Hôtel Des Arènes

Perfect quiet location but walking distance to the centre. Also lots of nice restaurants and bars locally. Some reviews mentioned small rooms but they were good size for us, it is Paris so don't expect huge rooms in these sort of hotels. We had a great stay, would definitely come back.

6 étages et l'ascenseur en panne constante... Clim controlée centralement , ce qui pose problème, ménage de la chambre pas fait si vous vous levez tard. Finalement vue superbe sur les arènes romaines de Paris, mais on y projetait des films en plein air le soir, donc ne pensez pas dormir avant minuit. Personnel aimable et avenant.

This hotel is in a great area in the 5th arrondissement and Latin Quarter. Within walking distance of many popular attractions. It had a great shower, decent AC, and the nicest people working the front desk. Behind the hotel is an ancient Roman arena ruin, which held a loud concert during the summer solstice while we were there. That’s not the hotel’s fault but do be aware. The beds are comfy. My only issue was that we could not find any electrical outlets anywhere except the bathroom and behind the TV. There is a pharmacy nearby, many fun cafes, two great boulangeries (we loved Maison Gaumer) and a metro stop.

We are grateful for the air conditioning during the heat wave in Paris. Thanks to booking with Expedia, I assume the proprietor put us in their least desirable room in the attic, under the zinc roof during a record breaking heatwave. After our check in, we were cheerfully told that the elevator was out of order. So we have to climb 7 flights of stairs- every time we want to leave the room. I know the management are not responsible for the weather, but I will be avoiding this hotel in the future.

The staff at Hotel des Arenes were so welcoming, friendly and helpful in providing directions and suggestions on places to eat and visit. They went above and beyond! Also, the room was perfectly clean and comfortable, had a refrigerator and was extremely quiet and had a/c for sleeping. We loved the location of this hotel on Rue Monge as it is so close the Place Monge with the market several days/week to buy fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, etc. and there are many wonderful restaurants just down the block by the Cardinal Lemoine metro and also great patisseries/boulangeries to go for petit dejeuner. There is also a Carrefour conveniently located just diagonally across the street for other items you may want. We will happily return to this hotel on our next trip to Paris!

The staffs were awesome/friendly/helpful; plus they were there 24/7.

The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The rooms were small and pretty worn.

It is a small hotel with small rooms and quite unremarkable room furnitures and bed covers for a city known for beauty and quality. The room and hallways are clean and the staff are very helpful, but during our 5 nights stay, their elevator was only available for one day.

All was Ok

Nice stay.

Great location. Helpful staff.

Them room was a typically compact Paris room with a comfortable bed and shower. The view from our window was a 2000 year old Roman Colosseum that is now a lively park. Convenient neighborhood close to Metro.

Great location, friendly helpful staff.

Tiny (it’s Paris though obviously!) room but clean . Nice shower. No free amenities/ drinks etc though . Nice staff .

Tom was small but clean, efficient

Breakfast is good, variety of choices. The area around the hotel is very clean, room very clean including bathroom, you have to bring your own toothpaste otherwise everyday clean towels, daily housekeeping, there’s enough cabinets to place your clothes. The only issue we encountered was AC was off on our second day of stay due to fire alarm but no fire. We didn’t need AC anyway room was cool enough. Most importantly the front desk staff did an excellent customer service no complaints with special mention to Jacob and Vincent. They attend right away to our needs including the room cleaners They’re all very pleasant, helpful and nice people. My husband and my 29y/o son stayed in this hotel for 5 days. Hotel very close to train stations, convenient store, lots of eating places, walking distance to Notre dame. This hotel is recommendable. Worth your money. Can go back again when in Paris

Excellent location next to Roman Arena. Nice staff. Very small room and tiny bathroom. Good street facing view. Good dinner café 2 doors down.

Yes

We booked on expedia and paid all the cost, the front desk staff still asked 5.53EUR additional fee and was not happy when we double check with him for what we already paid. Not suggest to stay here.

Quiet and well located friendly hotel. Great service
