Grand Hôtel de L'Univers Saint-Germain

Stayed there for three nights with my wife on our short visit to Paris. Excellent location right in the centre of Paris, restaurants everywhere and all attractions with walking distance. If not up for walking, there is a taxi area close by as well as a metro station. The hotel itself is quaint and full of old world charm, it’s an old building that has mostly been preserved and with the expected creaks and quirks. All the standard amenities are there, our room was small but cozy. The staff were friendly and helpful and you’ll find the hotel manager to be very charming and attentive. Our thanks go to Jessica who cheerfully and patiently answered every question we threw at her and was very helpful indeed. We highly recommend this hotel if you are planning a romantic whirlwind tour of Paris.

Fantastic location with very friendly owner-manager. Step out the door onto lively rue de Buci with fun cafes, lots of fooderies, the market and charming galleries + shops. Easy to walk to the Seine access the rest of Paris. Although the hotel is small, it is great value especially if you are in and out and enjoy all that the Saint Germain area offers. Good wifi, no issues with the room. Easy to get to via RER train and metro from the airport. All around one of my favourites small, below the radar hotels.

The hotel couldn't be at a better location, in the heart of St Germain de Pres and surrounded by stores, lots of restaurants and everything you need for a comfortable staying in Paris. The hotel is from the 1800s and is beautifully kept, the rooms are decorated like in those years with furniture resembling that bygone era. Beautiful, clean bathrooms with all toiletries that invite you to take a long shower. You step in the hotel and could easily think you are back in time. Breakfast takes place in the basement of the hotel used to be a cellar, a great place to begin the day with a full breakfast surrounded by its historic walls. The staff also is great and helped us get a cab on our last day.

Loved the decor, very clean and comfortable, right near lots of restaurants, had complimentary tea and coffee, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Location fairly good from tourist attractions. Would stay again. It was better than we thought as we thought the room would be small but was spacious, compared to a London one we stayed in. We didn’t use the elevator much as it was small, but mainly used it for our bags upon arriving and departure, which was good for that instead of steps. We caught mainly taxis and Ubers - Ubers found it harder to find the accomodation than taxis, as it’s in a side street.

The room was small but considering the building dates from the 15th century the character far outweighs the need for a larger room. The bathroom was quite big with a full size bath. Each room has it's own decor and reflects typical French designs. No generic chain hotel here!! I had a lovely table and chair by the large windows that opened onto the street below. The location was superb. Just outside the door you are immersed in cafes, restaurants, patisseries and all things food related. Several Metro stations are nearby for easy access to all the sights of Paris I had the most wonderful week staying here and enjoyed every minute.
