B W GRAND HOTEL DE L'UNIVERS SAINT-GERMAIN DES PRES

We stayed here for one night on our return to Paris (from La Baule) having spent an earlier week in a different hotel. Our room was quite pleasant, a reasonable size, had a large marble tiled bathroom, clean and comfortable. The hotel was ideally situated in the heart of the popular St Germain area of Paris, a couple of minutes walk from Odeon metro (which is on the line which serves Gard Du Nord and Monparnasse railway stations). Lots of restaurants on the street of the Hotel as well as in the surrounding area. A continental breakfast was served under the tastefully up-lit stone arches of the hotel's cellar.

This used to be a reasonably-priced Left Bank hotel until it got hooked up with Best Western. It is pretty much as it always was, except that the price of a room has risen sky-high. It's fine, just massively over-priced. It would be helpful if the person who calls your taxi explains that this hotel is a very small, one-way street so you don't get chewed off by the taxi driver, as I did. Tinny pop music in the lobby is something I can do without. Yes, I would stay here again but only if my usual restaurant, just across the Blvd. Saint-Germain but just over half the price for exactly the same accomodation, can't take me.

Great Location in the Latin Quarter, Friendly staff and a nice room. Just a little on the pricey side with the current exchange rate!

Brilliant Hotel!!!
