noise or intrusive light in the room while sleeping, due to the electric blinds which cover the windows outside at night. Not many people seemed to take breakfast (others have reported here that it was a bit pricey) but we enjoyed it each day with part waiter service. The hotel setting in the St Germain des Pres area is amid a wonderful interesting mxture of little art galleries, shops and cafes - we were only a few minutes from the metro, and could easily walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame etc. Congratulations to all who work to make this such a lovely hotel, this was our fifth visit to the city, and this is the nicest Paris hotel we have stayed in by far. We look forward to returning soon.
