Academie Hotel Saint Germain

Nothing much really...the bathrooms and new and renovated but everything else was below acceptable

Hotel staff was not very friendly on our first arrival... additionally the room was not very clean, heater worked intermittantly and water came through the bathroom windows when it rained. I heard that generally Paris´ hotels are below standard but did not expect this for the amount paid.

It is central

Basic comfort, not clean, tiny little room with a tiny little bed coming apart.

Great location, very pleasant staff, clean, adequate accomodations.

The room was very small, though adequate for one person. When I was last there with my husband we upgraded to the deluxe category to have room for our luggage.

Good friendly staff

No running water for several days, no hot water

Good location

We were given a deluxe dbl plus a cot. The room was way too small for 3 beds. Should not advertise as such situation.

i did not like so I left after one night

room so so small for the price; for me it an abuse. i was very disapointed

Well situated for sightseeing and Metro etc.

No Information pack in room.

Location!. It was perfect to go anywhere in Paris. It is easy to access on foot or just few stop by Metro to most of museums, shopping area and nice cafes. Also, the hotel is clean enough and some taste which big hotel group does not have. It is good to feel you are in Paris. And most of staff is very kind and speaking good English.

The room I stayed for single was really small, even the price was for 2, I do not think you can stay in the room for 2 people. In addition, the shower room was really small, I am quite skinny but I feel too small to have shower in the place. But overall, the bed sheet was quite beautiful and furniture is not bad and good point in the summer, the room has air condition. The room is enough for 1 person to relax in the night.

It's close proximity to the major attractions, museums in particular of Paris. We also enjoyed the charm and cozyness of a small inn. Although we would have preferred a larger bedroom, we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the bathroom (given European standards) and really appreciated the fact that the air conditioning worked well and heavy draperies kept out the morning sun.

When we arrived by train to Paris, we took a taxi to the hotel. However, we didn't get very far because of a "gay" parade traveling down the main boulevard near the side street where the Academie Hotel was. Our taxi driver practically dumped us out in the middle of the city without a map or any directions as to how to walk to our hotel. We stopped at another hotel to call our hotel but they didn't offer to send anyone to pick us up. I was shocked! We had traveled all day to get there and then, had walked in circles for nearly an hour, prior to stopping off at the other hotel. I thought the fact that they didn't offer to help us by sending a driver or offering detailed walking-map instructions did not reflect well on the management or staff. The only other complaints that I have is in regard to the extremely poor lighting in the room and lack of towels. Other than those concerns (and I'm referring primarily to our transport crisis), we did enjoy our stay and the people were very helpful and friendly.

Its location in the 6th arrondissement is excellent for walking access to all of the left bank and for the Louvre and many areas on the right bank. The room was plain and quite small, but perfectly adequate and it has A/C, which was critical in the summer in Paris.

Staff were pleasant and helpful. The location is excellent for walking to most museums etc.

The room was very small for the price. It was not possible to turn around in the shower. The television was huge but the hotel did not have either cnn or bbc World which would have been useful.

Its a very nice, well located hotel, with an appealing 'old world' atmosphere. I've stayed there before and will do so again.

It's a bit overpriced, even by Paris standards.

The location of the hotel is everything!!! Right in the middle of "the place to be" in Paris. No need to buy the expansive breakfast at the hotel since there are many bakeries nearby that offer beautiful bread rolls and other delightful things. Bed was a bit too small (I am 1.84m) but big enough for a romantic week with my girlfriend.

During our stay they were renovating on all floors. Did not cause any disturbance (they worked while we were in the city) but they should have done it years ago. Our room still needs to be renovated: half of the tiles in the bathroom are broken, ceiling is coming down and the shower is leaking. Room itselve is okay, but the ceiling needs a new paintjob.
