Hôtel Quartier Latin (Paris, France)

If you are looking to really immerse yourself in the lively ambiance of Paris, the Latin Quarter is the place to be. Guests love the buzz of this neighbourhood and its real Parisian feel. The streets around are dotted with quaint cafés and restaurants, whilst all the main sights are within walking distance. Notre Dame can be walked to in ten minutes and the Jardin du Luxembourg in 15. This traditional hotel and its cute rooms also add to the atmosphere.

Guests are amazed the lengths that the delightful reception staff go to to keep them happy. They really feel like they are really taken care of and their customer service skills are second to none. They also speak excellent English.

Guests appreciate the plentiful nature of the buffet breakfast. There is a wide choice of delicious foods including cereals, fresh fruits, yoghurts, breads and pastries.

You might regret seeking out the Parisian vibe when it keeps you awake throughout the night. The windows are very poorly insulated, meaning you can hear the noise from the streets around - in particular one cafe-bar regularly attended by students dead-set on partying throughout the night. Guests advise that you should either bring earplugs or request a room on the other side of the building or on the top floor to limit the disturbance.

Whilst guests realise that Parisian room sizes are pretty compact in general, they do nevertheless point out that the rooms at this hotel are on the small side.

Whilst there is nothing particularly bad about this hotel, guests sometimes damn it with faint praise. They feel it is just a standard hotel with average rooms and no real character.
