Elegancia - accommodation in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

The location is perfect for tourism and the view from our Seine River view room, which costs extra, was spectacular. Metro is just a 5 minute walk. The front desk staff is great! Very nice folks. But you do have to clean your own room, including bringing down your towels and trash to the lobby and get new room supplies. We were not prepared for that, but OK, we can do it. The room was odd shaped and definitely was not as nice as the one pictured in Hotels.com. But it had a desk area, kitchenette and a foyer, though that served little purpose beyond giving you room to get in the door with your luggage without being cramped into the bed. Breakfast is extra. A/C cools the room, but only if you make it run all the time and turn it down all the way. But we did enjoy our time there with no regrets. We wouldn't spend this much again if we return to Paris.

The bedroom and bathroom were decent size. The bathroom had been redone and had a tub. If you leaned out the window, you could see the Eiffel Tower.. It was closer to the Latin quarter than St. Germain. Location was good five minute walk to Luxembourg Garden 10 minute walk to Notre Dame. The only downside was the carpet was dirty, and the entry to the hotel was dirty dark and didn’t shape otherwise it was great for the price.

The location for this hotel is amazing. Close to everything we needed. The rooms were nice and clean, however very small. The bathroom was super tight and the shower small. Guessing that is what you get in an older hotel. The staff was super helpful and the breakfast was decent.
