I would stay there again, but understanding that the room was not meant to spend a lot of time in because of the size.. Love the small boutique hotel charm and the very friendly hotel staff. The room was so small, it was hard to walk around with two suitcases open. The bathroom was small . Despite the small space, the bed was very comfortable..

Happy With Our Stay. We thought this quaint boutique hotel was ideally located since it was within walking distance to train stations, Luxembourg Garden, Notre Dame and plenty of shops and restaurants. There was scaffolding around the building (we missed the hotel entrance twice cause of it), but never noticed any construction activity or noise. The staff was warm, pleasant and helpful. The room itself was clean and comfortable. If I had to nitpick, it would be the height of the bathtub. Higher than what I’m accustomed to, I assume it’s a European thing, since our London hotel room also had a high tub. Regardless, we were very pleased with our stay.. .

Perfect base for my daughter and I to explore Paris. Very quaint hotel full of character. Great location in the Latin Quarter which is bustling from morning through to late evening. We were upgraded to a superior two floor room as there are renovations to the roof going on, but in truth these didn't impact our trip at all. Staff friendly and accommodating. We would return to this hotel and area in a heartbeat. Next time I will try much more of the French I'm learning!. .

Ideal base for exploring Paris.. Great location, classic French hotel, very, very friendly staff in a city not exactly renowned for customer service!. .

Fantastic family-run hotel. This is a very special little find, which I discovered via Sawday's. A friendly, family run hotel with spacious rooms. Great location too - easy to walk to many different sights. . .

Do NOT book this hotel. Lots of construction noise, dishonest staff. I am posting an update to respond to the false accusations made by Valerie Benigno of Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche regarding construction at the hotel. The original review, and photos of Valerie's response are attached as photos.
1) Valerie stated that I was notified by the hotel multiple times that there was construction going on, and that I had the opportunity to cancel.
My response: During my multiple email communications to book the hotel, the construction was never mentioned. Also, Valerie kept on changing her story. She stated that the Hotel notified Travelzoo that the construction which was originally scheduled in the summer was moved up, and that it was Travelzoo's obligation to notify customers. Travelzoo states they never received any notification from Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche and would not send customers to this kind of situation.
2) I had booked multiple vouchers, and Valerie falsely accused me of lying/manipulating things just to receive a refund.
I did initially go for one night by myself (on a Friday night, checking out on Saturday. During that initial stay, I was already displeased by the construction outside the window. However, there was no construction noise on Saturday morning, so I just let it go even though it was tolerable but not ideal to have construction. After a 1 day conference at another location in Paris, I returned for my 2 day stay there. There was loud construction noise on both Monday and Tuesday mornings, waking us up at 8:21a.m. Again the hotel denies this and saying hammering only started at 9a.m., but we have time-stamped videos showing construction noise at 8:21a.m. We could not sleep and subsequently got sick from the lack of rest. We then cancelled the remaining 2 nights and found another hotel in Paris.
As a Travelzoo customer for more than 14 years, I have booked more than 50+ hotels/experiences, and this is the worst one. Valerie is dishonest and accuses me of manipulating things to get a refund.
Most Travelzoo merchants have provided a great experience. I do not appreciate false accusations and dishonesty like Valerie has demonstrated. I have notified Travelzoo of this dishonest and unethical behavior and hope they will stop doing business with this hotel.
Valerie states they provide great value. Not true. Many other better hotels. Don't stay at this hotel.

Lots of construction going on, and was woken up by nonstop, banging and hammering that shook the room
The construction noise and smoking from workers outside the room, made it very difficult to get rest.
There was extension scaffolding, and there were construction workers, buckets, paint materials, as well as nails outside our room at about 8:21am, there was loud hammering and banging outside our window. This woke both of us up and this banging and hammering continued until 10:30 AM when we left the room. It happened on weekdays. And we could not get the rest. When we opened the window to get some fresh air, there was a worker right outside our window smoking, and our room was now filled with smoke.
We booked the hotel via Travelzoo, which generally selects good quality hotels. The construction was not mentioned by Travelzoo, or on the hotel website. We only found out when we arrived. We have canceled the rest of our stay at this hotel because we could not sleep there properly and are exhausted.
Having traveled extensively to many countries and stayed in many hotels this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a hotel.
Attaching photos of the view outside our room.. .
