Hôtel Belloy Saint-Germain

Lovely place to stay in Paris, easy to go round everywhere.

While my stay here was completely fine, I was slightly surprised that it's so highly rated on Hotels.com. My room was, as expected, minuscule; but it had a small balcony, a lovely view and the aircon worked extremely well (important in August!). However, it was also quite shabby - lots of chipped paintwork, chipped furniture etc, and all looking much more tired than online photos suggested. The carpet also looked extremely dusty, as if in need of a good vacuum. Service was unfailingly warm and pleasant, the mobile wifi device was brilliant, and the lobby coffee machine a godsend in the morning, so I don't want to be overly negative, but I would recommend you manage your expectations about how plush the overall experience is. It feels like an adequate, well-equipped three-star hotel, but nothing like a four-star (indeed, there are many three-star hotels in Paris that are much more up-to-date and luxurious than the four-star Belloy). It's an expensive part of the city to stay in, but this seemed a bit overpriced and overrated for what it was. Certainly not a disaster or somewhere to be avoided - just a bit tired.

Was in room 304 and the bathroom is a bit small. Sister was in 610 and it was a good sized room. Also, make sure you ask for a double bed vs two singles pushed together. Lots to do within easy walking distance. Breakfast is good.

Fabulous weekend .. staff were very friendly and helpful and check in was speedy . The free champagne nibbles and macarons and nespresso machine were great little touches that we appreciated . The breakfast was also good .. plenty to set you up for the day .our room 609 was very nice . Not huge but adequate and comfortable .. the bed a little firm but ok for 2 nights . The location was superb, 5 min walk to Notre Dame . We got RER train direct to airport and it was €10 each .. very easy ..I would most definately return if I came back to Paris .

Overall very good. Small point but wall mounted TV on wall adjacent to bed & difficult to view for long -should be on wall at end of bed. Need mirror in toilet compartment. Otherwise good room - light and realtively good size for Paris.
