“A superb boutique luxury hotel on a quiet street near the Seine. You couldn't ask for a more scenic and walkable property that is still so serene. The left bank is our favorite area to stay in general because it is less crowded than the shopping-heavy right bank, but you can walk or metro anywhere and return to your calm abode at the end of the day. The staff were all trilingual, as it is a Spanish brand, speaking English as well. Margot and Aldo at breakfast provided warm and attentive service. Montserrat, Teresa, and Raul at the front desk were so helpful, including using Melia’s connections to get us tickets to Musee d’Orsay when the public website was sold out. Well worth a few Euros commission for the convenience if you like to keep your plans flexible. The Elena Sorona suite was gorgeous. Only two things could improve it: adding a couple of standing lamps in the seating area and bedroom, as it can be a bit dark at night with the ceiling lights alone, and replacing the wobbly telescope at the window overlooking the beautiful Notre Dame with a comfy seat and ottoman. The tripod for the telescope is not really stable and fell over every time the wind blew, so we had to collapse it. For those who use a wheelchair or have accessibility concerns, the staff mentioned that there is a fully accessible suite you can book by contacting the hotel, and the hotel restaurant is on a flat level.”

“We stayed here for 10 days in April 2025 during a couples trip to Paris, and it truly felt like a trip of a lifetime. We booked the stay through Costco Travel, and the hotel completely exceeded our expectations. After a very long overnight journey to Paris, we arrived at the hotel extremely early in the morning. Even though it was early, the staff welcomed us warmly and had fresh croissants that had just come out of the oven. They were honestly the best croissants we have ever had. After traveling for so long, that small moment of hospitality made a huge impression. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything felt polished and thoughtfully prepared for guests. Throughout our stay the entire staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. The front desk and concierge team were excellent whenever we needed directions, recommendations, or help getting around the city. It also made things very easy that all of the staff spoke great English. The hotel restaurant was also very good and convenient after long days exploring Paris. Service was great and the food quality was impressive. One of the best parts of this hotel is the location. It is in an incredible spot for exploring the city. It is just a short walk to Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine River, the metro, and the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore. Being able to walk along the river and easily access public transportation made it the perfect home base for our trip. If we are lucky enough to visit Paris again, we would absolutely stay in this same neighborhood and would gladly choose this hotel again. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish and a place we will always remember. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris.”

“Nice enough hotel with very attentive staff… not sure I would go so far as to call it 5 stars. The rooms are small and a bit too cramped.”

“Excelente hotel en la antigua casa de Simone de Bouvoir. El servicio excelente y la mayoría del personal que te atiende es español y muy agradable. Estuvimos en nuestra luna de miel y estaba cerca de todo lo que queríamos visitar salvo el Montmatre. Repetiríamos. Las vistas desde la 33 son preciosas. (Translated by Google) Excellent hotel in the former home of Simone de Beauvoir. The service was superb, and most of the staff were Spanish and very friendly. We stayed there on our honeymoon, and it was close to everything we wanted to visit except Montmartre. We would definitely return. The views from Rue 33 are beautiful.”
