Clos Médicis

"We’ve stayed here a few times over the years and love its charm, location and reasonable price. This time we had requested a room on a high floor but were given a first floor room instead because the elevator wasn’t working. Lucky us! Our room had a private terrace (the only one in the hotel), a wood-beamed ceiling, and an amazingly comfortable bed. A very good breakfast is served in the courtyard, and the Luxembourg Garden is just around the corner. The reception is friendly, and there’s a bar in the lobby with comfortable seating. This is a 3-star hotel that compares favorably to the 4-stars in the area."

"Great hotel. Nice beds, slept wonderfully. Clean rooms with nice bathroom and clean towels every day. Varied breakfast in conservatory or quiet dining room. Very friendly staff. Elevator present and air conditioning. Deliciously quiet."

"Our first real trip to Paris, we decided on the Latin Quarter for its easy "accessibility" to all points of interest. We picked this hotel, as it looked very nice, and at $325 a night we expected it to be. Pros: good location, lovely breakfast included, friendly staff, quiet. Cons: For $325 a night, I didn't expect filthy rugs in the rooms, bathrooms that need refurbishing, extremely small rooms, front desk staff that knew how to say, "I'm sorry, I don't live here" when asked for suggestions about places to eat, transportation options, etc. Thank God for the internet! Also, there are two elevators that go to the 5th floor. Initially, they gave us a room on the 6th floor, so we were going to have to get off at 5 and lug our suitcases up another flight of stairs. I am 73, my husband is 70. This was not going to happen, so we had to wait another 30 minutes for a room to be cleaned. By now, it was 2:30pm. Understaffed, I think so."
