Hôtel de Nesle

$, St-Germain-des-Prés

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

This one-of-a-kind budget hotel is like a quirky and enchanting dollhouse. The services are bare-bones -- no elevator, phones, or breakfast -- but the payoff is in the snug rooms cleverly decorated by theme. Sleep in Notre-Dame de Paris, lounge in an Asian-style boudoir, spend the night with Molière, or steam it up in Le Hammam. Decorations include colorful murals, canopy beds, custom lamps, and clay tiles. Most rooms overlook an interior garden, and the dead-end street location keeps the hotel relatively quiet. If you book one of the 11 rooms without a shower, you'll have to share the one bathroom on the second floor.

If you're low-maintenence, this is for you.

I stayed here for two nights in May and it was great. The location is just perfect - walking distance to two Metro stations, on an off-street, but just feet from numerous cafes, a chocolate shop, patisseries, and a crepe stand. My room had a bathroom and little else, but it was clean and comfortable for one person. The courtyard is really nice, very quiet too. I felt safe, even coming back after midnight. I didn't get one of the "arty" rooms, but I didn't mind. I was just thrilled with the hotel and the location. The best part was when I asked the owner's son (in English) to borrow a hair dryer, and he brought me an iron! :)
