I've been here for the last days of the year, the location is extremely convenient, close to Notre Dame and to the Sorbonne. rooms are very small with old equipments, the lift is so tiny that you can't enter in two person with all the luggage; not very well assisted at the check in. just good for value and location.

Yes, the price may be cheap, but do not expect much from it. The double bed I had booked was actually 2 singles which had been pushed together and the mattresses very uncomfortable. The location was fantastic however and you can be on the banks of the Seine in a matter of seconds. If you´re not going to spend that... More

Reception ignored it as we saw when we got downstairs and saw that the reception staff was just sitting there WE said that we should have been told via intercom or phone. So anyway we had ran downstairs 5 floors... More

Very uncomfortable Bed clearly second hand matress that still had the large dent on one side from years of being slept on (with plastic matress protector), noisy courtyard, dated decor, dark, overpriced, poor breakfast (when they hadn't run out), rude staff who didn't seem to know what was going on. The "shower" was a hose and shower head attached to... More

Clean and noiseless. The building is too old, but its location is highly accessible. Walking distance to Louvre and Saint German Subway station. The prices are a little high, but we excluded breakfast for a great deal of discount. So you can stay on budget even in Paris center!

A very loud round of applause for the website designers and the photographs, who certainly manage to give this dreadful place a nice and charming look online! Seriously, and not being picky, there's nothing I could recommend in this hotel, except maybe its location, since it is conveniently located in Paris' Latin quarter. But then it's not as if the...

We stayed here for 3 nights...beds were full size yet comfortable, yet pillows were lumpy...floors were clean enough, bedspread was torn and dingy yet sheets were thankfully clean...the worst tho was the black mold in the bathrooms of the 2 rooms we stayed (gross!). Reception was nice and service for breakfast was good although breakfast itself was minimal (shouldn't expect... More

PLEASE do not consider staying here. Firstly, the images online do not reflect how hot, dingy, pokey and uncomfortable this hotel is. Secondly, the hotel appears to be living off of the "word of mouth" reputation of a similarly named hotel 'Hotel Rive Gauche' near the 'Jardin Du Luxembourg'. The hotel interior has a reasonable looking reception which leads to... More
