“Great Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Both myself and my wife along with another couple stayed here in early October 2011. Our hotel room was very comfortable room along with a very nice bathroom. We were greeted by the owner and given some information which we found to be very helpful. The hotel has a very nice dining room, which offered breakfast at an extra charge. Our room had a nice grandma, elegant feel. The hotel is located in a very nice neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and everyday essentials. Easy walking distance to the Cardinal Lemoine metro stop, and about a 15 minute walk to the Seine River and Notre Dame Cathedral. The hotel has a very nice courtyard with tables and chairs, and the hotel will provide you with glasses so you can enjoy your own bottle of wine, bread, and cheese. We had breakfast everyday at a little bakery around the corner on a square. Delicious pasteries. I would stay stay here again.

“Charming hotel, great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This is a really lovely little hotel, and if we get a chance to return to Paris we will certainly stay here again! Our room was a modest size, but very comfortable and charming with its French floral decor. There is a wonderful cobblestoned courtyard with tables and chairs perfect for relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine. It's situated in a quiet section of the Latin Quarter, a ten minute walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, with many shops, restaurants, and other attractions nearby. The staff was polite and helpful. This is a great place to retreat to after a busy day in Paris!

Room Tip: We asked for a room facing the courtyard, but those seem to go first!

Great neighborhood for those who are literary buffs. Hotel is across the street from The Hemingways first apartment and a few doors up from one of James Joyce's homes. it is a charming place with warm, helpful management and staff.

“My Favourite Place To Stay in Paris”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011
17
people found this review helpful

I visit Paris once or twice a year for work and always add a day or so on for pleasure. This is where I always stay; it’s my favourite place to stay in Paris. I’ve been to Paris every year for the past 10 years and during this time, have tried many hotels and stopped when I found Hotel Grandes Ecoles
I will be back again in May and would never stay anywhere else now I found this little bit of French Paradise in Paris! I’ve suggested this hotel/ B & B to everyone I know who is visiting Paris. Its like your own little home in Paris, you don’t feel as though you are staying in a hotel.
The property is gated, once you enter you walk onto the gorgeous cobbled stone entrance way all the way up to the reception, the property has gardens, outside seating area and breakfast room (personally I simply walk out down the road to the local patisserie for breakfast). The rooms are extremely clean ( generally if you stay in a charming hotel, charming is another word for rundown and smelly!) well presented, can be a little small depending what room you get ( however this is the norm in Paris), the rooms have lovely old world decor and oozes charm. The owners are delightful and very helpful. Very close to the Metro, Pantheon and great restaurants is only a minute walk away. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to experience Paris

Room Tip: Ask not to stay around the reception area the rooms tend to be smaller and its a little loud there.

“Loved, loved, loved this hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel in early November 2008 and plan to go back next year. We have a room with two twins (#239) and it also fit a third bed for the 4 nights that my son joined us. Marie was lovely and helped with everything we needed. It's a short one-block downhill walk to the Metro (uphill coming back!). Several great small restaurants, bakeries, etc., within a block or so. Our room had both a shower and bathtub combo, making both of us happy. It was a very modern bathroom. There is a lift (elevator) in the building we stayed in. We never got to use the patio area due to the rain, but it would be lovely in better weather. Breakfast was nice, close, and served american-size cups of coffee! The entire place was clean and spotless.
