Résidence Des Arts - Paris

The Residence Des Arts is a nice little hotel very well located (between Notre Dame and Jardins de Luxembourg). Staff is helpful and friendly. We had a nice room (Nº 51) renewed a year ago. Tiny elevator!

Nicoli in the restaurant was awesome. We wanted to rent bikes on the public system. The system would not take my American credit card because it did not have a chip in it. Nicoli went to the bike rack with me and used his personal credit card to rent three bikes for me. The system automatically charges $150 for each bike until it was returned. Unbelievable. He is the greatest. I am so impressed. The room attendant was very helpful also.

The room they gave us was not what I expected by internet information, we had to overpay for the room with kitchinet and that was not what I saw in internet

This location is perfect; surrounded by cafes and shops, just a couple of blocks from the Seine, Notre Dame, and the Metro. It's a very lively area, but our room was surprisingly quiet. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated - though not fancy. The staff was helpful and friendly. Be aware that the "lift" is unbelievably small; barely room for two with one small bag. If you are at all claustrophobic, you should be prepared to take the stairs. Our room was on the fourth floor, so that was a bit of a chore at the end of a long day of walking. All in all... a great stay and we would definitely return!

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great location, one block off the Seine near Place St. Michel. Room was disappointing, however. We thought we were getting a studio but it amounted to one tiny room with a poorly equipped "kitchen" which was basically the size of a very small closet, about 3-4 feet wide. Two burners, a small sink, a microwave and small refrigerator. Just a couple plates, glasses, forks and spoons. No cookware, utensils, dishtowel, soap, coffeemaker or the basics you would expect. The bathroom was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the street soundproofing good. Air conditioning was a godsend. Noisy at night if you want to keep the window open.
