Le Notre Dame  

Corner room with beautiful view of Notre Dame and Seine river. Design room and lobby area. The hotel was situated in front of rive Seine and just opposite of Notre Dame catholic church. Romantic walks along the river banks, a world famous bookshop nearby (Shakespeare and Co.), the bridge where in love couples affix their love locks, swearing eternal love...

No coffee machine available in the room, no slippers, and no wc brush (!!!!!). In a three nights stay no change of bed sheets...What a pity...

Hotel is comfortable, funky and the location is excellent- Close to Notre Dame, Restaurants, and across the road from the rer station with direct line to Versailles and the Airport. Could not fault the room, perhaps bathroom was a little smaller than other hotels but this was expected and in no way hidden. Staff were mostly friendly and very eager to help wherever they could.

There is no elevator from the street to the Lobby on Level 1- very inconvenient when traveling with luggage as we were. Also, I have some serious reservations about the security procedures in place at the hotel. You are asked to leave your key at reception when you leave the hotel- which we did, and collect on your return, which we did (as unusual as it seems). When we returned to pick up the key on all occasions, we were never asked for a name or any sort of proof of identity before it was given back to us, we simply said room xx and were handed the key. This was with several staff, most of whom we had not seen before. Also, I emailed the hotel in advance about facilities for luggage storage after check out and was assured there was facilities available. The facilities referred to consist of leaving your luggage in the corridor near the reception desk, at the top of the stairs from the street. They are not locked up at all and are 'watched' by Reception. Again, was not a problem but seems a little questionable.

If you want to sleep in the Notre Dame hotel, please book a room with a view as the view at the Notre Dame is stunning. Our room was 51 and very nice. The interior is done by Chrstian Lacroix and it is quite special and nicely done. The walls are covered with wallpaper with designs of old paintings. Reallo cool! The double bed was big and comfortable and again the view!!! The sound of the street does not come in because the window are isolatiing good so we did not experience any noise although this hotel is situated at a very busy street in paris. There was a problem with the hot water but it got solved. The staff offered us the breakfast as compensation. Normally I don't take breakfast in the hotel but I have to say that it was quite romantic, in small sofas. We received fresh juice, chocolate bread, croissants, coffee and jam. It was nice. To be in this hotel at the price we paid, it was really worth it and not expensive.

The bathroom is very small but if you know Paris a litlle bit, you know that this is normal.

Ottima posizione! Comodo ai mezzi, con le fermate della rer e della metro di fronte alla porta, ma ideale anche per camminare, avendo il quartiere latino alle spalle e Notre Dame, Hotel de la Ville, Marais, ecc... Di fronte. Camere non grandissime ma accoglienti, pulite e silenziose. Colazione semplice in hotel ma numerose brasserie appena sotto.

We were given room '32' a lovely room directly facing Notre Dame. The room was neat and tidy. Downside was bathroom which was cramped and a dodgy shower. It was good value for money.

Excellent location. The staff was really helpful and kind.Inside decoration of the hotel and rooms is made by C.Lacroix is a "to see". Maybe, the only bad thing is the size of the elevator and rooms but hey, typical Paris right? We thought that it makes it even more authentic with the amazing view that we had over Notre Dame.

Great location. The Metro and rer is just beneath the stairs, and have direct access to almost everywhere in Paris. The view is amazing. You have a Notre Dame sight live on your window square. You also have free wifi which is great.

The elevator issue is continuing, as I recall it was mentioned a lot before. The first day I arrived it was not working but was fixed in 20 minutes, and then could I carry back my luggage in the room. Unfortunately you have to carry your luggage without anylift just at the entrance to the hotel too. The breakfast could have been better, just a drink and a croissant is not called breakfast. At least some cheese could have been offered, after all, we are in France, right?

The view! We could see Notre Dame from our room and it's location is awesome. Right around the corner from some great restaurants and bars. Also, very close to the Metro and the rer. Great staff and location made this a great place to stay!

No minibar in the rooms. It is understandable considering the size of the rooms but they lounge is great and is available 24 hours a day. The lounge also has great views of Notre Dame!

Location was excellent. Interior design striking.

No hot water early in morning

Great view of Notre Dame (if you're prepared to pay extra for 'a room with a view').

Worth going once for that window view of Notre Dame - but if you can only afford a 'non-view' room, then frankly it's not worth it. We paid 250 euros for one night (view room) - but from what I recollect the non-views weren't significantly cheaper. It's also on the noisy main river-boulevard (but the double glazing does cut the noise down a lot). The hotel is starting to feel a little scuzzy too - it's not old, it was done-over about 5 years ago as a designer boutique, but even now it feels tired and a little careworn. Rooms are tiny (but so are most of Paris' hotel bedrooms). I'm glad I stayed that one night, as I'll remember that up-front view of Notre Dame forever, but I won't be going back.

Excvellent decore that was unusual but tastefully done and perfect for paris!

Should offer free coffee

I went to Europe with my friend from college, we are two young females. This hotel was in a great location and we always felt very safe. It was charming and very clean. We could see the Notre Dame and Seine out our window. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Great little hotel right across from Notre Dame. Walking distance to Louvre, close to several restaurants, hop on/ hop off, tube and shopping.
