Hôtel Esprit Saint Germain

Checkin was great, Timothy exceptional service at the front desk and showing us around our room. Room itself a bit small. Great 5th floor window views. Front desk staff helpful at all times. Lounge and a sitting room with fireplace outstanding and complimentary beverages, nuts and jelly beans. We were there for a weekend and it was 'the' Saturday shutdown when Paris locked down tight. So, we walked 20 minutes from the hotel to Rue Mouffetard a great street with shops, restaurants and a good mix of young and old. No problems. We ate lunch and dinner at Le Volcan lunching on fresh buckets of mussels, and later a great dinner highlighted by a delicious boeuf bourguignon. Nicolas our waiter was outstanding. Across the street Anthony Bosson bakery for croissants...we think the crispy almond are best. On Sunday a short walk from the hotel to church San Sulpice for mass was highlighted by amazing organ music before, during and after mass.

This is not a 5 star hotel. Location is good but rooms are very small and the decor in the rooms is horrible. The shower was poor. the bed was two twins pushed together and was very uncomfortable. The TV was extremely small.

On a chilly October day, the front door was opened for us swiftly with a very warm welcome. Then we were shown into a drawing room with a fire crackling in the fireplace. Our room was attractive, comfortable, immaculate. Breakfast was beautifully served, delicious. The neighborhood--St. Germain--is our favorite in Paris, and the hotel is in walking distance of favorite cafes. We will stay here whenever we're fortunate enough to be in Paris!

The rooms were not up to the 5 star standard.

This hotels doing so many things right that will make travelers continue to come back ...although the rooms are very small , there is fresh fruit delivered every day , chocolates and water at turn down ...open bar until 2am and exspectionally helpful staff
