Hotel Cardinal Rive Gauche  

We got a good deal on price. It was within easy walking distance of the metro. It is situated in a very pleasant area. It was kept very clean. The young man on night duty was exceptionally helpful.

The first room we were given was tiny so we asked to be moved. The second room was still quite small but I suppose average for a city hotel. It was a little bit far from the main attractions so walking was not really an option. The breakfast was overpriced, this seemed to be the case in a lot of Paris hotels.

Friendly helpful staff, nice clean comfortable rooms and good location.

Our normal power socket adapter did not fit into the hotel sockets. The hotel didn't have an adapter that did fit. However we bought a suitable adapter easily enough from a tourist souvenir shop. The hotel sockets required the circular two prong adapter, so I would recommend checking the one you may have before you go.

At 3 am woke up because of strong smell of cigarettes (in non-smoking room), smell did not disappear till morning.

Location

Hairdryer was broken room backed onto yard at the back of hotel - as a result I was woken up by staff at 5am and several times following, moving bins around and plates/crockery in preparation for breakfast

Location was good. Room was clean.

Noise early in the morning because of rubbish disposal.

This is a great hotel for a great price. Nice, clean & great location. There are not many amenities with the exception of a dinning area... However, if you are traveling to visit the city, it is perfect. We were traveling with our 4 yr old & the staff were very accommodating & made sure they were looking out for our daughter's needs. It is a Great location in the Latin Quarter and easy to get to all major tourist attractions... We either walked or took public transportation pretty much everywhere, therefore found the hotel's location very convenient ( two RER train stations, a Metro station & two bus stops very close buy).

Friendly staff, great location and very nicely renovated rooms with new bathrooms.Not all rooms have new bathrooms yet, but are in the process of getting done. Great value for money! I've been there many times now and will definetely get back.

Good breakfast, no noises in the room, friendly staff.

Location, checkin in a few seconds, room was too small however we got a better room in no time.

Hotel location is very convenient, in the quiet street. Even if you are busy in the daytime, you can take an advantage of hotel location to explore Latin Quarter, Montparnasse and other interesting nearby Paris areas at night. Les Gobelins metro station is the nearest one. (Although the distance to Port Royal rer b station is longer (about 900 m), for those who go to the hotel from Charles de Gaulle airport I would suggest to get directly to Port Royal station rather than go through an endless passage from rer b to line 7 at Chatelet-Les Halles). Hotel staff was always friendly. A single room was big enough, and street view from the window was nice.

Hotel breakfast seemed to be overpriced, that's why I did not take it. (One breakfast has been erroneously included into my bill, but after my explanations they removed it with no objections). There are no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, unfortunately. A chair in the room needed renovation or replacement.

Not too far from main tourist attractions.

Would probably choose something a little closer to the Seine next time.

I liked the cleanliness of the bedroom, specially the bathroom, very modern and spotless! Very friendly staff too at the reception

The bath towels, so rough! A kettle would be lovely to have there to have a cup of tea before going to bed... : )

Clean hotel on a quiet street in the Latin Quarter. Lots of bistros nearby for coffee and breakfast if you don't buy the in-house breakfast. Transportation via Metro is easy, especially if you write in to the hotel and ask for specific directions (I was coming from Gare du Nord). Bus 27 stop to Notre Dame and Opera areas couldn't be closer and it is right next to a cash machine! People at reception helpful with Metro and bus directions, etc. (pronunciation too!). Talked to others in the hotel who were also satisfied.

Was bit more expensive than I liked, but I was booking late for a three day weekend, so other hotels were more expensive too. In spite of this, good value for the money, particularly with free internet.

This hotel is in a great location. We walked to all the monuments. The area is lovely with lots of good priced restaurants nearby. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Rooms were compact but newly decorated and very clean. Would recommend it
