Hotel Odeon Saint-Germain

This was our first hotel in our five weeks trip in France. I had been in France before and I had a little anxiety but everyone working at the hotel were very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent and we liked the location next to the Luxembourg garden. We arrived at 11 am and check in was at three but our room was ready and they had no problem letting us check in earlier. It rained a couple of days during our time there and they had plenty of umbrellas available. The shower was great!!!

This is the quintessential French hotel in that it is in a very historic building with a lot of character. It has great location and is super quiet. You will not hear any traffic from the street. There is always someone at the desk and the rooms, while small, are comfortable. Our room was a full size bed with a seating area, good size closet and nice size bathroom. Tub shower that, like many French hotels, does not offer washcloths. Water pressure was excellent and hot water not an issue. The toilet is in a separate closet which meant a very tight fit. We just closed the outside door to the bathroom to use the toilet. No big deal. Nice big bath towels and there are two robes in the room. Plenty of outlets that have been upgraded to accommodate USB and c-type plugs. Morning breakfast is continental with some proteins like hard boiled eggs and ham. Cereals, toast, yogurt, etc round out the offering. Coffee is excellent and served with hot milk on the side. You won’t go away hungry but note there are no scrambled eggs, bacon, etc that hallmark an American breakfast.

Roomy beds (think American King size), tub in the attached bath, private and quiet room, kettle for tea and instant coffee in the room, elevator, air conditioned, centrally located to many sites, very pleasant and helpful staff, charming decor. A very comfortable stay centrally located to so many sights. We were happy with the hotel and location overall. A nice stay for a family of three.

They upgraded us to a large room...... much larger than similar hotels we stayed in past years. location is excellent for us.... The shower was the best yet in all the small hotels we stayed in during that last 40 years.......

Hotel is in a superb location, especially if it's your first visit to Paris, with the RER and the Metro mere minutes away. Hotel is also surrounded by fab restaurants, cafes & bars. The hotel staff were great and very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.
