Hotel le Clos de Notre Dame, Paris

My mom and I loved this hotel during our 4 nigh trip Parisian getaway. The location was so central (right on the RER B train line, so a very easy trip to CDG), the hotel and its staff were very charming. My only half complaint would be that the room we had was very small.

This very compact little hotel is all you need when visiting Paris. It has the advantage of location - 2 minutes from the metro & RER stations (direct route from CDG airport), it's in the heart of the Latin Quarter and it is in a quiet little alley, so super quiet at night. The rooms are tiny and compact, but comfortable. The bathrooms have nice showers but are also very small. The breakfast room has 4 small 2-person tables, but the breakfast choices are good. The staff were amazingly helpful when I contacted them in advance to ask about gluten free breakfast options, and bought in far too many options for me.

Perfect location, a great lesson of French history, an amazing staff for a wonderful experience

Quaint location, but very small rooms. Booked a twin room for myself and a friend and the beds were pushed together. Paint was peeling off the ceiling, and tiles coming away from the base of the shower. Breakfast was pitiful. No one to help - help yourself to a Nespresso type coffee machine with no instructions. Choice of a croissant or a dry piece of baguette or toast. Very basic for the price of the hotel. We asked to have an additional room so my friend and I could have separate rooms. They said that there was one available on the 3rd floor but we couldn't check in until after 2pm, and that we would have to pay for it in full then. That was fine. But when we returned from our day out they said they didn't have a room and they were fully booked. Blatantly lied that they had told us they had a room. Shame - this place with a few tweeks could be so much better.

The hotel is very nice and in a great location. However, we were put in a room off the lobby at street level. The AC wasn't working because it was October and it was supposed to be cold by then...huh? The staff tried to be helpful, but were not overly competent, so were not as helpful as they should have been. Everyone we encountered there was nice and pleasant, but I got the feeling the place had just opened under new management and the folks were just feeling their way around. The Italian restaurant next door, L'Osteria Del Passe Partout, is outstanding.
