WS St Germain - Quartier Latin

This place was perfect for our needs! We were well within walking distance to Notre Dame and other sites on the right bank. Metro and buses were easily accessible.

This is an unmanned apartment hostel, not an aprtement hotel. Check in was horrible and complicated. Hotel had no signs so was difficult to find. Then requiring internet access on your phone and 4(!) different codes for different doors. These were not sent on hotels.com messages but in separate email that since it came from a company went straight to spam. Entrance in what in the evening is an unlit creepy courtyard, very easy for a robbery if they walk in the main door after you. Felt unsafe. Then new door and no elevator, had to haul suitcases up two long stairways. Then two more doors with different codes. Room spacious but noisy (you can hear everything from street and neighbours) and hostel standard. No security lock on door, added to unsafety. Check out 11, but no place to store luggage. Customer service suggested we downloaded a third party app that then directed us to a low price store a block down where we were to store suitcases in the staff hallway of the grocery store with no security regarding theft from luggage and with all of the employees of the store having full access. Horrible experience. Travelled with family. Should be a lot more information of this on hotels.com as we would never had booked would we have known. Might be ok for group of 20 something friends on interrail i.e if not concerned for safety.

Only thing great about this apartment was its location. Majority of the big tourist spots within 15 mins. Its not an apartment, its a tiny room which has had a tiny bathroom cut off it. 4 codes to get into your room! The

The room was so small and noisy because it's on the busy road. Also, they had no AC and you need to remember 4 code to be able to enter in the room...1 for the main entrance, one for the stairs, another one for the hall and finally one code for the room. But th location was excellent.

Negative: 1. Our door wouldn’t lock! The maintenance guy fight No elevator (which is relevant because I was with my elderly parents)
