Hotel Abbatial Saint Germain

The entire experience staying with Hotel Abbatial Saint Germain was spectacular. When I arrived, I'd been informed that my room had been upgraded to the newly renovated, top floor suite with a balcony & views of the Notre Dame. I couldn't believe it and my disbelief continued when I saw just how beautiful the suite was. The room was spectacular and so reasonably priced for such luxury, something of which I've never experienced before in my life. Everything was clean and all of the in-room amenities were so appreciated. The bed & the lounge area were comfortable, fresh & styled so elegantly. The renovations were modern, however the classic Parisian elements of the room were not erased - creating the perfect atmosphere for someone travelling alone or a couple wanting a quiet, romantic getaway. The location of the hotel was perfect, close enough to the tourist attractions but far enough away from the hustle & bustle if you needed a break or wanted to immerse yourself more into the local culture. You can literally hear the bells of the Notre Dame chiming in the distance as you wake up in the morning. It was magic. The breakfast provided was beyond your usual hotel breakfasts.. There was a wide selection of pastries, french yoghurts, jams, hot breakfast options, tea, coffee, juice, fruits, deli meats & CHEESE! I was incredibly surprised & impressed.. As this was my first time in Paris & I was travelling alone, feeling safe & comfortable were my main priorities - the staff alone ensured this was my reality. Each member of staff that I interacted with for the 4 days I stayed, were polite, kind, helpful, warm & received my lack of French so kindly- a few staff even helped me learn more French while I was there! The entire experience exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations. By the end of the trip, I was thinking about running away & moving to Paris!

The location was perfect. There was a fridge and a kettle in my room. The staff was helpful and nice. There were at least two fine bakeries nearby and lots of other bakeries within a five minutes walk distance. All in all my one-person room was comfortable. The bathroom was always clean and the facilities in the shower cabin worked well.

Loved the location and staff. Close walk to metro and Notre Dame. Breakfast was very good. Jr. Suite was large and bathroom was very spacious.

Everything. It's located in the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank near major cultural sites, metro and bus lines, affording easy access to all of Paris. Intimate. Pleasant. Friendly. And the staff couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. We left at 04:30 our last day, and the 24-hour front desk attendance made even checkout a breeze.

This was the second time we have stayed here and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Paris. The location is outstanding and the hotel is located in a neighborhood with locals instead of tourists. The staff are helpful and gracious. You are minutes from the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saint Michel Notre Dame Metro Station (home to the "C-Line" to the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, and many other attractions). There are also superb restaurants like Bistro Des Lettres and Le Petite Pointoise literally steps away. There is a terrific farmer's market a block away on Tuesday's and one of the best bakeries in Paris (La Maison d'Isabelle) is in the same location. There are small markets across the street as well as a pharmacy and there's an ATM steps from the front door. I really don't know how you could ask for more in terms of value and location.
