three stars? I guess they stole two from passing Mercedes. I wouldn't give this hotel more than 1 star. Problems: 1 - unfriendly staff; Okay, it's Paris so it's expected, but making us pay in advance is clearly because they know how crap their hotel is, and most people would never accept paying their rates after staying there. 2 -...

Hotel was easy to find from Cardinal Lemoine Metro, reception staff were always helpful, they gave us a map as soon as checked in. We arrived at the hotel in the late evening, coming from the UK we were desperate for a cuppa, but alas no kettle in the room. The room was basic small but clean, a quiet room... More

Stayed here for four nights over Valentines Day and both me and my girlfriend was pleasenty suprised by this hotel. The location is great, a 10 minute walk away from Notre Dame and less than that to the amazing Pantheon. We had a room on the top floor overlooking the street with a small balcony (a french balcony, I suppose)... More

The hotel room resembles that of a typical budget hotel, although the price certainly wasn't! Our room consisted of two single beds, with the view of an old arena at the back of the hotel. There are no coffee/tea-making facilities in the room; not even a kettle for boiling water! The room was pretty warm in the evenings, and I... More

I have stayed at the Hotel des Arenes 4 nights in february 2012, and have to say that my experience was absolutely negative, under all aspects and i suggest to stay away from it: - the personnel has been very rude, and they have not been helpful at all. first of all, they always had to make you wait, even...

We were therefore impressed with the reception staff who greeted us like old friends, and were immediately given information regarding what we could see and do, as well as the hotel facilities. Our return taxi for... More

I will write here to make people aware of this hotel, if you stay there even one night you will be spending your money in hospital and pharmacy buying medicine to cure you from bed bugs, read the earliest reviews and you will understand what i mean, we have stayed me and my wife in this hotel 3 nights and...

We stayed for 2 nights in early January 2012 at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location with cafes and restaurants at hand for that early morning coffee/croissant and that drink in the evening, easy walking distance to the restaurants of the Latin Quarter, the river and attractions of Paris such...

My room was small but very clean. The bathroom is too small, there is no way to hang something and even the sink is too small to leave shaving accessories on it... Nice and polite service. Easy access to the center of the city. More
