The Hotel Saint-Paul is truly a Parisian hidden jewel. We first stayed there over 20 years ago and finally made it back this March. We were overwhelmed by the fabulous remodel and many unique touches...padded fabric wall coverings and wholly updated baths. Nestled on a quiet street within easy walking distance to Odeon Metro, Luxemburg Gardens, and restaurants (shout out to Restaurant Polidor- literally next door) and shops on Boulevard Ste. Germaine & Ste. Michelle. However, what makes Hotel Saint-Paul Rive Gauche stand out is the consummate commitment to service by the friendliness, knowledgeable, and graciousness of the Staff.....particularly Stephanie and Valerie!!! They can make things happen by providing recommendations and transportation arrangement. Of particular note is Diane, who has an infectious smile as she greets you in the cave for petit déjeuner...truly a legend at the hotel. For the quintessential Rive Gauche experience....The Hotel Saint-Paul is a Must!!!
