My son and I stayed here at the end of October through the beginning of November 2010.
Though not fancy, the rooms were roomy enough, comfortable, warm and cozy, and we had free internet for those few VERY rainy days.
What sold us most on the place was the VERY friendly owner and his staff. Each morning and evening, they greeted us like we were family, and even taught us a bit more French than the tiny bit we knew, with sly humor kind lof like a grandpa might teasingly do.
My son and I walked nearly everywhere so as not to miss a single sight; however, the Hotel is VERY convenient to the subway system! It is right there outside the front door, and around the corner!! It is a perfect neighborhood, and close to anything you'd want to see and do.
When we left, we recieved warm hugs and the European kisses on each cheek and were asked to come back next time we visit Paris. We will!!!!
LOVED this place.

We stayed a week in 2009 and again in May 2010, and we're sending our son and daughter there this summer. This will be their first trip to Paris and we know the staff will be helpful. "The Stan" feels like home away from home. The friendly proprietor and convenient location are more important to us than having a fancy room. The rooms are small and everything definitely looks old. But it's clean and the beds are comfortable enough. There is no elevator but the staff helps with luggage. When we left on some side trips the hotel stored our luggage until our return. They made phone calls for us to check on whether a museum was reopened after renovations. You get a croissant and baguette with butter and jam and strong coffee to get you going in the morning. We'd gather for wine and beer with locals at night. Wonderful restaurants are within quick walking distance. Try the street vendor's crepes when coming home at night!

I spent 1 night here in September 2008. The hotel's biggest asset is its location-- in a beautiful neighborhood and very convenient for lots of Left Bank sites, including the Luxembourg Gardens. My room was very basic and the furnishing was faded and worn. (Peeling wall paper, broken glass in a picture frame, faded carpeting.) Most importantly, the sheets were clean and new-looking. The bathroom was a bit mildewy, but clean and adequate (with a private toilet and shower). There was even a hairdryer in the room. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is no elevator in the hotel. Hotel Stanislas is an okay budget option, especially given the location. But it could use just a bit of work to make it more comfortable.

This hotel is in a fabulous location, close to three metro stops (St Placide, Notre Dame des Champs, and Vavin), is just a short walk from
Montparnass and all of its great restaurants, Jardin Luxembourg and the shopping district of St Germain des Pres.

In addition to the location, the price is right, the staff was super friendly, accomodating and helpful and the rooms, while not luxurious, were clean and comfortable. It was also quite quiet from hotel and street noise so we were able to have a good night's sleep.

I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a great deal on the Left Bank.
