HÔTEL SAINT-PAUL RIVE GAUCHE ^{* * * *}

My daughter and I had a lovely stay. Our room was immaculate and beautifully appointed. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel staff gracious and helpful. Location was ideal near Odeon Metro and Luxembourg Gardens. I would gladly stay here again on a future trip.

My daughter and I had the loveliest time at Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche. The front desk staff greeted me by name at check in. Our room was comfortable and spotless. Stephanie gave us a great suggestion to visit the Cluny Middle Ages Museum. I had the delicious buffet breakfast one morning and was very grateful that it was available. The location is ideal in short walking distance to the Luxembourg RER and Odeon Metro stations. We loved the neighborhood; it seemed full of young French people (Sorbonne students?) and few tourists. I would gladly stay here again as the experience was perfect in every way!

Tout était parfait

I am posting an update to respond to the false accusations made by Valerie Benigno of Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche regarding construction at the hotel. The original review, and photos of Valerie's response are attached as photos.||||1) Valerie stated that I was notified by the hotel multiple times that there was construction going on, and that I had the opportunity to cancel.||||My response: During my multiple email communications to book the hotel, the construction was never mentioned. Also, Valerie kept on changing her story. She stated that the Hotel notified Travelzoo that the construction which was originally scheduled in the summer was moved up, and that it was Travelzoo's obligation to notify customers. Travelzoo states they never received any notification from Hotel Saint Paul Rive Gauche and would not send customers to this kind of situation.||||2) I had booked multiple vouchers, and Valerie falsely accused me of lying/manipulating things just to receive a refund.||||I did initially go for one night by myself (on a Friday night, checking out on Saturday. During that initial stay, I was already displeased by the construction outside the window. However, there was no construction noise on Saturday morning, so I just let it go even though it was tolerable but not ideal to have construction. After a 1 day conference at another location in Paris, I returned for my 2 day stay there. There was loud construction noise on both Monday and Tuesday mornings, waking us up at 8:21a.m. Again the hotel denies this and saying hammering only started at 9a.m., but we have time-stamped videos showing construction noise at 8:21a.m. We could not sleep and subsequently got sick from the lack of rest. We then cancelled the remaining 2 nights and found another hotel in Paris.||||As a Travelzoo customer for more than 14 years, I have booked more than 50+ hotels/experiences, and this is the worst one. Valerie is dishonest and accuses me of manipulating things to get a refund.||||Most Travelzoo merchants have provided a great experience. I do not appreciate false accusations and dishonesty like Valerie has demonstrated. I have notified Travelzoo of this dishonest and unethical behavior and hope they will stop doing business with this hotel.||||Valerie states they provide great value. Not true. Many other better hotels. Don't stay at this hotel.||||---------------------------------------------------||Original review: March 12, 2025||||Lots of construction going on, and was woken up by nonstop, banging and hammering that shook the room||The construction noise and smoking from workers outside the room, made it very difficult to get rest.||||There was extension scaffolding, and there were construction workers, buckets, paint materials, as well as nails outside our room at about 8:21am, there was loud hammering and banging outside our window. This woke both of us up and this banging and hammering continued until 10:30 AM when we left the room. It happened on weekdays. And we could not get the rest. When we opened the window to get some fresh air, there was a worker right outside our window smoking, and our room was now filled with smoke.||||We booked the hotel via Travelzoo, which generally selects good quality hotels. The construction was not mentioned by Travelzoo, or on the hotel website. We only found out when we arrived. We have canceled the rest of our stay at this hotel because we could not sleep there properly and are exhausted.||||Having traveled extensively to many countries and stayed in many hotels this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a hotel.||||Attaching photos of the view outside our room.

Ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel mit wunderschönen , gut durchdachten Zimmern voller Charme und einem wohlig gemütlichen Hauch von Luxus . Die Ausstattung war sehr gut , alles was man benötigt war zur Hand . Das Frühstück konnte man im Kellergewölbe einnehmen , was ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis vermittelt. Vom Hotel aus kann man zu Fuß bequem Sehenswürdigkeiten erreichen . Es waren nur 2 Übernachtungen aber mein Mann und Ich werden dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen und hoffentlich bald wieder erleben dürfen . Ganz herzlichen Dank für den sehr guten Service .
