Hotel de Seine

The location is excellent — only a 16–20 minute walk to the Louvre and Notre-Dame. There are many restaurants nearby, and the area has a nice artistic vibe.

Hotel de Seine was perfect for us in every way! The staff was welcoming when we arrived. The room was large for Europe, standards, and had all the amenities. The location absolutely could not be beat. So close to the Seine and also close to all of the wonderful and vibrant cafes and restaurants and shops in St. Germaine! I will stay here every time I’m in Paris!

The location of this hotel is definitely a highlight—walking distance to great restaurants, cafes, and plenty of things to do. The breakfast smelled delicious each morning, though we didn’t get a chance to try it. (That said, we’re still not sure why we could smell it so clearly from our room on the 6th floor.) We booked a “superior” room, but it was incredibly small for two guests. It would likely be much more comfortable for a solo traveler. The wash closet was surprisingly spacious, but unfortunately, it wasn’t clean. There was mold in the shower grout in multiple areas. Water also leaked onto the bathroom floor due to the glass barrier setup, which added to the frustration. The bed was not comfortable—mediocre at best. On a positive note, the AC worked very well (probably helped by the small size of the room), but the air in the room was stuffy and had an odd, musty smell—likely made worse by the bathroom condition. One note: the elevator is very small, but that’s expected in an older building. It wasn’t an issue for us, but it’s worth mentioning for future travelers. In our opinion, this hotel is not truly a 3- star property. It felt more like a 2 star experience, and we’re giving it 1 star due to the extensive mold issue, which is unacceptable at any level and directly impacted both the air quality and the overall comfort of the room.

Staff were great, rooms are a bit dated. Area is really good.
