What guests think

At Hotel La Lanterne & Spa By Timhotel, travellers highlight a central Latin Quarter location near Notre Dame, consistently warm and helpful staff, very clean spaces, and a compact but appealing spa with pool and steam room.

Rooms are often small by Paris standards, though several premium or top-floor options feel larger, with balconies and notably generous bathrooms; a few guests reported street or garden-area noise depending on room location. Facilities please most guests, yet there are reports of occasional elevator outages and a modest gym or underheated sauna/steam. Breakfast is widely liked, though some found limited hot items or a crowded area. Expect a stylish, well-located boutique stay with strong service.

We spent 5 nights in a top level premium room and it was a fantastic stay. Room was spacious by Paris standards, quiet, had 2 balconies and good pod coffee machine. The bistro next door is great for traditional French and is good value for money and super convenient after long days walking. We didn’t have the hotel breakfasts because we were too excited to get to Maison Isabelle bakery near Maubert metro station entrance, it is delicious. We loved the spa and gym but the steam room was a bit underwhelming. Room was kept really clean and we would definitely return.

Absolutely amazing hotel. All the staff spoke English, which made life so much easier. It smells divine and we actually bought several of their scents to bring home. The hamam and gym (steam room and thermal pool) were clean, updated, and made for a perfect end to each cold and rainy day. The location could not be better. You are within walking distance to Notre Dame, tons of cafes and museums. I cannot recommend this boutique hotel enough. Book it!

We loved out stay at this hotel. The location was by far the biggest plus point for this hotel. Everywhere was easy reach. We got breakfast included but this could be improved. Boiled eggs ran out when we were down later in the service. The eggs on offer scrambled were not good. Pool was on the small side also but the kids loved a splash after a day of walking. The steam room was also a nice touch. Room was good and spacious but Points to improve family room should really have another toilet and space to hang things. The staff were incredibly nice. They arranged some teddies for the kids bdays and a few complimentary soft drinks which was appreciated. All in all great visit to Paris! Would come again!

This is an excellent property in a great area. Our room was on the top floor. The room itself was amazing. Spacious with a balcony and nice view. The I my negative thing about our stay was that the elevator was broken the entire 9 days we were there. We walked up and down the stairs several times a day. When asked about some kind of a compensation we kept being told “we will ask the manager” and nothing. Overall however, our stay was great and we would certainly come back, as long as the elevator is fixed.

The elevator broke on the day we stayed, so it was difficult to get to our room. However, the staff were very kind. Breakfast was also very delicious. It's a very convenient location for sightseeing, and there are many souvenir shops, so I recommend it.

Our shower leaked and our towel warmer did not work. We could have told them and I’m sure they would’ve moved us or fixed it but that would have been inconvenient for our stay. We were in town for a wedding and seemed like we were always riding the subway or catching an Uber because everything was out of walking distance from us. Hotel had all the basics but nothing special.

I stayed in a 'Garden Access' room during this trip, which features a fully accessible path suitable for individuals with disabilities—definitely a positive aspect. However, I noticed that the booking details indicated a room size of 16-22 m². The allocation between the bedroom and bathroom seemed quite unbalanced, approximately 30% to 70%, which was a bit surprising. Additionally, it’s important to note that 'garden access' refers to ground floor rooms. Just a heads-up for anyone considering this option.

We LOVED this quaint hotel! Stayed here for two nights with another couple, and we booked the two top floor units with the terraces. Well worth it! Large windows opened up onto very Parisian terraces (we had two terraces for just our one room!), plus the rooms had high vaulted ceilings and a gorgeous bathroom with a large shower. Largest and nicest rooms I’ve stayed in in Europe at this price point. Hotel was within 5 min walking distance to the Notre Dame and a metro station, which we didn’t use much, as we ended up walking everywhere instead. Would certainly book these rooms again on our next stay.

Was told our room would be ready at 3:00 PM. It was close to 4:00 PM. The only explanation by reception was that the housekeeper couldn’t be located & our room wasn’t ready. Made no effort to solve the issue except to offer coffee. After a very long night & day of travel & sightseeing not having a room ready on time left a bad impression on us.

Could not fault this 4 Star hotel in super central location just 10 mins stroll from the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Also really close to several major Metro/tube stations so easy to get anywhere for just €2.50 per journey. And just 40 mins (walk & metro) from Gard De Nord (if coming on Eurostar) The staff could not be more accommodating or more helpful and went out of their way to help me recover my iPhone when I left it in the back of our taxi upon arrival….. Admittedly the bedrooms weren’t the biggest but very generous bathroom with walk in shower and more than adequate for our 3 night stay in July 2025 and everything super clean throughout. WiFi is exceptional and the bedroom TV all set up for you to easily sign into your Netflix (just don’t forget to sign back out!) Well worth paying the supplement for the extremely comprehensive breakfast which is served 07:30-10:00am with (once again!) fab staff who could not do enough for us. There’s also quite a nice 4 square metre pool and very nice steam room and if you want a beauty salon as well (though we didn’t use the latter) Will 100% return next time my wife & I visit Paris and hopefully I’ll remember to pre book Le Louvre next time!…..

We spent four nights at Hotel La Lanterne & Spa and it was great. The location is great. The hotel is very comfortable and staff extremely pleasant and helpful. When you travel to Europe, you expect small hotel rooms, but I will say La Lanterne has done an amazing job of making small feel roomy and comfortable. Our room was wonderful, bed very comfortable, and overall we had a great stay. We will definitely stay here again when back in Paris.

God beliggenhed og i gåafstand til alle seværdigheder. Havde et værelse vendt mod gaden, hvor der desværre var en del støj fra baren ved siden af og fra sanitetsarbejdere i de tidlige morgentimer. Havde valgt ‘comfort room’, der var lille, men fungerede fint. Men sover du let, så vælg et værelse mod gården, hvor jeg tænker, der er stille. Barista kaffe og brødet hittede til morgenmad - det resterende udvalg var gennemsnitlig og blæste os ikke omkuld. Rigtig god service i receptionen og fra den unge mand i restauranten. Dejligt touch med den lille spa og “fitness” i kælderen.

Cannot fault the hotel, it was exactly as described/ as per the photos. Great location, very close to Maubert -Mutualite metro station and within walking distance of plenty of nice restaurants and bars/ cafes along the river bank near Notre Dame. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. The room was modern but with some character, cosy but comfortable, with a separate desk area and separate WC & shower room. All clean and modern facilities. We enjoyed a dip in the small heated pool after a days sightseeing, the steam room was beautifully done but not really hot enough on the occasion we visited. Breakfast was good, and served until 10.30, (plus only €5 extra to order breakfast in bed!) and checkout was not until 12.00 and they happily stored our cases for the day for free. I would definitely recommend and would happily stay again if I return for another weekend in Paris,
