Hôtel Le Notre Dame Saint Michel

“Clean, Cozy, Comfortable and in a fantastic location”

Location, location, location. This is the second time my sister have stayed here, and we will stay here again. We usually travel every year to Paris together, and we have stayed pretty much all over in the past 14 years. We originally chose this hotel due to its proximity to everything we wanted to do, and it did not disappoint. We enjoy walking a lot in order to work off the calories we consume, and this is the perfect location to do so. It's also great if you decide to take the Metro instead of walking back, as a station is steps from the front door. Like last time, we booked a room with a view of the Seine and Notre Dame, and it did not disappoint. The hotel is clean, cozy, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and kind, patiently allow you to practice your French on them , and very helpful. We arrived in the early morning from the States, as we normally do, and took the RER into the city. RER B takes you directly to the hotel, with an elevator entrance/exit a few yards from the hotel. We got to the hotel about 9 am. Our room wasn't ready, but we were able to leave our luggage there while we went to grab breakfast at a nearby cafe on Ile St. Louis. We came back about an hour later to grab something from our bags and were told our room was ready. We had booked the Room Notre Dame on the 4th floor and had a fantastic view of the cathedral. The room was what was expected, size wise, and it had a standing shower, safe, small desk, and some chairs. The bed was comfortable, and the curtains suitably blocked out any light from the street and the sun. We did not have any issues with noise from the street, but we also sleep with a white noise machine. The walls are thin, and we could sometimes hear our neighbors, but it's an older building, and we were hardly in our room. Note that you have to walk up stairs to get to the reception, but we saw them help other guests with their heavier luggage if needed. There is a small elevator from the reception floor that goes to the rest of the floors above. There is a breakfast that you can either book with your room or purchase in the morning. There are a TON of restaurants, cafes, and things to see and do within easy walking distance to the hotel, and it was great to have the hotel so conveniently located if we needed to take a quick rest from a long walk or a large meal. The only thing we wish there was, was some extra hooks in the bathroom to hang our towels, but we ultimately were fine without them. We are coming back in the fall, after the Olympics, and we have already rebooked the hotel for that visit.

“Clean, comfortable & convenient”

I was a little concerned when entering to get to lobby you had to go up about 15 steps and we were luggage heavy since we were bringing holiday presents to family in Paris and bringing back presents for US family so that was a little tricky but their web site declares in several places that you have steps to lobby so this was all on me and I missed that. FYI, there was no one for luggage help. Once in the lobby the small elevator was right there and worked great. The location is fabulous... Lying in bed and seeing Notre Dame lit up at night (even w/ her scaffolding) was awe inspiring and watching the Seine flow by was a plus. The RER train right across the street, metro a couple blocks in 2 different directions. One side of the hotel does face a busy street and our room on the 4th floor faced that street but the window kept out most of the noise except for sirens but at night we were so exhausted I did not hear a thing.. There were multiple cafes, restaurants close and a few charming allys with shops & restaurants directly behind the hotel. The room, actually roomy for a European hotel, was charming and clean, comfortable and the linens and towels were all fluffy, the pillows were great and the mattress was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always had great advice. We skipped the breakfast since there were so many cafes around and we were always on the go to somewhere so we chose to grab breakfast and mosy on. Their price for breakfast was competitive with what we paid off premises. I'd take clean, comfortable & cozy over fancy & fussy any day so I'd go back to this hotel on my next stay...

“Basic room in a good location”

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in September of 2023. We stayed in a standard room with a view of Notre Dame. The room itself is perfectly adequate. It had all of the amenities you would expect to have in a standard hotel room. It was pretty small, and nothing fancy. There is no mini fridge or coffee. The room is a bit dated as well. The double bed was very comfortable though. We didn't have breakfast, which was quite expensive at 10 Euros each per day. The staff was just ok. They didn't do anything wrong, but they didn't go out of their way to make our stay great. No one asked how our stay was, if it was comfortable, or if we needed anything. It was just basic. Not that I need them to fawn over me, but there was nothing special to write home about. What you're paying for is the location. The view of Notre Dame was fantastic, and we were so close to everything. It made getting around really easy. The downside is that it's very noisy. Being on the street meant hearing the traffic, sirens and people yelling at all hours of the night. This is a 3-star hotel for a reason. I would recommend staying here if location is really important to you. Just don't expect anything fancy, it's a standard, basic hotel.
