Best Western Premier- Hôtel Royal Saint Michel

The young girl at the front was fantastic! Helped with directions and made a dinner reservation for me. Wi-​Fi is free and reflects the price: very slow and doesn’t work consistently. Requested a shuttle to the airport. The guy asked where I was going, and I told him Italy. My companion was going to the states as well as other passengers. They were at terminal 2E. He unloaded their bags and mine as well. I said I was going to Italy, as stated previously and he said no, I told him 2E. He would not take me to 2 °F, the correct one.
I will downgrade my review. After calling the hotel to advise them of the event, the response was,“And what do you want do you want me to do about it.” I said,“Don’t do anything. Enjoy your day.”

Struggled on whether to give 2 or 3 stars. Landed on 3 for the benefit of location AND price. Although my gut wanted to give 2. Just sayin’.
It’s a great location, but do not stay here for amenities, service with a smile or lavish accommodations. We booked this hotel because we got a great price and its in a great location. This was perfect for my family because we planed on exploring the city all day anyway. We really just used the hotel as a crash pad. It is nice, clean and in a great location to all the marquee Paris attractions, but go into your stay with low expectations for anything extra.
WiFi is hauntingly slow — like it takes 5 min for an article to load and drops about every 15 – 30 minutes. It’s frustrating if your trying to stay on top of work a bit at night or trying to catch up on news (which you won’t get English news on TV bc it’s all in French or German except for BBC). Sometimes the WiFi got so bad I just switched to international data (not what I want to do). Apparently they have 1 router that the whole hotel shares. Again, it’s not a major issue, but disappointing for a chain, in a major city, not to invest in some 21^st century technology.
Also, be prepared for a coffin of a room. It’s about 7 by 12 ft and you have to be strategic with where you put the furniture so you don’t stub a toe. Again, it’s suitable if you’re using as a crash pad, but don’t stay inside longer than you have to or the walls will begin to close in on you. The small room then leads me to the room temp. I stayed in early June — hot days and mild nights. The AC barely blows out, so not only was I cramped, I was hot and stuffy. Open the windows you might say! I tried that, but I backed up the the block’s various eatery kitchens. When I burst the windows open I experienced a deluge of steamy kitchen smells and quickly shut the window. The solution: my AC was set to 10c (an environmental disgrace) and I hoped for the best. It finally cooled off a bit, but like the room size, just don’t stay in the room if you don’t have too — especially if your hot.
Finally, the service. Very stuffy, not particularly helpful or warm. Again, go in with low expectations.
This place was fine for what we needed — a cheap, clean crash pad. If you need more, go to the Holiday Inn Notre Dame (ore something similar in the ‘hood) and for a few bucks more you get a bit more.

The main advantage of this hotel is its very central location, just few meters of Saint Michel fountain, with acceptable prices and nice staff. The rest is nothing to write home about. Good, but nothing fancy.
The rooms are relatively small, like everywhere else in Paris, but clean and nicely arranged. So are bathrooms. So really basic stuff for price between 100 – 200 Euro a night, depending on a season. Hotel has tiny room for breakfast served from 7 – 11, but pretty decent. Fresh bread, cheese, ham, eggs, bowl of fruits and coffee make your morning go smooth.
It has ver tiny elevator, good to bring the bags upstairs by one fit person. I was always lucky to have rooms facing the St Michel Boulevard, but one must like constant noise. If you are more about quiet, I would rather look for a place by one of the smaller streets (maybe avoiding Latin District, as there small does not equal quiet).
But it was very convenient to stop there, close to St Michel RER C station, taking you directly to the airport, As changing subways with luggage in Paris is not my favorite exercise, this counts as great advantage.

Das Etablissement hieß früher «Grand Hotel d‘Harcourdt» und hatte alles andere als vier Sterne… dafür war es aber seinerzeit recht preiswert.
Die Lage dieses Hotels ist natürlich für den Stadtbesucher einmalig zentral. Metro quasi vor der Tür (ca. 120m) und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten in Spaziergang-​Nähe (Notre Dame, Quartier Latin buchstäblich um die Ecke mit ganz viel Bistros und Kneipen aller Art, das Panthéon etc.).
Wer sich nach einem anstrengendem Paris-​Tag nach Ruhe sehnt, sollte allerdings hier abends nicht bei offenem Fenster versuchen zu schlafen. Der Verkehr auf dem «Boule-​Mich» tobt pausenlos, der gegenüberliegende Club «Le Lutece» sorgt mit seiner Musik (oft live) schon dafür, dass nicht nur Straßenlärm abends in die Fenster «klingt». Früher gab es zu allem Überfluss direkt neben diesem Club auch noch einen Plattenladen («Paris Musique»), der sorgte schon morgens mit seinen auf die Bürgersteige gestellten mannshohen Boxen dafür, dass eine Musikbeschallung nicht abreißt in den Zeiten, wo der benachbarte Club noch nicht geöffnet hatte.
Man konnte ohne Übertreibung feststellen: Paris lebt. Aber wie. Man ist mittendrin.
Zum Hotel: Das Frühstück war nicht so toll, französisch-​spartanisch. Jedes in Laufweite gelegene Straßencafé bot bessere Croissants nebst Zubehör, so dass wir uns das Hotelfrühstück oft geschenkt haben — mag es heute besser sein, ich weiß es nicht.
Schlauerweise hatte ich unser Auto in die Parkgarage unter Notre Dame gestellt (in fußnähe) und eine Woche lang nicht angerührt. Der Consierge dort unten hatte nach Empfang eines ordentlichen Trinkgeldes auch immer ein wachsames Auge drauf… Parken «draußen» ist absolut unmöglich und in Paris geht alles am allerbesten mit der Metro, die sowieso überall hin kommt.
Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß bei einer Sylvesterfeier in einem, wie es sich erst später herausstellte, etwas «schummrigen» Lokal/​Restaurant (allerdings mit einem Supermenu und Champagner open end!) auf dem Blvd. St. Germain, und es war eine Bombenstimmung, so als einziges deutsches Pärchen unter lauter «Ureinwohnern». Eine Nacht lang lebte jedenfalls eine intensiv deutsch-​französische Freundschaft…
Das Hotel scheint nach seiner Renovierung jedenfalls einen sehr ordentlichen Eindruck zu machen, jedoch halte ich die vier Sterne, die es so stolz repräsentiert, als vielleicht doch «selbst verliehen»? — Keine Ahnung.

Located within blocks of Notre Dame, the Hôtel Royal Saint-​Michel offers your basic amenities and level of comfort. It’s clean and «relatively» affordable for the area (179 €). The rooms are tiny so there’s no reason to stay inside anymore than it takes you to rest up. Like many hotels of its generation, there’s a spiral staircase around a tiny one-​person elevator. The elevator itself is pretty slow so opt for the aerobic workout if at all possible. A complimentary continental breakfast is included and fairly decent (you’re paying enough as it is).
