Familia Hotel

I found myself in Paris on a work trip and added a few days to the journey. I don't spend much time in my room when I travel and like to venture about on foot. My travel agent asked me to check out Hotel Familia for her and it did not disappoint. Reasonably priced basic hotel in a GREAT neighborhood. It is in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne, so it has something of the vibe of an American college town: Lots of restaurants and bars, easy walking, and a fun little shop or 2. Metro close by. 10 minute walk from Notre Dame. I booked a single so the room was tiny and I can't speak to the size of others but it's quite old so am guessing most rooms are small. It's a 2-star hotel, which means no concierge or bar or lounge, but I had a boiler for coffee and a room safe so was fine. I do hope Wilson (Wilton?) the delightful desk clerk stays forever: He was very friendly and helpful, knew the area, and was fun to chat with. I moved to the very-American airport Hilton the night before I flew home and while the room was larger and the place better appointed, I missed the Hotel Familia. I would return to this hotel.

Good location, very walkable but the room is tiny and we didn’t get a balcony. Much dirtier and smaller then in the pictures

Old and dated hotel with very small rooms. Only good thing is the location. Staff are not great, one woman was unkind on first interaction but the. Slowly warmed up, all 3 male front desk staff were rude, dismissive and barely acknowledged me.

The Familia Hotel was in close proximity to the train & there were many restaurants nearby. The room was small but it was a 2 star hotel so that’s to be expected. Staff were friendly & efficient. Would stay again because of the location.

This is a charming small hotel on the Rive Gauches. Staff is friendly and English is spoken. Rooms are immaculate. The shower was the best of my 3 week trip to Europe. Rooms are small but I have stayed in much smaller ones and paid more. The breakfast was good, although for the price, I’d you’ve got the time you may enjoy a cafe just as well. Easy one block walk to Metro and buses/taxis easily available across the street.

Absolutely lovely! The room was gorgeous, clean and cute with a sweet balcony. Staff were incredibly friendly and super helpful - an absolute delight. Lots of great places to eat and beautiful streets to wander nearby. Walkable to most sights and plenty of stations nearby. Would definitely recommend for service and stay. We loved it!

Amazing experience Get a balcony room well worth it. Wonderful stay! Hope to come back!
