Paris hotels in 5th arrondissement

Pros: Very closed to all attraction, bus is right outside.

Cons: Love to stay again!

Pros: The staff was helpful when I had questions.

Cons: Although helpful, I still came away with feeling they wanted to separate guests from their money as quickly as possibly. They were not warm and did not exhibit the hospitality I come to expect from today's hotels. Two examples: On checking in, I specifically asked for a quiet room away from the elevator. Although the relatively room was quiet it was next to the elevator. Unfortunately, because of my jet lag, I didn't realized this until I'd occupied the room. Why would the check-in clerk not consider my request? The second day, leaving the breakfast area I saw a huge cockaroach. I took a picture and sent it to the hotel by email to be discrete about it. They thanked me for the information and said they'd take care of it. When I checked out a bit later in the morning, the clerk told me an exterminator would be there in half an hour. Great for them. But never once did they say they express any need to be forgiven for having a dirty place. They didn't even comp me for the unpleasant experience. I just don't get it. If you want to sell yourselves as a four star establishment you can't just be superficial about it. You have to deliver through and through which is consider this place to be a wanna be four star. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone looking for authentic hospitality and superior service. By way of comparison, I was in Paris 2 years ago and stayed in a two star hotel in the same area and found the service to be of much higher quality. Next visit, I'll go back to them.

Pros: The hotel is in a great location and the lobby and other public facilities were beautiful. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We also liked that there were several restaurants all within the same square as the hotel.

Cons: The rooms were tiny and the bathroom made me feel a bit claustrophobic. Also, the Internet only worked during the day.

Pros: great design of the room, top floor (6th) was excellent, and you could not beat the TV in the bathroom mirror. really happy with this perfectly located gem.

Pros: The best in Select Hotel is location. It is situated in the center of Paris and it has good neighborhood with Sorbona and Luxemburg park. Muy bien.

Cons: The room was too small for me and for people from wide area countries.

Pros: For this part of Paris the rooms are very nice and good value, with nice design and very comfortable beds.

Cons: Internet in the rooms was not free, but at least available.

Pros: Friendly, efficient staff. Nicely designed interior and excellent location. Comfortable room. We will definitely stay there again.

Pros: The location, it was in an exellent square in front of university sorbonne . Big rooms for hotel in paris. Beautiful rooms with very nice architecture view.

Cons: perhaps a little more of cheese and ham in breakfast

Pros: The front desk staff was excellent and very helpful in all ways.

Cons: None to comment on

Pros: Second time at hotel, great location

Pros: Very good location, very fancy common spaces (hall, breakfast room, reception). The room at the sixth floor was good, but not as great as common spaces.

Cons: Bathtube/shower uncomfortable (without hang up for the shower and without shower curtain, it's a mess with the water everywhere).

Pros: great location, great soundproof windows!unusually beautiful interior decoration! breakfast generous for paris conditions!

Cons: if you weigh more than 50 kilos, do not go to ther bathroom-you may get stuck..

Cons: It would be better to have wooden floor than carpet in the room. A shower stall rather than a bathtub would be more convenient. Breakfast a bit too light and with poor variety

Pros: Great location, great staff, rooms were decent and clean, luggage check for off hour check-in, outstanding value and customer service. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again .

Cons: A little small but at this price who cares?

Pros: The staff was completely helpful and friendly. The location was extremely close to a metro/RER stop. Our room was really cute and well appointed. The price was absolutely unbeatable.

Cons: Like many European hotels (when compared to the US mega-chains), it doesn't have fitness centers, business centers, etc. however, given the location and the raw size (or lack thereof) of most of the hotels in the mix, its hard to fault them for that. If you're looking for a more "business trip" type hotel, this one may not be for you.

Pros: Staff was excellent. Very helpful. Great location.

Pros: Great staff, perfect location!

Pros: Many sights and great restaurants are within walking distance. Metro station nearby is also convenient to get anywhere else in the city.

Cons: Room was very small. 3.50€ for minibar bottle of water was a bit much (I should have known better).

Pros: The charge for wifi was quite reasonable, but during my stay, their modem broken down. In general, it was pretty comfortable.

Pros: Very nice staff, great location, very understanding when we wanted to leave early

Cons: reception area and hallways (at least the 2nd floor) often had a scent of sewage; plastic cover under your bedsheets (apparently for bed-wetters) squeeks whenever you move and give off a cheap feeling; the towels were washed but one still had a visible blood stain; poorly isolated windows lead to cold wind blowing onto one side of the bed

Pros: great location near metro and RER - fast train stations, in the Latin district of Paris with plenty of bars and restaurants. Cosy and comfortable rooms. Good breakfast.

Cons: the person who served breakfast was not polite nor motivated. Became expensive when exibitions in Paris

Cons: room very small. overall good have been cleaner especially bathrooom

Pros: The location was great, staff was friendly, room was clean and despite the noise outside the room was quiet.

Pros: Reception staff very friendly and helpful

Pros: Nice, unusual room. Great location.

Cons: Corridors & stairways were under renovation

Pros: I had a room on the 5th floor as I requested a balcony, which they met. It was small, but very clean and well decorated. The bathroom only had a shower not bath but it was brand new with a hot powerful shower, and plenty of room to store 2 people's toileteries. The bed was really comfy, and there was no noise from the street with the window shut, and as it had air conditioning, heat wasn't a problem. The hallway hadn't yet been decorated so looked a bit shabby, but how much time do you spend in the hallway?? The location is fantastic - so close to such a lovely area, loads of bars, restaurants, the Seine, the train, the metro, notre dame - can't beat it!

Cons: The only down side was we lay in til really late one day (after being out til 4am the night before, and the maid came in the room whilst I was in the shower. I came out in just a towel, thinking she would apologise and leave but she stood and asked me when I was leaving so she could clean the room! She only spoke french, and I only speak a bit of french so told her I'd be gone in an hour, but she continued talking to me in french, and I eventually had to say I didn't understand - I was not very happy that she wouldn't leave as I was practically naked!!

Pros: Very helpful and courteous staff; Excellent central location; very new and clean bathrooms

Cons: By "american" standards the room was small, but perfectly adequate and with a nice balcony overlooking the street.

Pros: very good location

Pros: Easily accessible to major monuments, restaurants, parks, the Seine. Helpful staff.

Cons: Room a bit small, but good use of space.

Pros: The hotel is conveniently located near several Metro stations as well as great local restaurants and shopping. A "chain" grocery store is one block away to stock up on stables and such. Just a couple of blocks also from some main tourist attractions including the Cluny and the Parthenon. Breakfast was above average.

Cons: only ironing board is located in the basement where the laundry is done.

Pros: We stayed in one of the top floor loft rooms at the hotel. It was absolutely fabulous with its modern decor and balcony over looking the streets below.

Pros: Excellent location. Nice modern interior of hotel adn relaxed atmosphere. Very good breakfast buffet. Check until 12!

Pros: Good location and breakfast.

Pros: The location good but the price were high, but it's Paris... Rooms were clean. Breakfast is 12 eur but. RER B to Airport etc is near by.

Pros: the location is good. lots of restaurants nearby.

Cons: rooms are a bit small.

Pros: Rooms were clean. The hotel is in a decent location, but close to the subway so it made getting to and from different attractions was relatively easy. Staff was nice and courteous.

Cons: Although the breakfast is good, for the same price you could get hot meal just down the street. Beds were a little firm.

Pros: the area

Cons: nothing to add

Pros: Its central

Cons: The hotel needs modernisation. There is a difference between the external look of the hotel and the decoration in the rooms and hallways which need serious upgrade.

Pros: The staff was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful! The room was also very beautiful and comfortable!

Cons: Everything was amazing! Would not change a thing!!

Pros: Wonderful friendly staff. The smallness of the establishment added to the warm ambience of the hotel. Recently refurbished so fresh and modern. So close to so many attractions. Loved the whole experience.

Pros: Nice, clean and quiet.....hotel staff very very helpful with questions and recommendations for restaurants etc....was also given an upgraded room which was very nice

Pros: The funky designs of the rooms. The interesting bar concept in teh evening of help yourself and honesty system

Cons: It could have done with some music in the evening when the bar opened to add atmosphere.

Pros: Everything was perfect. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us a lot in a few things that we needed assistance. The location was excellent, near RER/Metro station which could deliver you directly to CDG Airport and all the good spots of Paris. Very good design of breakfast/bar area.

Cons: The room was a bit small but I guess that is a typical situtation with most Paris hotels.

Pros: Excellent service, beautiful furnishings and finishes, great location.

Pros: We enjoyed our 2 night stay in Paris. The icing on the cake was our hotel which was a great base to explore (or get Lost) in the streets of the Left bank and the latin quarter. The Hotel staff where very helpful and courteous and we would definitely stay there again.

Pros: The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was modern, clean and had enough space to move around.

Cons: The only thing that was a bit less than perfect was when I arrived at the hotel at around noon, instead of being greeted by the lady at the front desk- her first words were, "Oh, it is way too early for you to be checking-in." I knew that, and was fine to leave my bags, however it would have been more hospitable to welcome me to the hotel, take my information and let me know that they could accomodate my luggage instead of making me feel like I had inconvenienced her, or that I expected to go straight to my room.

Pros: The location was perfect. The room was a nice size with good "storage" for putting away things. The staff was great and helpful.

Cons: There is a nice "living room" area but the small bar closes at 10:00. When I returned from an evening activity, I would like liked to be able to have a drink. The lack of WiFi services was a major problem for me. In today's world, WiFi service must be standard.

Pros: The service was exceptional anmd the staff could not have been more helpful.

Cons: N/A.

Pros: Helpful, courteous staff. Great location. Pleasant common areas at street level.

Cons: Room appeared worn - wallpaper, rug. Noisy in room next door, as well as sounds from above.

Pros: Kind staff. Excellent location.

Cons: Tiny room. Bathroom floods when you shower. Beds not comfortable. Noisy. Needs urgent refurbishment. Carpets were very tired. We had to kill a spider on the carpet in our room! Bar closes at 10 PM. Air conditioning not working properly. Absolutely overpriced. In fact, a 2 star hotel.

Pros: The Hotel is very close to Is de Ville and Is de Louis and Notre Dame. There are some lovely quiet restaurants very close. The Hotel is beautiful.

Cons: The standard room was small so we upgraded to a lovely sized room.

Pros: Great location, nice room (although not very big), helpful staff who speak a number of languages and a lovely sitting room for chatting, reading or drinks. The decor is elegantly French.

Cons: The bed was not as comfortable as it could have been and the breakfast was too expensive (although there are lots of nearby cafes).

Pros: Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the lounge areas comfortable and tasteful. Also perfectly located.

Pros: Location and exterior of the hotel.

Cons: The hotel does not qualify as a 4 star boutique hotel in my view. Carpets are worn and it is a bit shabby. It does not have the facilities you would expect of a 4 star hotel (reception area, bar,etc). Outrageous charge for internet usage (36 euros/day). Staff seemed inexperienced and not very competent (could not find our reservation). Overall, not up to 4 star boutique standard.

Pros: excellent location, very helpfull and friendly staff

Cons: Wake up call 15 min. to late, and the receptionist was not that helfull in the last morning, and we could not get just a coffe 10 to 7 a.m.
