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.

This hotel is reasonable and conveniently located off Avenue Du Montparnasse near both the Vavin and Notre Dame des Champs metro stops. It is cozy and has a kind of shabby appeal -- the staff is great and they really looked out for us and helped us in every possible way. This would be a great place for young people on a budget or older travellers who prefer something with a personal feel instead of a sterile chain. It has its own little adjoining cafe for breakfast coffee or evening beverages. It might not suit someone who is uptight about people or looking for slick, glossy accommodations, but we totally enjoyed it, and were welcomed in every way.
