Hôtel Des Arènes in Paris

It was close to reasonable restaurants, near famous sights and there were useful shops nearby.

Breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

Room was clean and staff reacted swiftly to a problem that arose.

Our usual to stay place in Paris. Cosy comfortable rooms, quiet and ideally located hotel. staff remembers you from prior trips 😁 and is efficient and caring.

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.

The location of the hotel is very convenient. There are subway stations in front and behind the street. Carrefour is open at 10pm opposite. There are also many breakfast shops and restaurants downstairs of the hotel.
The hotel facilities are all very small, the elevator is very small, and 4 people are already very tight. The design of the floors and rooms are very nostalgic and classical.
The only slight drawback is that the bedding should not be changed for each guest, but a small mat is replaced to separate the bedding.

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!
