Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Des Arènes

A comfortable stay! Easy to get to the metro and get around the city. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Rooms are small, but good air conditioning!

Great location for 5th Arr and Latin quarter. Pantheon, notre Dahm, Luxembourg gardens and markets all walkable in 10-20 min. Some restaurants right down stairs our the door. The staff is ultra helpful. Room standard but nice. Does have ac which was a big plus as they have been having a heat wave. The only negative for us was the elevator was out and we were on the 4th floor so had to walk up and down with luggage and ourselves every time. We checked in Tuesday and checked out Thursday but no repair. They had tried to get someone and that company kept delaying coming. So it would have been really much better for us with all the walking around Paris if that were operational. Otherwise staff is ultra friendly. They have a luggage storage and staff are very helpful all the way around.

I liked the location and access to public transport. Staff was great and helpful. I didn't like breakfast

Have the old house smell. New renovation. Quite walkable, near lots of Paris attraction.

quiet and clean

We love this property. The small Roman arena is directly behind the hotel and though our room was small, being able to look out on all the activity in the arena during the day and still be able to open a window at night to enjoy a breeze and the quiet (the arena is closed from about 8 p.m.) makes this a very special place to stay in Paris. Excellent location. Good metro service and lively neighborhood. The guys at the front desk are friendly and helpful too. All in all, a great Paris experience.

It was centrally located in the Latin Quarter area. Walking distance to Notre Dame, Pantheon, and great restaurants. However, the airconditioning was not working properly.

Location and staff were excellent!

Unfortunately our first room was less than ideal as I cannot climb into a hip bath. Perhaps should have mentioned this but did not expect to find this. However the reception staff were amazing and found an alternative. All of the staff were efficient and friendly but Jacob made our stay special he was very well informed, had a sense of humour and cared that we were enjoying our visit and helping us to navigate the city

This little spot exceeded my expectations for a last minute stay.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the neighborhood wonderful, and the location walkable to Notre Dame and the Louvre. Also very close to transportation. We loved everything!!!

Good hotel for a three star establishment. Room quite small, but appears as such in photo, so expected. A bit noisy, as room overlooked main road, but typical Parisien background.

The staff are what makes this hotel special. My room had a very odd half bath tub that made it hazardous to shower in.The tub was grooved and slanted, just not made for average people- maybe a children’s tub? At any rate the neighborhood was lively, with good restaurants nearby, metro and buses were convenient as well. I think overall the facility itself was just tired. The front desk was well staffed with exceptional employees, and that says a lot in Paris

Enjoyed the location. Walkable to Notre Dame area and close to several metro stops. Weekly market nearby. Elevator and stairs available to access the rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Quiet and safe feeling street at night. The room itself was comfortable and clean, but not freshly remodeled or decorated. It is not luxury but a very good option for location and for the price.

Dropped a star in cleanliness only due to shower curtain needing cleaned/replaced. Staff in hotel were really lovely. I’d definitely recommend and return.

I have mostly stayed at hotel des arenes over the years for short stays in Paris. Conveniently located, friendly reception staff, quiet and very clean. Perfect place for short stays in Paris.

Staff are helpful and I especially appreciated having an electric kettle on in the lobby.

This is a pleasant hotel in a great area of the Latin Quarter. Rooms are plain, but clean and comfortable. The front desk staff and housekeeping were exemplary: I fell ill during my stay and they were helpful and supportive.

This is a small European hotel which is a bargain at the price. What makes it excellent is the kind and helpful staff. The location is superb. Don’t miss the Roman arena which the hotel is directly attached to. It is quiet and I slept well. The bathtub/shower is funky but not a big deal. There’s a cute cafe/restaurant next door that is inexpensive but the food and service are both good. There’s a carrefour grocery store 2 minute walk away. Small refrigerator in the room and kettle in the lobby. Very convenient to metro stations. I would definitely stay here again. It’s not luxurious but the staff make it special.

Basic room, clean and in a great location. Exactly as described really. Staff were pleasant. Nice touch in the kettle in reception and the fridge in your room for drinks etc.
