The Hotel des Mines is a wonderful place to stay in Paris. The rooms are very comfortable, and the little shower rooms are fine. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The hotel is also close to the delightful Luxembourg Gardens.
Our only regret is that the hotel doesn't have a kitchen. We enjoyed the breakfasts, but did walk down the boulevard a couple of times to have a hot breakfast. I would happily stay at the Hotel des Mines again!
