this is a 1.5-2 star hotel, but located very conveniently by RER stop to CDG as well as Metro 10. you can walk to the Seine, Notre Dame etc. Rooms are clean, they make up breakfast trays (for free), free wifi (although low performing). Staff is friendly. I think it was a converted old house so floor is not level... More

Went to Paris via the Eurostar into Gare de Nord and it could not have been simpler getting to the hotel via the metro on line 4. Hotel is about 200m for the metro station on St Michel. Great central location for seeing the sites. The hotel was basic, olde world, clean and great value for money. A must -... More

Great hotel, location was top notch for getting around on foot. its also minutes from where the train from CDG stops. Bit of an expensive area but the hotel is reasonable and you can still do it on the cheap. The room is old world and quirky but very comfortable. All in all, simple, relaxed and done well, but location... More

We were introduced to this hotel many years ago and would not book in anywhere else. The hotel has a timeless charming quality, always clean, the staff are always friendly. Breakfast can either be taken in the small reception area or taken to your room, fresh croissants, bread, butter, jams and fresh orange juice, tea to coffee. The location is... More

The location of the hotel is very good. The closest Metro stop--St Michel, Line 4--and RER --St Michel Notre Dame, Line C--are just a couple blocks away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke English, but we did our best to speak French. I had to ask the more difficult questions in English because my language skills are... More

We counted 75 stairs to our room! We had a small charming balcony and used it a lot. The room was a reasonable size and very French, blue and white soft furnishings. Our bed was comfortable and for a city it was quiet at night. The breakfast is served in the foyer - odd, but fresh croissants & baguette, coffee/tea... More

Location, location, location... Stayed here with my daughter and loved it. Small rooms, tiny shower, no lift (we counted the stairs...) - but charming, with a friendly staff. What a perfectly located base of operations for discovering Paris on foot. I will return...

This small hotel is on a very quiet sidestreet just off Boulevard St Michel, and a hundred metres from Place de St Andre. This is the second time I have stayed here, and will stay again. The hotel itself is very charming, although as there are no lifts you wil have to be prepared for a climb to your room.... More

We stayed at Hotel du Lys for eight nights. The hotel location is excellent. The hotel is located in the Latin Quarter. The room was small but adequate. The bed was too small for two people. There were two heaters in the room that didn't work. We asked three different staff members about the room heaters and all of them... More
