Small clean quiet room. Surley receptionist and disappointed by the lack of free Wifi. But overall it suited our needs perfectly. Would return.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms and shower cubicle too small. Everything functions well.
Overall I found the room (single) a decent size for a Parisian hotel (given most rooms tend to fall very much on the smaller end of the scale) and very clean and tidy. The bathroom was modern and good quality as well. Double glazed windows kept out the (very busy) exterior street noise well and inside I couldn`t really hear other guests either (although I was back quite kate most evenings). Very good location as well - close to St Germain and the Latin Quarter. Around 10-15 mins walk to Notre Dame I`d say. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff too and reasonably cheap wifi access (via Orange for which the hotel can give you a password). All in all I felt excellent value for money.
We booked hotel Des Nations off the back of generaly good reviews and found the hotel to be clean with very friendly and helpful staff, it`s well located only 15 mins walk to Notre Dame!There are plenty of shops and patisseries around for food and we never felt worried about walking around late at night. We stayed for 3 days, and the hotel location was perfect for this, Cardinal Lemoine and Place Monge metro are near by only 2 mins walk to either station (the hotel sits between both stations). Yes the hotel is a bit scruffy round the edges (chipped paint and signs of wear and tear, not something that worries myself) but sheets and towels were changed everyday air conditioning worked great, there was a tv and a kettle for tea making and the showers were always hot and powerful, I really cant fault the hotel for the money we payed.
We had a leak in our bathroom ceiling, told the staff on reception who immediately, without any problem redirected us to another room where we stayed for a further 2 nights. The. staff were helpful and efficient - booked us on to a shuttle service to the airport. Breakfast was expensive.I would recommend this hotel to others
The hotel is in a good situation for the sights and the latin quarter which offer great restaurants and entertainment. We were disappointed this year that the breakfast was not included but had it anyway. There was also tea and coffee making facililties which were new and very acceptable. This is a small hotel which is clean and comfortable and close to metro and the sights and the latin quarter.
Rooms rather small but comfortable. Willing staff and decent buffet breakfast.
Very comfortable. Room a little on the small size but all "mod cons" . Clean and quite smart; the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for a city break , which is what my husband and I did.
Hotel room was adequate.. small as you expect in Paris - but our room was opposite the escalator - 2nd floor - which was out of order for a full day - but we didn`t have any noise from the lift however - we were on the front of the hotel and the street is very very busy - visited mid week - so think it might even be noisier on a weekend. It was comfortable enough tho and breakfast was fine - included scrambled eggs bacon and sausage - be careful of the dirctions from the hotel from Gard du Nord - it said just one stop on line 7 - NO - you have to get on line 5 first at Gard du Nord to Gare du E`st and then on line 7 - easy enough though.
We have just stayed at the Des Nations on our first visit to Paris.The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are very helpfull.The breakfasts are very filling and see you through the day,there are plenty of resturants nearby if you want an evening meal. We used the hotel as a centre for sightseeing and found our way to the places we wanted to see with out much trouble.We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival and departure. We would recomend the hotel to anyone who asks for somewhere to stay in Paris
A clean central hotel with helpful staff who were always eager to help whether with directions, information on sightseeing or our comfort. A great place from which to explore Paris.I would recommend and will certainly return.
Great position, good value for money and helpful staff. Room rather noisy, if one wanted the window open.
Des Nations was very warm and welcoming. They offered many things to help see the most things while in Paris. Offered a shuttle to pick us up from the hotel to take us to the airport. Worth the extra charge so I didn`t have to lug such huge luggage and souvineers through Paris and the Metro. The room was good. Small for our big bags. Outside was loud and our room was warm. Air conditioning wasn`t working well. Once the window was closed it was completely quiet, but stuffy. Breakfast was good. It was nice being walking distance from Notre Dame. I think I may come back to this hotel next time.
Great location in the Latin Quarter. Clean but small rooms, good size bathroom. V helpful reception staff - stayed for 3 nights and never saw the same person twice but all were excellent and fluent in English. Breakfast tad disappointing, hot buffet consists on hideous salty scrambled egg, v fatty bacon and strange sausages. Good value nontheless.
although the metro entrance was oppisite the hotel, there were 2 flights of stairs to negotiate,use alternative exit if handicapped
We both had a fabulous time in Paris. Des nations was a lovely, clean hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The size of the room was adequate for our stay. My only negative would be the air conditioning didn`t do the best job at cooling the room down. However, we did stay there in the middle of June when the temperature was around 30 C. The location was brilliant; in the latin quarter, 2 metro stations within short walking distance, and many bustling side streets nearby. Overall, it was a great place to stay.
...that it was clean & central would be its only positive aspects. However for the room size, the breakfast and staff`s attitude towards paying guests!!!....Hmmm!, we will be staying elsewhere next time!....
The hotel was located central to everything we wanted to see, the rooms were clean
Perfect stay with helpful staff. Lovely clean street facing room, a little small but hey its Paris,Great breakfast and perfect position for getting around.
The only negative points were the lack of a shower curtain, and the slightly disappointing breakfast... That said, I would probably stay there again.
hotel we could not fault with cleanliness,good location,very quiet,shower a bit to small,breakfast good.
The hotel is in a good district, very good for small restaurants and a great atmosphere at night (just up the steps by the monument). Bus or metro is easily accessible. The staff are friendly and helpful and while the rooms are small the standard is good. A nice breakfast attended by Franco Africans. It was a great place for a short break - although we met one Japanese lady who had been coming back for about 25
Very friendly staff and great breakfast! Unfortunately the room was tiny - you fall onto the double bed when walking into the room. It was however, very clean, neat and tidy.
This is a good hotel, with some real positives - location, cleanliness and it has friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast was a great start to the day and the hotel was lovely and warm. Just prepare yourself for a very small room - our shower cubicle was absolutely tiny! One other word of warning - Paris is sooooooo expensive, and now even more so with the weak £.
Staff very attentive and courteous, Excellent BreakfastBedroom was not totally cleaned on arrival.ideal for a short break
Hotel proved to be ideal for we four couples to enjoy the sights of Paris in four days! Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfasts, within two hundred yards of Metro (Cardinal Lemonte). Bedroom rather small, bathroom fine and service good. Plenty of choice of restaurants and excellent area for walking and sightseeing.
Room small but clean & tidy. Good breakfast & staff very helpful.
