Hotel Des Arenes

Good location on the left bank for exploring Paris - a short walk to some of the more popular sites : Rue Mouffetard for the cafes and food shops etc. Rooms are small and quite old, could do with a refurbishment but are perfectly acceptable and especially for the price. Service was pleasant and efficient with no issues. An excellent tourist hotel to use as a base for exploring Paris - being quite close to 2 Metro access points.

Location is perfect.Cleaning was perfect only elevator need some maintance.

I had 6 night stay.I recommend this hotel

It is advertised as a three star and that’s what you get but I would stay there again. First the cons: The rooms are small but most rooms in Paris are small so not a surprise but that’s what you get.
No coffee maker in your room. There is a machine in the lobby but hey, what can I say, I like a coffee first thing and would rather not trudge downstairs for one.
The pros: The staff there are great. Helpful, kind, considerate and efficient.
We had room 64; the top floor. We had a little balcony that we would spread a blanket on the landing at night and have some wine. It was FANTASTIC. It’s tiny but it worked for us. Great way to end the day.
It has a working elevator—- not a sure thing in Paris.
It’s located in the Latin quarter so it is quiet at night. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to Notre Dame. We used the bus and metro which have stations about 5-8 mins. from the hotel lobby so easy to get around. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfy. The a/c works great and we slept like the dead. We were gone all day so this was a place to sleep, shower and get on our way. If your that kind of people, you are good to go here. Lots of cafe and eateries everywhere and a pharmacy across the street. There is a cigarette shop just down the street and that’s where we bought our French SIM card for our phones. Nothing to it. You pop the old sim out ( CAREFULL here! Have something ready to put your home sim in) pop the new one in, restart your phone and just like that your in business. You will be given a French phone number you can use. Handy to have that store right there.

Perfect location and friendly staff. Room is old style and a renovation can be better. The shower doesn't have a curtain or cabin, so water can splash out easily. The bathroom looks outdated. The price increased a lot during the Olympics.

Very good and kind service, great location in the city as well.
The bed was a bit too hard to our taste, and quite small. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Booked this on the day of my night's stay after realising I was not cut out for sharing a 6 person dorm in a hostel! What a great find! Such good value, my room was compact but very clean and comfortable, blackout curtains, safe and mini fridge. Bed was very comfortable, USB ports next to the bed a great addition! The man on reception was lovely, extremely friendly and welcoming. Great location too, I will be back.

Very good value for the money for a short stay. Nice, spacious and clean room. Excellent location. Lovely monsieur in the reception that was really friendly and welcoming

24 Hour reception service was very nice and gave the hotel more of a face.
You get great value for the money and the view with a little balcony is lovely!

It’s an amazing hotel! The personal helps you to stay comfortable and have a great “Parisienne” expedience. The hotel is near to many cool spots and it’s very practical with public transportation. There are many great bakeries/boulangeries around. And also restaurants. I had a great experience there.

We stayed at this hotel for a week.
Great location, excellent staff, rooms a little small but clean and well stocked.
Highly recommended
