What guests think

Across many recent reviews, Grand Hôtel de L'Univers Saint-Germain is praised for its superb Saint‑Germain location with easy access to cafés, metro, and major sights, plus consistently friendly staff and charming, classically Parisian rooms.

Rooms are generally small but comfortable and characterful, with soundproof windows that keep lively street noise out. Cleanliness is mostly rated well, though several guests noted worn carpets, minor bathroom maintenance problems, or lapses in housekeeping. Breakfast is often considered good value and served in a charming vaulted cellar; some mention shower over bath setups and limited storage as inconveniences. Expect a cozy, historic stay in a prime, walkable area.

Lovely small hotel in great, lively Left Bank neighborhood. Walking was 10/10. Although on an active side street, my room facing the street was very quiet with the window closed. Breakfast was a great value. Would stay again.

The hotel has an enjoyable elegance. The room was small, but delightful. The breakfast is affordable, and the « cave » setting feels historic. Location is great, right between the Seine and the Luxembourg Gardens. The staff was VERY inviting.

Loved the location on a small street right off a beautiful area, breakfast area was lovely with nice coffee and monstrous croissants. Our room was comfy and AC was GREAT. Small elevator but they had one and it worked. Friendly helpful front desk staff and breakfast team. Lots of electric plugs, nice towels. We got there 12 and our room happened to be ready. That was just good luck.

Very cute older property with modern updates throughout for a classic old world / new world feel. Rooms are incredibly decorated with custom themes and wallpaper and luxe bathrooms even in their smaller sizes, and the basement feels like breakfast is being served in a medieval cave. Incredible location in the heart of everything.

The hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of the buzzing Latin Quarter within a short walk of metro and various bus routes giving easy access to all major tourist attractions. Staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel is old and has lots of charm. As is common in Paris, our room was on the small side but it was adequate. Despite being on a lively street we had no difficulty sleeping and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was adequate. Breakfast was served in a pleasant vaulted basement room. There was a decent choice of cold and cooked food. The Gavroche and La Citrouelle are really nice bistros on either side of the hotel. Many other eateries in the vicinity. It was expensive, but not for Paris

Great location. Nice staff and a deep tub! My wife was in heaven. We didn’t try the breakfast, as there was a bakery a half block away with croissants to die for. Room was typical for older Paris properties. Very cosy, tiny elevator, we enjoy all of it.

Welcoming central hotel. Easy distance from the Seine and Notre Dame. Metro close by. Lots of varied restaurants a few steps away. Cosy reception and bar area. Rooms small but adequate since we were out most of the time. Bathroom basic and poor shower. Would recommend as a good base.

Hotel location was great. This is an amazing little neighborhood filled with shops and restaurants etc. The hotel for that matter is relatively well kept and with the right expectations you'll have a great stay. My room was tiny. About 2x the size of a queen sized bed. Once we added a baby cot and our suitcases there was literally no room to move at all. Take the stairs at your own risk... Circular staircase from the time of king Louis xiv felt like I might slip and die each time I went up/down

Love this hotel. I read alot of reviews of this place online and I figured it was a perfect place for me. I love small little places like this because it makes you feel at home. The room was quite comfortable and the French designs gave it such character. The staff is so great and super helpful with anything you need. There is a lift(elevator) and cute winding staircase. I love the little breakfast area in the basement it has this cellular meets cave look and the breakfast was good.

I’m not sure what all the hype was about. This is an extremely old and fairly decrepit teeny hotel. The lobby furniture was filthy, our bathroom left a lot to be desired with hair in the shower and on the shower walls. The breakfast was convenient, nothing to write home about at $12 per person but the breakfast staff was lovely. The location was great unless you want it quiet- if you have trouble sleeping, definitely bring ear plugs

The rooms are tiny and the bed is a full and not a queen. It may be too small for two people. The photographs are deceiving - the lobby is a bit shabby. The carpets in the rooms are stained and feel gross and dirty.

The location was great, and the hotel is very nice. Overall we had a good experience. One small complaint about comfort and service: one expects a hotel room in Paris center to be small and crowded, but this room was also rather lacking in terms of storage space, so we had to keep our belongings in our suitcases. Unfortunately, there was only one luggage rack in the room, so we asked for a second one. The disappointing answer was: "we do not have any spare racks..." I am sure we are not the first to ask for this, given the shortage of closets, and the hotel should have prepared some extra racks.

Room was small, but we kinda knew that going in. The toilet room, which is separate from the bathroom, was incredibly tight. And then the bath tub had a weird *very loud* gurgling and water backing up into it which actually woke me up in the night and I’m a deeeep sleeper so that was off. All that said, we like our stay there, it was a fair price to be in such a great neighborhood. And the staff was friendly and helpful. I’d consider it again.

We loved our stay! Stepping out the front door into all that the Paris Latin Quarter and St Germaine have to offer was one of the best things, but this charming hotel has more to offer than just location. Our executive double room was quite spacious for Paris standards. We loved opening the large windows and taking in the outside life just below us. Close the windows and curtains and the noise and lights of Paris were gone. My wife loved the large tub for bathing and the separate shower was wonderful. For me, sitting in the yellow window-side chair with the window open was a highlight. We did not take the breakfast and the in-room coffee was not good...but there are amazing places just outside for coffee and pastries. The front desk attendants were so friendly, always welcoming every time we walked in and out, and they were very helpful with our questions or with suggestions. We would stay here again for sure!

Location: The location is very good. This location and Navigo semaine take you to most of the famous places in Paris by bus. Staff: It was my first solo trip to Paris and felt a little bit nerveous. Then, staffs taught me the area I could enjoy alone. And next, they taught me where and how to buy Navigo semaine. At the last of reception, they told me "Nerveous is no problem, travel is adventure". The wine bar and bistro they recommended to me were very very nice.

Frukosten var värt pengarna och hade ett bra utbud, perfekt en regnig morgon när man inte orkade ge sig ut. Hotellets läge är perfekt för att kunna ta sig runt i centrala delar av staden och tunnelbanan ligger nära om man vill bege sig en bit bort.
