This hotel deserves it's ranking as one of Paris' best hotels. For service it must rival the "grand hotels" and in a great location too. We stayed 6 nights recently - a family of 4 from Australia with two teenage children. We could not have felt more welcome. With two teenagers the hotel thoughtfully gave us two rooms across from... more

I stayed in this hotel for one night only but it I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff is really friendly and helpful and the service is great. The room was very pretty, loved the classy decorations and the beds were fantastic! The location is very close to two metro stations. The area is nice also, close to Montparnasse and... more

My partner and I stayed here for three nights in April 2008 after we read all the positive feedback on Trip Advisor. We had a wonderful stay - the hotel is well positioned very near Vavin Metro station which is on the purple number 4 line directly from Gare Du Nord which is useful for those arriving in Paris by... more

Lovely, friendly, helpful staff made my 3 day stay very welcoming! Located in the Montparnasse area right besides Vavin Metro Station. The hotel upgraded us to a Superior room upon arrival!! The room, although small (but hey this is Paris) was very clean, cosy and functional. Definitely recommend to anyone!! more

My husband and I have just returned from a three night stay at the Hotel des Academies et des Arts where we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We had visited Paris once before and stayed in the 1er arrondissement and, although we enjoyed our first stay, this time we wanted to find a more authentic Parisien neighbourhood to experience a... more

Hotel des Academies et des arts, 15 rue de la Grande Chaumiere. We stayed here for 4 nights in March ’08 and had a very enjoyable time. It does not surprise me that the hotel is 4th in the Tripadvisor popularity index. First – Location. This lovely hotel is a 10 minute walk from Port Royal Metro and RER station.... more

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! My husband and I spent a week at this absolutely wonderful hotel and will most definitely be back. It was our second honeymoon and finding this perfect hotel made the trip one to remember... I chose to reserve here after many, many hours of research on the internet on Paris hotels. I kept reading review after review for... more

Yes the hotel is tiny but when you arrive you feel like you've got a real 'find'. Down a little side road from the busy Bvd Montparnasse - you're spoiled with restaurants/bars nearby plus within easy walking distance of most places in Paris. (Well, we walked everywhere - not saying everyone should!) The way the place has been decorated is... more
