It was dark and dingy, we were offered 2 other rooms which none looked like the pictures on their website.

Our "superior" room consisted of 2 narrow hallways between the door, the dirty little bathroom, and the tiny dark room.

The room and bathroom were dark with very poor lighting.

However, I think there are a few needs as below : First, rooms are little bit dark, so when I come back from my day trip, I feel little bit down and tired.

The carpet was dark and spotted in areas, corners not well cleaned, and there were dirty marks all along the hallway at shoulder height.

we were placed in a dark,dingy worn room that would better suit a person or people that don't need any natural light or feelings of normality.

but being on the second floor it was also quite dark and we needed the lights on at all times.

It smelled terribly bad, it was very dark and the carpet was gluey (ie I stood there for approx 10 minutes and my shoes were sticking to the floor!).

It was a bit dark as it had only one window on an interior courtyard so you had to really look up to see the sky.

I should also mention that it felt safe even after dark.

Still on the stairs they are lit by lights on movement sensors and we often found ourselves in the middle of a flight of stairs in the dark which was a little unnerving.

It was also rather dark as it faced a tiny inner courtyard, there was very little daylight.

After entering the door to the second room, I had to walk along 2 long hallways in the dark to get to the room proper.

It was dark, narrow, and the bathroom with no tub was so small - even for Paris - that I declined.

The room itself was quite dark because it overlooked an inner courtyard,

Ideal location for seeing the sights in Paris.

The location is perfect - whether having dinner or un café down the block, or walking to the Seine, Latin Quarter, or Notre Dame.

BUT also wood beams in ceiling, friendly staff, diligent housekeeping, awesome location two blocks from basically everything cool.

We loved the central location just a couple blocks off the Pont Neuf, very easy to walk to the Latin Quarter, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Louvre, even the Marais.

The location couldn't be beat, with easy access to all the city's sites and plenty of metro/bus options if walking was not preferred.

I loved the location and bustling vibe of this hotel and will definitely return for another visit to Paris very soon.

I would stay again because of the excellent staff and location.

The location (6th Arrondissement) is next to many bars, cafes and crêperies.

Would reccomend based on location, comfort and service which for me is always important when looking on a hotel to stay at.

Hotel location was excellent, lots of resraurants and bars nearby at reasonable prices.

It is in an amazing location, a 1 minute walk to the Seine, and then Notre Dame is 5 minutes away.

The location is perfect and close to everything.

I loved the location of the hotel, the cleanliness of rooms and the staff!

This quaint hotel is located within walking distance of great restaurants, the river, gardens/parks and even the Louvre and Notre Dame!

The location was fabulous and so convenient to so many attractions.

Over the years I have chosen Hotel Dauphine for it’s fantastic location in the heart of St Germain, close to transport, museums and wonderful restaurants.

This hotel right in the middle of the St. Germain arrondisement was perfectly located - close to restaurants, the river, Luxembourg Gardens and the RER B.

Odeon Metro Station in close by as are Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, Luxembourg Gardens, the Pantheon (the Cluny Museum is closed until July) and all sorts of cafes & restaurants.

Within easy walking distance of the Seine, Notre Dame, Sainte Chappelle, the Louvre, Latin Quarter, Luxembourg Gardens, everywhere you want to go.

the Luxembourg gardens are 10min stroll and many stops for a coffee, gelato and a cheeky kir royal.

It is within easy walking distance to the Louvre, Tuilleries Gardens, Luxembourg Gardens, Muse d'Orsay.

Walking distance to the louvre museum, and Eiffel tower, & Jardin du Luxembourg gardens, in fact you are not far from anything.

We stayed in this boutique hotel which is in a great location close to Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Latin quarter, Luxembourg Gardens, and the Saint Germain region.

Hotel Dauphin is a very nice boutique hotel near Luxembourg Gardens.

From here you can walk to Louvre, Notre-Dame, Sorbonne, Luxembourg gardens, Tuileries, Musee de Orangerie, Musee d'Orsay, Tower - everything!! 2.

Situated slap-bang in the centre of the Latin Quarter, it is within minutes walking distance from Notre Dame, Shakespeare and Co bookshop, and perhaps 10 minutes from Luxembourg Gardens.

Blocks from the Pont de Neuf, walking distance to Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens and even the Eiffel Tower.

Walked to the Louvre, Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, Luxembourg Gardens The Seine is at the end of the street and the metro.

Central to Latin Quarter--Notre Dame, D'Orsey Museum, Luxembourg Gardens.

We easily walked to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Luxembourg Gardens, Tuilerie Gardens and everything in between.

I walked daily -- to the Louvre, Orsay, Notre Dame, Marais, around Luxembourg Gardens, and even to the rue Mouffetard  (during a "Hemingway walk").

The location was great and we were able to walk to many of the tourist spots, with the River Seine only a five minute walk, the Luxembourg Gardens a ten minute walk.

It was truly ideal, so close to restaurants and transit and the magical Seine!

rooms are beautiful well appointed and clean. brilliant eating venues right outside and around the corner( Maison Sauvage in my favourite!)

Restaurants and shopping directly across the street.

This hotel is close to many restaurants and shops in Saint Germain.

We were able to walk to all of the main sites we wanted to see, and it's surrounded by good restaurants.

We didn’t pay for breakfast as there are so many places to eat on the doorstep.

The hotel is just around the corner from Rue de Buci which has a number of excellent restaurants to choose from in a bustling and fun area - our favorite was Cafe Buci, while Atlas, a seafood restaurant catty corner from it, also was very good.

Lots of good restaurants as well very close by.

Also, walking distance to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, and of course, the entire Left Bank/Latin Quarter with its restaurants and shops.

Lots of restaurants in the area and within walking distance of a lot of the sights - Notre Dame, Musee du Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Jardins du Luxembourg etc.

The staff is nice, welcoming, and help us alot with finding great restaurant.

but there are many cafes in the neighborhood that will also serve a decent breakfast.

Very close to transportation, restaurants and shopping.

I am so amazed at how much care the staff took prior to our trip in helping us with arrival questions as well as places to eat near there.

Bathroom Tub drain was stuck for first 2 nights.

The room was small and clean,except the bathroom had an unclean odour.

A complaint about that would be akin to complaining about the sulfur smell in an Icelandic shower.

Not sure if someone had been smoking illicitly before us or it came through the air conditioning.

but ours smelled like someone/something died in it.

Bonus, if you happen to be up at one in the morning, you can smell the croissants being made somewhere in the neighborhood.

Finally, there was an unpleasant moldy smell in the bathroom, which seemed to be very clean.

Soap smelled wonderful! We were on the fifth floor, so in order to get to it, you took an extremely tiny lift (so tiny that one night three people got in it, and it was overloaded!)

The smell persisted and it lasted for approx 1 hour.

The hotel's biggest drawback was the strong scent throughout - clearly intended as a nicety,

My only comment is that the fragrance of the sachets in the public areas is too strong.

Maybe that explained the smell in that room.

Room 14 was tiny, the airconditioning/heating unit was very noisy, and  provided insufficient heat, and the shower efficiently flooded the bathroom while making the person taking the shower only mildly damp.

though we were in smoking rooms (and don't smoke) there was absolutely no smoky residue or odor.

Classic 3-star in the heart of the Left Bank, so bear that in mind: cramped staircases, slow elevator, small bathrooms, tight-squeeze bedrooms.

The rooms with bathtubs have much larger total bathroom space.

but the location more than made up for lack of space.

but parctical use of the space makes the room seem larger.

Our 2 bedroom suite was a very small room with a bed, 2 small chairs,some shelves to put your clothes

Given that this was larger than a standard double, I'd say be careful if you are over 6' tall or weigh much over 200 lbs--you will find it pretty cramped.

They should put some hooks and shelves around, so at least you can hang/put stuff.

Travellers to Paris have to expect rooms to be small, unless you really are paying for space.

There needs to be more modern space to keep clothing.

My room was cramped and virtually no light.

but not so small that we couldn't move, and there was a nice chifforobe with hangers and shelves if you're staying long enough to unpack.

There were no drawers so we ended up living out of our suitcases which I hate .

Do not come here if you are looking for vast space in your room; you will not find it in most hotels of this calibre.

The items they show as features in their brochure, are just strange and take up space, such as an old intercom, jammed next to the night stand.

but I doubt anyone who is use to space would be able to use it.

You can ask them to remove the drinks so you have more space for your goodies.

The room layout made the space feel bigger - the room door opens into a small hallway with a mirror, bathroom (separate room) to the right off the entry hallway, which then opens to the left, to the bedroom (with a window).

Well looked after by all the lovely staff, especially the great guys on reception, nothing was too much trouble.

but clean with well appointed rooms, a nice staff and a pleasant breakfast.

It's charming, and the charm level is equalled (if not surpassed by) the staff.

Room was a good size for Paris, staff were friendly.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.

Hotel Dauphine Saint Germain

location

The hotel is located in the Odeon area, close to everything including the Metro on the Left Bank.

The location is stellar with many bistros and street cafes in the area.

However, the sleeping area was fine, with reading lamps and a comfortable bed.

Although in a busy area, the room was very quiet and the metro was conveniently just around the corner.

We love the 6th arrondissement (and neighboring areas) for strolling, eating, and drinking, so the location was perfect for us.

We have visited the city many times, and we prefer the St. Germain area.

We walked around other areas of Paris each day and always looked forward to returning to this quaint little area and hotel.

Gautier greeted us with a smile and oriented us to this quaint 22 room hotel located in the Latin area right on Rue St. Germain.

This is a very well-run hotel in a lively and centrally located area of Paris that is a short walking distance from the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Pantheon and the lovely stores of the Left Bank.

We cannot say enough about this wonderful hotel, and area.

but not secluded area which is very safe and convenient (the Metro is about 250 feet around the corner).

It is in a vibrant area, where restaurants are affordable and really good, also lots of choice.

We enjoyed the area of the hotel and the staff were very friendly,

Great location in the St. Germain des Pres area, beautiful, comfortable rooms/suites, and a staff that makes you feel very welcome.

The location is ideal and within walking distance to monuments, museums, cafes and shopping areas.

this is the room you seen in most of the pictures with the sitting area.

I love this part of Paris and would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to stay in this area.

After enquiring, the owner's son produced a photograph of the area for us to look at.

So does the sitting area of this lovely room.

Rooms are nice, and a bit larger than most city hotels.

The windows kept out the noise of the city so we slept well.

The attached restaurant is one of the best in the city!

Just a magical hotel in my favorite city!

Not surprsingly, this hotel has become our favourite place to stay in Paris and will be the only one that we will come back to whenever we visit this delightful city.

The room was a reasonable size for a city hotel, bathroom small

The staff was very welcoming and good at recommending things to do in the city.

Most cities implementing this 'fixed rate' system now including Madrid (Spain) and Vancouver (B.C., Canada).

Each room is unique and has a lot of character with great views of the city.

heatbroken  for the city after the attack
this is a wonderful city
this is a wonderful b+b
the restaurant is a delight . .

This time it was to introduce my grand-daughter to the city I love so much.

The staff could not have been more helpful or gracious and were all very knowledgeble with regard to transportation, sights away from the city and tickets to events we required.

Not only is it in the 6th, which is generally regarded as one of the best locations in the city to stay,

and all in the city of love and culture

we are returning again so ought you !

Our room a Junior sweet was very spacious for Paris standards and the decor rose up to greet us as we returned from long days of walking around this beautiful city.

The app contains a lot of info from weather, to special events going on in the city, etc.

the hotel is located in city center therefore it's convenient to shopping, visit.

My daughter has life threatening food allergies and they took great care to prepare her food safely at the hotel's excellent restaurant Le Comptoir.

the bathrooms have been cleverly refurbished and so the accommodation is more comfortable 
location remains awesome
breakfast is a delight 
personnel are friendly and engaging
and easy access to tables at the delicious  le comptoir next door 
we took 2 rooms and the 3 boys shared a room. .

I went with my 8 and 13 year old daughters and they loved dinner at the restaurant.

The hotel provided us with a very nice babysitter that was friends with the owners daughter.

Having stayed at this hotel frequently as a child and teen, I was excited to return as an adult.

We came here for our 15th wedding anniversary, the children were away so decided on something special, we were not disappointed, the service, staff, room, breakfast perfect.

This is a lovely family hotel, and the son of the owner works at the desk..and is absolutely charming..as is everyone.

I took my daughter to London and Paris for her 18th birthday and we stayed at this lovely hotel.

We were also lucky enough to meet the owner Yves and his son Batiste, i hope i spelt that correctly, awesome family and very welcoming.

Just returned from 1 week Paris visit with two teens.

I spent nine days at Hotel Relais St. Germain  with my daughter and grand-daughter at the end of July.

I had a great stay here while visiting my daughter who is studying in France.

Bed linens were soft and inviting and there was a sleeper couch for our young daughter which was perfect.

This time we took two teenagers, who shared a twin room next to ours - they loved it, it was perfect.

As we were leaving the hotel, passing the delightful Marie, my granddaughter captured my feelings when she said "I love this hotel. Everyone is so nice and happy."

Our room (54) was amazing and plenty large for 3 people (and certainly would have been fine for 2 adults and 2 kids).

My son is autistic and does not manage transition well - he slept like a baby and tremendously enjoyed the atmosphere of our room, sitting room downstairs and restaurant.

It is also easily walkable to Notre Dame, the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens and Le Marais.

We could walk to the Luxembourg gardens, Ile de le Cite, Notre Dame, the Louvre and many other museums and sites from this location.

Be sure to take a stroll in the close-by Luxembourg gardens.

Step outside and there are bars and restaurants all around, plus Luxembourg Gardens, Bd St Germain, Mabillon . .

It is an ideally located hotel, in a quiet area, 2 minutes to the Odeon, 5 minutes to the Luxembourg Gardens, easy walk to the Sein.

Lovely little boutique hotel in a superb location to walk to the Orsay, Louvre, Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens.

but it should be noted that the area where the hotel is located is the biggest attraction as you can walk to the Luxembourg Gardens, the Seine or stroll to great shopping or sightseeing very quickly.

The staff was friendly, the room gorgeously decorated, and it is located in walking distance of Parthenon Luxembourg Gardens Seine and taxi stand.

The location, a short distance off Blvd St Germaine, is excellent for walking to Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, the Louvre, and the Latin Quarter.

You are close to Luxembourg Gardens, and there are a lot of nice cafes in the neighborhood.

This is a quaint old hotel with an AMAZING restaurant with great service
I loved the apartment feel of the room (20 I think?)

You MUST go to the restaurant in the hotel (even

Food in the restaurant was great, breakfast was nothing special.

Leah, Amerique, Jill , Anna, Marianne at the resto too, are all wonderful.

We had lunch at Le Comptoir too which was delicious.

Yves Camdeborde owns the hotel and restaurant and is one of the most respected chefs in Paris.

There are always queues to gain entry both for lunch and dinner.

And of course, we capped things off with a delicious dinner at the Comptoir itself.

Great breakfast in their high-class restaurant.

Having said all this, the real highlight of this place is the restaurant.

The Location is great, overlooks the quintessential French place ( plaza) with several dining places around the edge.

Very good food and as a guest of the hotel you have priority access to table.

I hesitate to praise le relais 
we dont want it to be so busy that we cannot get in when we want to return 
the management are courteous helpful  and quietly efficient 
ditto the restaurant and  hospitality people too 
the location is outstanding 
le comptoir restaurant adjacent is delicious 
the hotel is comfortable clean and quirky
we love le relais  we love paris we cannot wait to return

We liked the food at Le Comptoir so much that we ate there three nights out of six.

--The Carrefour de l'Odeon is one of the best addresses on the Left Bank, close to all our favorite galleries, cafes, and restaurants in St Germain des Pres.

We first stayed here 25 years ago and during that time that have made some ideal improvements---they upgraded rooms and now they have a spectacular restaurant (Le Comptoir).

Our one dinner at Le Comptoir was very good,

Unfortunately we realized that the room reeked of cigarette smoke.

The other drawback is that we were smelling the food specifically the meat up to our room which was on the third floor.
