Select Hotel - Rive Gauche – Paříž

Location! Location! Location! Minutes walk to so many wonderful things (e.g.,2 blocks to Luxembourg Gardens, 10 minutes to Notre Dame, and easy access to De Gaulle. This our second time at this hotel. The rooms are small but you get used to them. The breakfasts are OK, but make it easy to start your day. It's kitty corner from the Sorbonne. If you are […] walkers (the metro is also very close) this is a wonderful place to stay. Další informace

Great service and location for a very acceptable price.

Loved the location, the view from our windows, the wanderings to be enjoyed in the areas around. Paris at it's best! Thank you Select Hotel. I would select you again at the drop of a hat!

Great hotel with a friendly staff. Rooms are a bit small though and you could hear the neighbour taking a shower in the morning. But the location was great- only a few minutes walk to the Seine River and about 10 min from the Notre dame. Also the hotel is located away from the street so there was no trafic noise!

The hotel was in a great location. The problem we found with it was the room was very small. We also were there when they were doing construction so our window view outside was of plastic and construction stuff. Also the elevator only was big enough for 2 people. We had to make several trips with our luggage. You have to be a normal sized person to […] stay there. It worked okay for us. For some it would not. The staff was okay. Next time we would stay at another place. Somewhere with more room. Další informace

All was ok. Can recommend the place. Only downside, there was no shower curtain so bath get a bit flooded. Else good quality place.

The Select Hotel in the Place de la Sorbonne Paris is very clean and comfortable. It is wonderfully quiet and we slept well. The loo is only good for people in a double room who know each other well as it doesn't offer all that much privacy but the rooms themselves are very nice and the lighting is excellent for people who like to read. I would really […] recommend it and would go there again. It is in a great area with plenty of restaurants, bars and bookshops. Další informace

nice small hotel close to many tourist destinations. The breakfast was good. The only minus is the elevator was small.

This hotel is in a fabulous location beside the Sorbonne and within walking distance of most must see sights. We weren't too happy with the first room we were given which was at the top and at the back of the hotel. We asked if we could be moved and the reception staff were more than helpful in obliging us and we were moved to a room on the first floor […] overlooking the square. The standard of the hotel is very high, the buffet breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. All in all a great hotel with happy, friendly staff and we would us it again and highly recommend it.

This hotel has everything going for it, from its location right at the Sorbonne on a quiet place, to echoes of its past blended with tasteful modernity, to fine management. But currently (December 2011) it is undergoing renovation (for a couple of more months?) with lots of daytime noise, so check before you decide.

good hotel in a nice location

This was my first time to Paris and the location of the hotel was fantastic! It was very close to the Metro (specifically the Nortre Dame). The hotel was very clean, the staff was very proficient at English. The continental breakfast was good and the room was very comfortable for the three of us. The only complaint that I have is that we really could/ve […] used a shower curtain.... I usually like to stand while taking a shower rather than sitting or kneeling to prevent water from going everywhere. Další informace

This is a quaint little hotel, the rooms are quite small, but adequate for a sightseing trip with little down time in the room. Bathrooms were very modern and clean. Breakfast was included and was better than what you could get at an average cafe. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great for walking to the subway, very claose […] to NotreDam and the River. Very quiet, despite being near tons of shops, restraunts asnd bars. The elevator was sketchy, so if stairs are a problem, you might want to pass. Only complaint - after arriving at noon were asked to come back at 2:00 - no problem. But when we checked in a 2:00, they sent us to 2 or 3 rooms which we'rent ready, untill we finally found one that was. After that, the stay was great. Loved the old beams in the ceiling in our room. Had a great old European feel. Další informace

Great location.... but a really small room, bathroom, and the elevator is definitely for one person (two if no luggage).... it's so small its almost scary. Everything was clean, well taken care of and there are great cafes right next door to the hotel.

Very satisfly overall except the bathroom tub in our room has no shower curtain, so everytime we take a shower, water splashes all over. The drain also was not able to open and close in the shower. But it is a nice hotel to stay in if you are visiting Paris, great location, not too far from the Metro, decent breakfast included.

Room was small, but clean and modern. Staff was friendly, and spoke good English. The neighborhood was cool and convenient. Unfortunately the room was often warmer than we would have liked, the AC was centrally controlled, and never clicked on the whole time we where there. Additionally the shower didn't work, so we had to use a hand held shower, which […] is fine by European standards, but just wasn't the same. Finally the hotel was being renovated, so we had a view of scaffolding out of our window, but since the window just opened up to the other side of the hotel, we weren't missing much. All in all, I'd probably try a different hotel next time I go, since I wasn't blown away. Still it could have been a lot worse. Další informace

Excellent location for a city break in Paris. Lovely modern hotel. Friendly staff and very good service. All sites easily accessible. Lovely restaurants and bars nearby. Would definately stay there again.

Really good location - perfect for the train to the airport - have to change lines a few times to get to some of the must see sights though. Really comfy beds & good breakfast & friendly & helpful staff who speak English. Highly recommend this hotel.

great location room was a bit cramped but well maintained comfortable bed and pillows very nice breakfast. Would probably upgrade to a slightly bigger room.

The Select Rive Gauche is ideally situated in a lovely square in a quiet and nice area of Paris. Its about 500m to the main Metro station Place de Sorbonne and RER which goes direct to CDG airport.It is about 800 to 1000m to The Seine and Notre Dame, the walk down passes high quality shops, street cafe's, and restaurants until you come to a warren of […] lovely little cobbled streets full of bars, restaurants and shops (this area becomes lively and vibrant on a night). The hotel was clean and new as was our room 78. The bedroom was smallish but had a shower / toilet room also which too was clean and new. This was our second visit to Paris. I would definately stay at this hotel again as it and the location as it made a perfect stay. Další informace

Location is fantastic--the main building of the Sorbonne is outside the front door, less than five minutes walk to the Cluny, Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens. In the heart of the Latin Quarter with bookstores everywhere (too bad i don't read french). 7 minute walk to the Seine and 10 to Notre Dame. Friendly staff, beautiful reception and common spaces. […] As other reviews have said, the rooms are small (but not as cave-like as the online pictures showed.) We had the cheapest room and the two of us never felt cramped. The window opened (european style with shutters) out to a gardened atrium, very nice. Bed was very very comfortable. Only little complaint is that there were no towel racks or hooks and it was hard to find a place to hang towels in the small space. We would stay again. Další informace

The location was incredible, you're right next to Luxemburg gardens, the Pantheon, and the University, Notre Dame ..... and the Latin Quarter, food, places to shop and visit. Can't find better place. The room was so elegant, my wife said I got a 10!!!!!

Ideal hotel for the 4 days we spent in Paris. The room,whilst not massive, was fine for that space of time, good facilities. Hotel staff very friendly. Fact breakfast was included in the hotel price made it an even better deal (eating out in Paris is pretty expensive). Good location, most things walkable but good access to RER and metro if don't have […] the time to walk everywhere (or its raining). Easy to get to from Gare de Nord. Další informace

My Booking was not done Properly. This Hotel made me pay for extra room for my daughter though I had requested accomodation for 1 room with triple.

Great location, friendly staff, a bit to hectic breakfast area and major problems with mold in the bathrooms

the hotel lobby is beautiful... the rooms are renovated as well, but in a very chain hotel fashion. When I stay at a boutique hotel, I'm looking for something different and the lobby pictures give you that idea, its not. Also, the hallways are disgusting... they look like a dingy motel with nasty old carpeting. My other issue is the walls are paper […] thin. You can hear EVERYTHING! Další informace

Really great location literally right next door to Sorbonne with cafes right outside. Close to gardens, notre dame etc. Hotel is recently renovated and in really good shape. Small rooms as expected in Paris. Breakfast is also typically French, bread and not much more.

If you're looking for a hotel with large, plush rooms - stop reading. This is not the hotel for you. But if you're looking for a nice, clean, stylish hotel in an excellent central location of Paris, read on. This hotel appeals as a luxury flat of yesteryear, but in a stylish and cozy fashion. It supports a feeling of being connected with the vacation […] experience, and not just observing from a disengaged perspective. In other words, Select Hotel was part of my Paris experience that helped me connect and enjoy the entire vacation. Další informace

just steps away from the metro, the latin quarter, notre dam, walk to the louvre, musee d'orsay, musee rodin, very close to hop-on-hop-off stops, 3 cafes in the square, everything one could possible want. except our room had no shower (only a hand held that was impossible to not flood the bathroom when using), no door on the bath, plus the toilet was […] on the opposite side of the room and had no sink, had to cross room to bath to wash your hands, would've moved us but hotel was booked, we managed. and fell in love with paris, would do it all over again. plus we left a large amount of cash in the safe in the room which was turned in to the front desk and sent to us back in the states...just lovely!!!

Nice location, quiet, very friendly staff. No shower in my room But comfortable bed

Excellent location. Near to all the sights and great cafes and restaturants right on the doorstep. The room was small but that seems to be the case if you want to stay right in the city. The lift was also tiny - my son's wheelchair just about fitted in. But we would certainly go back to the hotel.

Clean, neat, friendly efficient hotel in a great neighborhood. Rooms are a little small (Duh! -it's Paris) but well laid out and completely usable. Only real problem is that they are changing their name and the taxi drivers can't find them without the actual address. Loved our stay and would definitely go there in the future.

We loved the location and surrounding neighborhood. Very close to Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, the Louvre, the Pantheon and public transportation. Good restaurants closeby. Room is quite small so it made it tough to move around in it with just 2 people. Most of the time we were out sightseeing so it didn't matter too much. It has a distinctive breakfast […] area which was very enjoyable. Další informace

Fantastic location. Very helpful reception staff. The breakfast room was exceptionaly stuffy, with only 2 tables able to enjoy the cooler area. The room at the front was noisy with windows open and stuffy with windows shut. The suite facing the courtyard was quieter but unfortunately cooking smells came in from the kitchen below. Considering the rates, […] a little disapointing. Další informace

We only stayed a few nights, but it seems like a good place for an extended stay. The surrounding neighborhood wasn't that great to walk through at night, but it's not the worst either. There is no wifi in the rooms, you have to go to the lobby for it. There is a wired connection in the room. Having a laundry facility on the floor was really nice. There's […] only a couple machines, so we had to wait a bit, but it was nice to be able to wash clothes without paying the expensive fee most hotels charge when they do it for you. Další informace

We stayed on 28-30th April 2011. It’s a really great spot by the Sorbonne University, near St Michel in the Latin Quarter. Restaurants, bars and brilliant transport links are within a few minutes’ walk. The communal areas of the hotel are clean, modern and chic. The entrance of the street is an excellent selling point. The staff were very helpful and […] pleasant. Only downside was the rooms and breakfast. And for me, it ruined the experience. We booked a superior room, we were given Room 18. It felt more like a basic double; it can't have been more than 12sqm. Rooms were clean and relatively modern but it had really limited space to put bags or to hang up clothes. The half sized bath, with a 3ft shower and no shower curtain made it impossible to wash in, the shower function would only work if the lever was constantly held down. The rooms are very stuffy at night, the aircon works well, but the exceptionally heavy duvet made things nigh on impossible, it was actually hurting my legs under the weight. I'm not sure if it was a seasonal thing but when its 18-20 degrees during the day its clearly wrong to have a heavy crash mat as a duvet! Breakfast was incredibly basic and limited (1 yoghurt option, 4 cereals, and a few other bread pastries available), and that combined with a poor layout in the cellar meant having to queue for about 5-10minutes as things were so squashed and having to wait for tables to free up or be cleaned. I have to be fair and impartial. Maybe we just had a bad room, or the others are of a similar standard, but the cost versus the stay doesn't add up. Sadly based upon that I wouldn't recommend the stay. I can't fault the staff as they were very friendly. Další informace

The room was small. Since I was traveling alone, the room was more than acceptable. The hotel staff were helpful. The buffet OK.
