Hôtel Sainte Beuve

This is such a cozy hotel. It reminds me of a “Pensione” of days gone by. Rooms are well appointed. The downstairs is a living room worth hanging out in with a good book. Coffee and tea always available throughout the day. And the art work is eclectic and awesome.

Great stay overall – would recommend. The room was spacious for Paris standards, with a large bathroom and beautiful, luxurious interiors. We had a lovely street view, just as requested. The location is excellent – close to two metro stations, bus stops, and right across from Luxembourg Garden. Supermarkets like Monop and Franprix are right next door. Reception staff were amazing – professional, friendly, and very helpful. Really felt welcomed! Downsides: no kettle in the room, which was inconvenient. They offer complimentary tea/coffee in the lobby after 11 am, but a kettle would’ve been better. Also, cleaning could be improved – some small things were missed, but the front desk always resolved it quickly. Still, a very good experience and I’d happily stay again.

We stayed in the superior room, and it felt small. The employees were very nice. I didn't feel like it was a 4-star hotel. A tourist trap, not close to any places in Paris, without having to Metro or taxi, not within walking distance.
