Hôtel Des Mines  

First of all it is a good location in the corner of Boulevard St Michel and Boulevard Montparnasse. It is near to Les Closeries des Lilas and a jazz club. A Monoprix is next to the hotel and a small shop for vegetables and chocolate is open late in the evening on the other side of the street, very convenient. The RER train stop is ca 200 m away with direct access to Charles de Gaulle airport, which means no metro connection to bother with. The hotel recommends a bus to the airport which is double the price (a bit more comfortable, no stairs) but when there is heavy traffic it is not so convenient. Near the Luxembourg garden, and bus stops. There is a helpful staff and the hotel is not too big and busy. The breakfast is good. The room had nice curtains and decoration and gave a neat impression. I especially liked the colour of the bathroom. I had a room on the fifth floor to the inner yard which was very quiet.

The room was very clean although small, however the bathroom was large, clean and modern (probably too big compared to the room size). The hotel staff were friendly and the beds are made daily. The best thing about this hotel is probably the location, right next to the Luxembourg gardens and luckily street parking next to Lux gardens was free due to the public holiday weekend. Air conditioning was a bonus considering the warm weather. Wifi was very fast and reliable.

I've stayed in numerous Paris hotels and every time it is expensive and the rooms have been small so it is expected, the rooms here are also very small. It fits the bed and thats about it, we had a baby cot that would only fit if we rearranged the furniture. The TV signal kept dropping in and out. The metro runs beneath the hotel which I only heard one morning when I woke up early, otherwise it's not noticable. Breakfast wasn't included but we didnt eat there anyway, better breakfast for the same (or less Euros) can be found on Blvd Montparnasse or Blvd St Germain.

The location on the Left Bank and access to the Metro and cafes and restaurants was excellent. The hotel room was very comfortable and the staff very helpful. Double glazed windows meant that traffic noise was not an issue.

The location was excellent, close to rer and LUxembourg Garden is just a block away. Rooms were clean, especially bathrooms which were new. Enough space for three people, the rooms are small but not microscopically so. The stuff spoke good English and were extremely helpful and nice.

I would say that for the rate that they charge they could have included the breakfast or at least made it cheaper than 9EUROs. Other wise I greatly recommend this hotel and would definatelly stay here again.

Good location: Luxembourg garden, rer b straight line to Airport Charles de Gaulle (no escalator, no elevator, only stairs). Clean hotel. Supermarket nearby.

No mini-bar, no refrigarator, no tea facilities. Every 5-10 minutes the building is slightly trembling due to rer passing beneath the building. However from midnight to the early morning rer doesn't function. Noise from neighbors is easily heard. Parking places hard to find on near-by streets.

The hotelnis on top of the RER train tracks, so you feel and hear the trains from 5 am to 1 am. The hotel is close to the RER but far from the metro. The hotel is a bit run down and could use a makeover. Beds were confortable. Breakfast is expensive 9 euro, you can eat more and better down the road towards st-Michel. Request a room at the back of hotel, the front rooms are on the boulevard St-michel and it is a very busy street.

It is clean and comfortable I like it and I will choose it next travel in paris

The Hotel was conveniently located (literally a 2 minute walk from the rer direct to cdg airport) and close to lovely districts such as St Germain, St Michel and Luxembourg. We didn't have breakfast on site - found cheaper, nicer options locally, but staff were friendly and quite helpful, allowing us to leave baggage and collect later, etc. Rooms were clean, a little compact but fine for our needs - short stay. Not too noisy (only distant rumbling from the trainline below the hotel) and everything as you would expect to find it. Beds were comfortable, heating was warm and everything in working order. Would recommend to friends or visit again.

Convenient location with all sorts of shops and food places nearby. There is also a metro station close by and Notre Dame is walking distance!

Not the prettiest rooms, but they are clean and location is the important bit

Clean, friendly, well presented, very good for the price

Good location. clear room and reasonable price. especially the good taste of Sushi Shop in front of the hotel...

The room was painted in nice colours, the beds were comfortable, there was enough space around and there was even a bathtub which I didn't expect.

The hotel is one block away from RER to the CDG airport. And it is near a supermarket and many restaurants.

All the pillows are super flat and uncomfortable. We stayed in the quadruple room and the queen size mattress was not very comfortable, kind of sloping towards the edge of the bed.
