HÔTEL DES MINES ^{* *}

We stayed at the Hotel des Mines at the end of April 2025. It was our first stop after traveling across the Atlantic with 2 young children, 3 and 5 years old, arriving first thing one morning. We chose the hotel given it’s proximity to the Luxembourg Gardens and the playground located within. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay there again.

1. Rooms: We are a family of 4 and wanted a room that could accommodate all of us. The family room was perfect. A large bed for the parents and 2 twins for the kids. It was large enough to accommodate all of our travel luggage, as well (2 large suitcases, 2 umbrella strollers and 2 backpacks.
2. Metro: We flew into CDG around 830AM and took the metro in. There is a stop very close which made this the best option for us. It also makes it very easy to see the rest of the city quickly.
3. Proximity to Luxembourg Gardens: This park is amazing and has a playground (nominal fee) that our kids loved. There are also pony rides 2x’s a week. An attempt to overcome jetlag and keep two tiny humans occupied and cheerful with little sleep, staying close to this park was clutch. It allowed our very tired kids a really fun outdoor space to keep them up through early afternoon to align there clocks with Paris time. It worked beautifully. We visited every afternoon.
4. Friendly staff
5. Grocery store nextdoor. This was super helpful for snack /fruit purchasing daily.
6. Bonus: There was a refrigerator in our room. This was a surprise to us and one we were super thankful for. We kept it stocked with yogurt and fruit so ensure our little ones had healthy snacks at night if they were hungry.
We are happy to have found the hotel via many other reviews online. I would definitely recommend it to any solo traveler, couple or family.

Lovely room with wooden beams and a small veranda(502) very clean hotel with comfortable beds and in a beautiful area of Paris. Felt very safe walking at night and the public transport is plentiful with regular buses and trams taking you to all other areas. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty with lots of choice an lots of restaurant choices in the area. Short walk to the beautiful Luxembourg gardens. The true value of this hotel is the staff, housekeeping are wonderful and the reception staff go above and beyond to help. I would highly recommend a stay here

A bright airy foyer which also served as breakfast area. Our room was a decent size & we had requested a shower stall for preference & we got that. Tea & coffee making facilities, a safe & mini fridge. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast choice was really good, salad bar & fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals & jars with dried fruits & nuts. Cold meats & cheeses, juices.|Most importantly, the entire staff were courteous & helpful. The hotel is a 20 minute walk from Notre Dame & Luxembourg station is a 5 minute walk away.|Highly recommend Hotel des Mines |Christina & Micheal, Dublin ????????

Ambiente tranquillo. L'hotel è in ottima posizione a 20 minuti a piedi da Notre Dame. Sorbona e Pantheon nelle vicinanze. Il personale dell'hotel molto disponibile. L'unico neo potrebbe essere il bagno di piccole dimensioni su alcuni piani. Abbiamo, poi, saputo che ci sono cmq camere con bagni più grandi. In ogni caso sicuramente consigliato!

1) Location - quiet, even though it’s roughly in the 1/2 way between Pantheon and Luxembourg Gardens. There are great nearby restaurants/ cafes/ shops, all within 10 mins walk. Luxembourg station a few mins down Blvd, got the RER direct from airport then just walked a few mins up Blvd to hotel! Don’t overlook bus options-loads of routes v close, we got one to Pont de Concord for the Orangerie|2) Staff - friendly but efficient |3) Boutique feel|4) Big bed|5) Breakfast|6) Noon check-out|7) It was our wedding anniversary, and per my request, they arranged flowers and Prosecco to be in the room upon our arrival-thank you
