turned out to be a good choice. it did exactly what we wanted - it was clean, quiet, comfortable - AND convenient. for the price, highly recommended.

For fans of the Hotel Muguet and the 7th arrondissement, Mme. Pelletier, the owner, has just purchased the well located but a bit rundown Hotel l'Empereur just down the street with un obstucted views of Les Invalides. Upgrading has begun, starting with the same standards of cleanliness that the Muguet is known for and the price is considerably less expensive.

Just booked at Hotel Agora St Germain, a 3 star hotel. For a 3 nite pkg 109 euros and it has a/c and has been renovated. Its located at 42, rue des Bernardins between Notre Dame and the Pantheon with the Maubert-Mutualité metro stop just down the block. Looks like a nice place...at least I hope it is!

Anybody have stayed at the Hotel Prince de Conde? Thank you

Topping. Happy Travels!

Let me add www.artushotel.com for those who like more modern styled hotels. It's on the rue de Buci on the 6th. I haven't stayed there as I rent apartments now, but many have and have given it very good reviews. It's around the corner from my rented apartment, so I'm quite familiar with the area. Happy Travels!

Correction: "in the 6th", not "on the 6th". I need to get off the computer and eat! The brain cells aren't working. LOL! Happy Travels!

I stayed at Hotel des Carmes for 4 nights. The single room was about 80euro per night. I did not eat breakfast there so can't comment on it. The location is great, it is between rue Ecoles and St. Germain. About a block from the metro Maubert-Mutualite. There was a market in the square twice during the time I stayed there. The staff was helpful, the room clean, the bed comfortable - which was mostly what I need in a hotel.

We have stayed in three hotels within a blocks of each other as we usually like to stay in the 6th or on the right bank in the Marais district.

Villa D'Estrees - 17 Rue Gît-le-Coeur, 75006 - Stayed here in October 2006. Pros - the location is great other than the sometimes noise from the Irish Pub and bar at the end of the street but this didn't bother us. The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are larger than normal for that area and we thought ours was very nice. The price was lower than the other two hotels we stayed below. Cons - the website is a little bit deceiving on the size of the lobby/common area. Basically, you walk into the hotel and it is one room with seating and the reception desk in the corner with no bar. So, we didn't feel like we wanted to hang out in that room with the desk clerk sitting in the corner, especially if we were the only ones in the room as we felt like we needed to whisper or invite him into our conversation! Frankly, the lack of a common area/bar was the reason we decide to try a different hotel the next time we were in Paris.


Hotel d'Aubusson 33 Rue Dauphine, 75006 - Stayed here in June 2009. Pros - location is great. Our room was nothing extraordinary but still nice enough. Not as large as Villa d'Estrees but still good sized by Paris standards. The staff were very friendly. The common areas were great - a nice bar with live music as well as a courtyard where you could sit and have a drink day or night.
Cons - the live music in the bar can be a bit loud if you are in a room above the bar (we were) but it stopped around midnight. Ok for us but would not have been happy had we been with small children, especially since they assured us that we wouldn't hear the music in our room when we checked in (completely untrue).

Relais Christine - 3 Rue Christine, 75006 - Stayed here in April 2010. Pros - great location - even better than the other two as Relais Christine is on a quiet street. Common areas are nice. No official "bar" but there is an "honesty" bar area. The common areas at the D'Aubusson were better in my opinion.
Cons - Expensive for what you get. Our room was a "deluxe" for 380 euros per night and it was on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard entrance so we couldn't keep our curtains open unless we wanted to be in plain sight of anyone walking into the hotel. Service was just ok - I called for ice and 30 minutes later, no ice. I called again and they had "forgotten". They are a member of SLH and I booked through SLH.com which included a free bottle of wine,free breakfast, and a complementary room upgrade upon checkin- none of which were mentioned or received upon check-in.

Would I stay at any of these hotels again? Possibly as they were all well located and nice. Villa D'Estrees would be much higher on the list if it only had a better common area. Relais Christine just seemed to be resting on its laurels and was not good value for the money. So, all in all, Hotel D'Aubusson was probably our favorite for a combination of value, great common areas, and location.

The Hotel de Notre Dame Maitre Albert is a delightful independent modern hotel. Entirely renovated, rooms and lobby and sophistically decorated and furniture’s are clean and practically new. The place is really charming, so as the work made with the lightening: in the bathroom, light changes depending of the music you choose from a wide variety of relaxing compilations… very soothing.
Every room includes TV, phone, mini bar and even an iphone music player.

The hotel boasts its cute red façade in a typical and quiet Parisian street, right in the city center of Paris. Indeed, you will be just next to Notre Dame and Montebello’s quay, and only five minutes’ walk from the famous St Michel Boulevard. Just perfect to visit the whole Rive Gauche side of the romantic French city and make your stay more enchanting.

I would definitly go back there !
