Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was warm, handsome, and even elegant, overlooking the garden from our cozy 2nd-floor room. It was very comfortable and cozy. The service was a little stressed due to the crowd at 10 pm but very helpful with luggage storage. The location was perfectly situated for exploring with walking distance to many attractions, away from the touristy areas. Dining offered limited options but presented elegantly. The absence of common spaces and amenities was a drawback.
The Hotel des Grandes Ecoles is a bit far from the tourist attractions but features very quiet rooms facing the lovely garden, ideal for relaxation. The rooms are in need of renovation, which can be a downside. The service is a mix of being welcoming and helpful at times but lacking customer-centricity in others. The location, near the Pantheon and surrounded by restaurants, is excellent for tourists. The dining experience offers simple yet amazing dishes but could have more variety. Overall, the hotel provides a quiet retreat in a convenient location, with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel is strategically located close to points of interest and transportation, providing a quiet stay while being within walking distance of key attractions. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but slightly small for three people, with a bit of noise being noticeable during busy periods. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff going above and beyond to ensure a warm and welcoming experience, including a lovely birthday treat. The location was excellent, surrounded by a variety of dining options and within easy reach of sightseeing spots. The dining experience, while good, could be improved for the value it offers.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were very clean and, being in downtown Paris, surprisingly spacious. Our room overlooked a beautiful courtyard, ensuring a peaceful stay. The cozy bed and having a tub added to the comfort. The service was extremely friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of dining options and easy access to transportation. Dining outdoors in the courtyard was a lovely experience, with delicious food to savor.
My stay at Hotel des Grandes Ecoles was a mixed bag. Despite the cleanliness and fairly spacious rooms for downtown Paris, the lack of facilities and noise from neighboring rooms were definite drawbacks. The service, on the other hand, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, catering to return guests and those recommended by others. The central location in the lively Latin Quarter made exploring the city a breeze, although some noise from the vibrant surroundings could be heard. The dining options, though limited, were decent, especially when enjoyed in the tranquil courtyard garden. Overall, a stay here has its ups and downs but can be enjoyable with the right expectations.
The hotel is located in the heart of the Latin Quarter of Paris, offering an excellent base for exploring the city. The rooms, while cozy with typical Parisian charm, could use some updating, but the large comfortable beds ensure a good night's sleep. The staff, though not fluent in English, are welcoming and helpful. Dining in the secluded courtyard garden was delightful, providing a delicious start to the day with a variety of breakfast options. Overall, a well-priced hotel with some room for improvement in room maintenance and noise insulation.
My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were clean, spacious, and full of character, adding to the cozy atmosphere. However, some rooms were small and uninviting. The service was excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff who kept guests informed about any possible issues. The location was great, offering easy access to a Metro stop and a communal courtyard. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with fresh baguettes and croissants. The facilities were well-maintained and contributed to a pleasant stay.
