Saint Sulpice, Paris

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: pigeons

...i do not recommend anyone to go here. yes the place houses a monument which is important for the history of french nationalism, but it is in a horribel part of town. the monument comes at the end of the boulevard saint-denis which to the rest of us is where by day all the trendy clothes shops are and by night ll the prodtitutes hang otu. it is an interesting area, and perhpas one that deserves to be seen to give a balanced view of paris, but it is less than pleasant. furhtermore the monument itself is plagued by mangy pigeons. there are so many other things in paris which are deserving of your attention - you can safely leave this one be....

Advantages: One of the most beautiful cities in the world!
Disadvantages: people often find Parisians unfriendly

...This is my favourite city in the whole world (although New York comes very close!) Paris really is everything you dreamed of.........stroll along the Champs Elysees at sunset and breathe in the atmosphere........see the sun set beind the Arc de Triomphe......it's picture postcard stuff, but here you are - living it! If you are a first time visitor to Paris, make sure you see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and Sacre Coeur. The Metro system is excellent, and this really is all doable even just in one day, if that is all you have.

Advantages: Location, price, atmosphere

...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 an aperitif... Read review
