Royal Saint Germain

Royal Saint Germain's 6th Arrondissement location is really safe and offers excellent transport connections. The Montparnasse Metro entrance is just around the corner, making it easy to access key Paris areas. This entrance is on the same line as Gare du Nord - excellent news if you're travelling by Eurostar. Don't neglect the hotel's immediate area, though - a walk towards the stunning Luxembourg Garden passes excellent independent shops, cafes and restaurants. To leave Zone 1 - like we did, to Versailles - take the N train from Montparnasse's SNCF station - a 10-minute walk down the road - to Versailles-Chantiers. Versailles Château Rive Gauche on the RER line is closer to the Palace (this runs from another station), but Chantiers gives you a true feel for the town as you walk to the main attraction. Try Le Bouef a la Mode in Versailles for beautiful bistro steak, wine & dessert. If you prefer buses, The hotel has a stop right outside. You can pay contactlessly for buses and Zone 1 train and Metro services with a Navigo Easy card - available from machines at all rail stations - and you can top it up with the Bonjour RATP app on your phone. Our Twin Room (601) was small and had no great view, but we did almost 100,000 steps during our time in Paris so literally used it to sleep and freshen up. It was perfect for this. The hotel's breakfast spread on the first floor, served until 10.30am, is the perfect wake-up call. There's something for everyone with meats, cheeses, pastries, juices, scrambled eggs, (amazing) bacon, European sausage and lots of fruit to choose from. There's also a delicious and fast coffee machine. The setting itself is lovely, with comfy seating, natural light and a view of Rue de Rennes. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Royal St Germain and its excellent staff.

Location. Friendliness of the staff. Quality of the breakfast was very good, and there was a varied selection. We had a comfort twin room and the size and firmness of the beds was very good. (But see my point below on the allergic reaction in the room, and overcrowing at breakfast.)

All the staff were exceptionally lovely, except one. The previous day we had asked another lovely staff member if we could leave our suitcases as our flight was late at night. HE was incredibly helpful and kind. He also arranged our taxi to the airport for us, clear and concise in all our dealings with him. The room was as expected. Super comfy bed, great shower, perfect for our needs in beautiful Paris.

We loved this hotel, my wife has been to Paris many times and used reasonably priced accommodation so she wasn't expecting the size of room or air conditioning. But it was great. Lovely staff, facilities, location and amenities. We had a lovely view on to the main road and then there was breakfast. Well worth the money for that as there was fresh bread every morning, a create continental collection, fresh meats and cheese and plenty of fresh fruit.

I am very grateful to the hotel for arranging a quiet room for me. Given the high real estate prices in Paris, this hotel offers great value for money! Although the room was a bit small, but it is not bother me at all .it was well-equipped with all necessary amenities. Also it is clean and comfortable.The toiletries provided were from my favorite RITUALS brand. The metro and train stations were within walking distance. The staff member, Mamadi, was exceptionally warm and made me feel at home. I am very happy to have chosen such a cost-effective hotel!
