Hotel Villa Des Princes

( 2 stars , Paris , France )

+ The location is great - just in the middle of everything! The rooms are not oversized but they are tidy and the bathroom very functional. - The staff is more busy with watching tv on the computer than helping hotel guests:-(

Rooms very clean. Not spacious but this is Paris. Good location. Relatively quiet at night as off side street but did hear some singing at 3am. Would definately recommend to friends.

After searching for somewhere pictured in the photograph I found the unassuming sidestreet doorway to the Hotel Des Ecoles. The porter was not at all helpful and allowed me to struggle into the coffin sized lift with my baggage. I paid upfront for the stay and wished I hadn't when I arrived in the room.... I'd specifically reserved a "chambre superior" and was expecting something at least as good as the room pictured. What I found instead was a cramped double room, with just enough room to move around the sides of the bed, which by the way was two singles pushed together. The "view" was of an interior space between the neighbouring buildings and the less said about that the better. The bathroom wasn't bad, lacking a bidet and once again a very cramped space. The Bath was a decent size, however, this was looking like it hadn't been cleaned in several weeks. Inside the room there was also a 12" TV, I didn't bother with it. I also didn't bother with any room service or food in the hotel, I wasn't entirely sure if any were available mind you... Overall not a vastly unpleasant experience, but definitely not up to the expectations I'd had based on reading this page. I would have been happy to stay in this room at a more sensible rate, but having dished out €150 per night I expected something better. I wouldn't stay here again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I liked. (Or anyone I didn't like for that matter.)

+ The wonderful location. The staff were very helpful. The room was very clean.

Very nice stay. The room was nice, clean and fairly spacious. The location was very good, walking distance to St. Germain. The elevator was the strangest I've ever seen, oddly shaped, and large enough for only one person. This was really only an issue when the maid was using it during her cleaning. Other than that - very nice stay!

+ great location, friendly staff - it's a bit small but comfortable

Excellent positions, good price. Smart accomodation.

+ The wonderful location. The staff were very helpful. The room was very clean. - I could not check in until 3 PM.

This is the worst hotel i have stayed in. From room installation with the wiring laying on the floor to the room noise isolation...A terrible experience that i don't recommend to any one.

In summer, when you like to open the windows at nights, the noise is sometimes very loud even if you have a room not overlooking the street. Apart from that I can recommend this hotel to everyone
