Hôtel Sèvres Saint Germain

The staff were very pleasant the location was ideal. The hotel was really clean.

Very nice hotel, situated in a quiet but well connected street inside the city, in fact in about 20 minutes on foot you can reach Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, the Orsay Museums... If you don't like walking, it has not one but two metro stops, the green one of Sevres-Babylone and the purple one of Rennes, both are well connected and will quickly take you anywhere in the city. In addition, in the surrounding area there are plenty of supermarkets, brasseries and boulangeries. The room, renovated and modern, had everything we needed for our stay. A special thanks to the amazing receptionist Aldja (I hope I wrote it right) who recommended us wonderful places where we could eat, places we otherwise would have never found on our own!

The hotel is in a somewhat quiet neighborhood, even though Bon Marche is right down the street, there are no other touristy attractions close by, so you get the sense of a real Parisian neighborhood. There is an excellent bakery right next door, we were able to do a take away pizza across the street and tons of other little bakeries, coffee shops and markets right on the same block or a very short walking distance. Although not walking distance to many of the tourist attractions, except for the Jardin de Luxembourg, the bus and Metro can take you to all the different parts of Paris very easily. There is a public bus close by that takes you directly to and from the Eiffel tower. I also liked the fact that the hotel was tastefully decorated. I find so many hotels in Paris have really garish décor, but the lobby and the rooms were decorated with an elevated décor. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I did have one strange encounter with one of the front desk people. My husband left a day earlier than me and then I walked back in the front desk man looked at me strangely. The maid was cleaning my room and I was working in the lobby and he finally came up to me asking if I had checked out. I told him no, I have a reservation for one more night. He thought I had left with my husband. It turns out that in Paris or maybe all of France, you are taxed per person per night, so he had to make sure that I was taxed for only one person that last night. Wish it had been explained from the beginning before the random questioning, but good to know for future stays in France!

The location is comfortably located in a neighborhood with many popular shops, patisseries, and picturesque Parisian cafés. We left the window open at night and were able to sleep without too much noise from the street. The room itself was comfortable, more spacious than I expected in Paris, and we even had a bathtub!

Our stay here is very pleasant. The front desk people were very kind and helpful. They recommended great place for dinner. We also loved that they have drinking and sparkling water provided at the lobby. The room is nice and clean. A bit small but comfy and have everything we needed.
