Hotel des Grandes Ecoles Quartier Latin

Lovely little hotel in Paris city centre, within walking distance of some of the main attractions, metro stations and restaurants & cafes. Having read in the news about bed bugs, I was quite worried, but our room and bed were so impeccable, any concerns were put to rest as soon as we arrived. Our Classic Double room was on the top floor and had a skylight window, which was nice. Towels clean and in good condition, and the staff were lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The gardens were wonderful even in mid-November, quiet and safe behind two large metal gates. The only complaint I would have is regarding the lift, it seemed like whenever someone was calling the lift (which happened very frequently from about 7-8am), a lot of noise could be heard in the room, troubling for a light sleeper like me (my partner doesn’t have this issue and so he didn’t hear it). Our room was right next to the lift, which was just unfortunate for me personally. I have really enjoyed my stay, and I will be recommending this lovely hotel to others.

This is a wonderful hotel, with beautiful gardens in a peaceful courtyard and a sweet breakfast room. The staff is so nice and go out of their way to address any wishes or concerns you have. Our rooms were spotless and sweet, with views of gardens next door. Like most less expensive Paris hotels, there aren’t extensive amenities in the rooms, and no televisions (thank god!) but ours had hair dryers, modern showers and an electric kettle with packets of tea and instant coffee. The very lovely women who run the kitchen in the morning were so nice — they let me get coffee early in the morning and take it to my room, and when I got a cold one day insisted that I take honey and lemon with me to add to the tea. Really a wonderful experience, I’d go back here any time.

A private square with a garden. You can take breakfast in the garden away from the noise of the city. A little oasis. A short walk to lots of restaurants or to the métro. Great find

Not a water bottle bottle , not a fridge , not a coffee maker , not a safe , not a tv , just a haggard old room .

Quiet location on quiet street, yet just a two minute walk to Place de la Contrescarpe and Rue Mouffetard. Wonderful staff. An oasis in the Fifth Arrondissement.

This beautiful garden hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is very friendly, helpful and gave good advice on local restaurants. Coming back from a day of sightseeing, one enjoys a quiet garden to sit in and unwind, with a glass of wine or fruit infused water. Very good breakfast offered.

Nested in historic vibrant neighborhood, this is one of the most beautiful charming hotels in quiet garden setting. The staff is warm and responsive. Renovations in this historic hotel are exceptional.

Very nice courtyard.

The receptionists were very easy to talk to and had a mind of great hospitality (seems like they like working there, no wonder): The receptionists kept our luggages two hours before out check-in and four hours after our check-out. They let us rest in their garden even after the check-out and made sure we were comfortable. Without a question, the room we stayed in (in fact all rooms) was very cosy and cute with aesthetic even in detailed parts of the room. The shower/bath was great. One thing, the elevator too ages to arrive to each floor, but it didn’t really matter that much. The cat there was very adorable, and the flowers planted in the corridor/garden were mind-blowingly beautiful.

La gentilezza dello staff, il concept dell' hotel in stile bohemien e la posizione della struttura davvero ottimi. Peccato per le pareti delle camere davvero sottili e non insonorizzate e qualche mancanza nello housekiping della stanza da parte del personale di pulizia.

The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and efficient. The room was excellent, comfortable and spotless. Breakfast was also high quality and abundant.

Lovely clean quiet hotel in a great location. Wonderful helpful staff. Super cute room with a divine bed.

Really lovely hotel! It was quiet, clean and the air conditioning worked great. The staff were very polite and friendly as well.

Bad shower, thin scratchy towels.

I really do my research when booking and amongst other reasons based my stay on the reviews, however it was not what I expected and nothing the hotel could have done. I did actually move hotels for my second night as I needed more modern, more fresh, more luxury. I’ve stayed in 3* many times and one thing I missed was that they didn’t have a tv. Whilst usually that would not be an issue - but it was France vs England World Cup and I could stream couldn’t go out as was with my daughter :( The bathroom was dated, some will say shabby chic but it was rustic to say the least. The l’occtaine toiletries was a nice touch. The towels were tiny and not at all soft or fluffy- just need throwing away. The carpets down to the dining room were stained and it all just felt dirty. The dining room was awkward at best- tiny tables, no room to manoeuvre - lots of people waiting but the breakfast was nice. Nothing the hotel could have done- it is what it is if you like that sort of rustic experience, I will check the amenities more closely next time. The hotel kindly called to ask why I left but as I said to them- it just wasn’t what I expected. It’s in a fabulous area, it’s quiet ( although our room was by the aircon in the hallway and there was a loud sneezer in the next room- but it didn’t disturb us too much.

Loved our stay here! The hotel is really pretty and the courtyard is a lovely place to relax. Staff are really friendly. Room was lovely and clean and comfortable beds. Good location to lots of cafes and bars also.

Charming hotel. Convenient, very polite staff, clean and comfortable.

Excellent location. Beautiful hotel with amazing gardens. We stayed inroom 1 which is not a great room for noise. Courtyard tables right outside our window where guest would come home and sit late in the evening and sit and talk. Also you could hear the noise from the lift in the room. Reception and breakfast also straight across our room.

Great location and charming courtyard garden. My room was small but perfect with two huge windows overlooking the garden

This is a very cute little hotel in a perfect spot in the 5th arr. We were in a quiet but lively neighborhood with great restaurants. It was a very manageable walk to the main tourist attractions. Room was a touch small and tight, but it’s Paris and we spent very little time in the room anyway. I’d definitely recommend this hotel given the location.

Stay here…just do it. If you are looking for a small hotel that is quintessentially french in feel, in a brilliant location in the Latin quarter this is an amazing choice. 5 minutes to the train station that gets you easily around Paris, steps from the life of the quarter yet once you walk into the gated gardens to enter the hotel you are transported into an oasis of peaceful bliss. The hotel is old (of course) but that adds to its charm, you are in Paris after all! The staff are absolutely the best, friendly, helpful and most of all kind. If you look for all the amenities and you are a fussy traveller maybe not for you, but if you want to stay in a cozy room that screams Paris with all its charm this is your place. Have breakfast at least once, it’s small but sweet..then check out the LQ and you will find so many choices for food, crazy great location. BTW the train gets you right down the street to and from the airport, one quick transfer, very very easy to use and we are not subway / train users at home, Can’t recommend enough…stay here!

The room #1 was just too small with such a large bed. It should only be a single. I have stayed there many times and never was put in this tiny room. With 2 people it was not suitable.

Great location- walkable to so many places. The room was big and the beds were very comfortable.

Hotel super agradável, em bairro badalado de Paris. Apesar do nosso quarto ter ficado no segundo andar, e não dispor de elevador, o funcionário nos ajudou a carregar as malas. Quarto família bem decorado e limpo. Muito agradável. Recomendo.

The courtyard was my favorite part of the hotel. The room and bathrooms were very simple. No counterspace, no tv. There was a desk and a nice window looking down at the courtyard. It was pleasant having breakfast and tea outside.

Hemingway fans will delight in the location of this hotel across the street from his first Paris apartment. Enter the cobblestone courtyard through a green gate, but don't let the cat out! My room was quiet, clean and comfortable. There's is no TV but there are books near the breakfast room and an antique bookstore across the street. Lots of museums, dining, shopping and nightlife nearby. The dining room and hotel staff were oustanding. Would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were very warm and welcoming. The room was small but charming and had china cups and a kettle for making tea or coffee. We were served breakfast promptly and with a smile. The building and grounds are delightful. Staff are on duty 24/7.

Wonderful property … the front desk though rotates all the time, and some of the staff are aloof and rather not help , if they can. Others are wonderful though.

We absolutely love this property! The staff is amazing and remembered us (even the room we stayed in) from the year before. We love that there are plenty of places to eat near by, and that Île de la Cité is an easy walk away! We plan to continue to stay here every time we are in Paris!

I booked this hotel for a family holiday. We were delighted to be right in the heart of the Latin Quarter amidst all the best restaurants, bars & shops. The nearest metro station is just a few minutes away and we were able to get around the city very easily. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and helped us to book restaurants/ hammams & the like during our visit. The breakfasts at the hotel were delicious, with locally baked breads, pastries, yoghurts & jams. Their hot chocolate is sensational! It was a fantastic trip and we will definitely be staying here again next time we visit Paris.

Quiet, clean, comfortable and friendly staff. Got to the hotel early and left luggage while we explored Paris. Hotel staff had our luggage put in our room before we returned.

Wonderful staff! They quickly responded to my email inquiry about their location and how to get there from Disneyland. We arrived early and they graciously allowed us to leave our bags and even took them to the room for us. What a treat especially after a long day of sightseeing. The view from the room was amazing! Thank you for a great stay😘

We’ve stayed here before and enjoyed the property and location. It is quiet and the gardens are very pretty. I thought check-in took way too long and the front desk wasn’t warm and welcoming when we had questions. Breakfast was disorganized. I didn’t feel special here.

The staff were so nice! Friendly, efficient, and even gave me a slice of cake for my birthday! It may not look like much from the street, but it’s a treasure behind the green doors! The place is lovely, and is in a great location of the Latin Quarter. Very close to a Metro stop. Lots of good eats in walking distance. We felt totally safe as two female travelers.

Put do not disturb sign and they knocked anyway. They also took our towels out of the room before we checked out.

Professional staff, very safe, central and walkable. Recommend.

(English below Japanese) パリの街中にある、隠れ家のような素敵なホテルでした。 ▼良かった点 ・パリ5区、カルチエ・ラタンにあり、歩くだけで楽しいエリア。（「エミリー、パリへ行く」のアパートやパン屋も近い） ・メトロ10号線 カルディナル・ルモワヌ駅から徒歩3分。坂道だが短いので問題なし。 ・シャルル・ド・ゴール空港やパリ北駅からは、RER B線リュクサンブール駅下車が便利です。（地下駅だがエレベーターあり、徒歩15分） ・ホテルの敷地に入ると綺麗な中庭。（扉を開ける際はインターホン使用） ・かわいい猫のスタッフがお出迎え！ ・フロントスタッフもとても親切。私たちの拙い英語でも問題なかったです。 ・ガーデンビュータイプのスーペリアルーム（日本で言えば3F）は日本製のエアコンを完備。 ・部屋にTVがないことで、非日常感がありとても良かった。 ・朝食はシンプルでも€9かかるが、中庭で食べられて雰囲気＆満足度◎ ▼留意点 ・フロントでの宿泊税などの支払いではAMEX利用不可。VISAは使えました。 ・パジャマなどはないため持参が必要。 ・ハンガーは大きなクローゼット内の固定式。外に吊るす場合は私物の持参を。 --- A charming hidden-gem hotel in the heart of Paris! [What I especially liked:] - Great location in the Latin Quarter (5e). Fun area to explore on foot. "Emily in Paris" filming spots nearby. - 3-minute walk from Cardinal Lemoine Station (Metro Line 10). It's a short uphill walk but not an issue. - Easy access from CDG Airport or Gare du Nord Station via RER B Line to Luxembourg Station. (15-min walk. There is an elevator at Luxembourg Station) - Lovely courtyard behind the hotel gate (intercom access). - Friendly cat and helpful staff. (Our limited English was no problem. Thanks a lot!) - Garden-view superior room has a Japanese air conditioner. - No TV in the room, which added to the relaxing. - Breakfast costs €9, simple but satisfying. [Things to keep in mind:] - AMEX cannot be used to pay city taxes etc. at the reception. VISA worked fine. - No pajamas provided. - Hangers are fixed inside the large closet.

Excellent area, lots of food and drinking places. Crepes galore everywhere and very good price too. Metro is a 3 min walk down the road. Breadfast, there is a choice and brought to you on a tray. Very nice.

Quiet location on quiet street, yet just a two minute walk to Place de la Contrescarpe and Rue Mouffetard. Wonderful staff. An oasis in the Fifth Arrondissement.

A lovely hotel which feels like a country property, but tucked away in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Great transport links and very good dining options nearby. Staff were SO friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault the hotel or the staff. 5 stars!

This is a charming hotel, a little off the beaten path, which makes it perfect. Walking distance to most everything e.g. Notre Dame, museums, and left bank. This is our second time staying there we absolutely love this place.

We loved the location. Very quiet, comfortable room but with easy access to dining options and one block from the Metro.

Fantastiskt mysigt litet hotell ett stenkast från Place de la Contrescarpe i Latinkvarteren. Rummet var litet, men det finns en innergård med bord och stolar som man får använda. 100 meter till närmsta metrostation och ca 1 km till Luxembourg-stationen där man kan ta tåget till Charles de Gaulle-flygplatsen. Trevlig personal och det var bra att man kunde lämna kvar väskan efter utcheckning då vårt flyg hem gick sent på kvällen.

Beautifully tuck away and hidden. Clean and quiet. Friendly helpful staff. Delicious breakfast.

Very welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was lovely and breakfast was very good.

This beautiful garden hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is very friendly, helpful and gave good advice on local restaurants. Coming back from a day of sightseeing, one enjoys a quiet garden to sit in and unwind, with a glass of wine or fruit infused water. Very good breakfast offered.

A gem of a hotel with outstanding service. From the front desk to the the lady who served us breakfast service and friendliness was 10 out of 10. Location was a dream. Perfect for a romantic getaway or, like us, a family trip.
