Le Relais Saint Jacques

We stayed in the Hotel Relais Saint Jaques on our first trip to Paris for our honeymoon. This hotel is everything you would expect of when thinking of Paris… red décor with red roses around, crystal clear floors, an adorable wine bar, and an exceptional breakfast buffet where everything was really clean. It was located on a quiet and charming Parisian street with two adorable and traditional French bistros. The windows were long with beautiful flowers hanging from each one. This hotel is minutes away from the Latin Corner filled with bistros, patisseries, perfumeries, and crêpe stands everything. Everything was so romantic like in a movie. All you needed was an acordion player to come out and start playing. Besides from a wonderful location, the service was exceptional. The rooms were spic and span, the breakfast was magnificent. It was a small buffet with very traditional French cuisine. A lady greeted us each morning to bring us our coffee and orange juice. Whenever we needed to confirm a tour or car service, someone at the front desk always got it done without any issues. This hotel is very close to the Luxembourg Gardens, which is a great place to have a picnic. If you are looking for a romantic, quaint, charming, and clean boutique hotel in Paris with a traditional Parisian experience, than this place is for you. We recommend Loree Du Parc on the street of the hotel! Everyone there was so helpful with menu items and you couldn’t get more of a Parisian culinary experience than this.

Misearable here! Internet is awful-​its not working half of the time and apparently if you use any of Apple products-​you have to relogin every 15−20mins. The «prestige» room is tiny, beds are small. Room is really old and obviously hasnt been remodeled/​updated for a while. Staff dont really care-​they listen to your complaints and do nothing. I’ve requested an upgrade, agreed to pay a higher rate-​and the woman lied saying she is all booked-​well, went on to book the bigger room online and they had one available. so she lied! Other guests complained of not having their fridge drinks refilled daily. Poor lighting in the room. The hotel provides pictures and they are completely illusional-​you think you’ll be given a nice room as seen on the picture-​nooooo!!! Some roadside motels in the US are way better. Very disappointed.
We dont mind paying a bigger price but this is just rip off. Do no trust the hotel-​submitted photos. Dont be fooled.

we had a very nice stay at this hotel and would definitely stay there again.
it is a little on the pricey side, but by going during off-​season, you can get decent pricing.
paris has a metro/​subway, and in addition, has a train system called RER. you can take the RER B line, then transfer to the metro lines
this hotel is just off the RER Line B at the LUXEMBOURG stop.
From the main airport in paris (charles de gaul), it’s very easy.
You simply take the RER B line which goes directly to LUXEMBOURG stop (about a 40 minute ride). you can buy a ticket (about 10 euros) using credit cards, but not all machines take credit cards, so recommend having some Euros before you arrive in paris.
before going, study this map of the subway and RER train lines. after a day or so, you’ll get the hang of it. if you don’t, most people will help you if you ask ‘parle vous anglais?’ first
we only had one issue, which wasn’t a big deal, but we got back from dinner at 1 am and the door man i think fell asleep so even though we rang the bell, he wasn’t opening the door for about 5 minutes.

Discrete, manqué des vitraux

Adresse accueillante
Dans le coeur du Quartier Latin c’est une excellente adresse pour les amoureux du style du 19ème siècle. Les chambres sont grandes et spacieuses et les décors sont excellents. J’aime beaucoup. Les prix sont sages, vu la prestation. C’est une adresse que je vous conseille.
