Residence Unic Saint Germain, Paris

Advantages: Location, price, atmosphere
Disadvantages: None

...Very comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms with exposed stone walls and tapestries. Great price out of high season and a wonderful position. There is a cafe/bar just across the street for breakfast. (I would never take breakfast in a Paris hotel, they are often over-priced and questionable quality.) Easy walking distance to the bars and restaurants of the Left Bank, also Notre Dame, the Sorbonne, Jardin du Luxembourg and the Marais. Maubert Mutualité Metro station only 50 metres away for easy access to all other Paris attractions, although the road up to the hotel is quite steep if you are carrying heavy luggage. For local interest, there is a lively street market in Place Maubert and the local shops are a delight of colours and tastes. A super location for exploring the history of Paris as well as sipping...

...I have just stayed in the Artus hotel on my first to Paris and was really impressed with it. It was difficult knowing which area to stay in but was totally pleased with our decision to stay here. The Artus is in the Saint Germain area of Paris which is on the left bank of the River Seine and adjacent to the Latin Quarter. The hotel is ideally placed as it is central to the main places that you would want to visit in Paris (Arc de Triumphe, Eiffle Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral etc) The Rue de Buci, the road the Artus is on a great little street it's bustling with cafes bars and restaurants and there are some great independant shops and art galleries here and on the adjacent streets. The nearest underground Metro stop is barely 3 mins walk away (Mabillion) or 5 mins walk will take you to St Germain des Pres Metro stop which... Read review
