"Met all expectations for a Paris hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Traveling with two little kids (5 & 1), we had the junior suite. It was very clean and spacious (paris hotels are notorious for small rooms). Staff were very accomodating, friendly and helpful. Location is great with the RER and metro right outside doorsteps. Starbucks just outside, two malls within blocks and a good shopping area while most major sites are within 30 minute walking. Reccomend.

"Good deal for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The room was a little small but had twin beds, desk, chair, closet, and luggage stand. The windows opened and there was a fan available in the room if needed. Good cafes in the neighborhood. Metro station very close. We would use this hotel again.
"Five star experience"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
This was our second stay at Hotel de Vendome and it topped the excellent experience that we enjoyed in November 2010. We were upgraded to a corner deluxe suite for an anniversary trip and welcomed with red rose petals in the room. Every detail of the hotel is first class with a very warm and friendly staff. Breakfast in the room every morning was a luxury followed by a walk in the Tuileries just a block from the hotel. If you're looking for the ultimate elegant boutique Parisian hotel, then you'll find it here. We'll be coming back to this one again. Bon voyage.

Good service and a decent area, very convinent location with a market of all food and goods! 2 mins walk from metro! Just a little far from center paris! Good service and polite reception!

It's quite an old hotel but the room was clean. A few minutes walk to the subway. Service was great. We will come back to the same hotel again.
"Unexpectedly Sumptuous"
Tucked into a side street in the 13th arrondissement next to a laundromat, grocery stores, some ATMs, and three metro stations I was so surprised when I saw the quality of the room. I was in a duplex and everything from the beds to the FANTASTIC shower to the decor made me feel as though I spent twice the money. Loved it. Hope to do it again.

"Don't be fooled by the pics - WORST HOTEL EVER!!!!"
The pictures of this hotel are very deceiving. It's the worst service I've ever received. The neighborhood that the hotel was located was far from all the major sites, and the surrounding areas are very 'shady'. The room that I got initially, was not what was reserved...it didnt even have a TV! The smell was gross...like a septic tank leaked. The smell […] was all over the hotel...hallways/rooms...EVERYWHERE! I got another room - which was like pulling teeth! But the new room was just as bad. Not kep up very well, smelly, and just not worth the money. It's rated as 4 stars...a half a star is more accurate of a rating (and thats being generous). I had to stay 1 night in that hotel, but I couldn't sleep...I was scared about what would happen to me if I did. I checked out 1st thing the next day - I had reserved the room for 3 nights. Please do not be fooled by the pics or the positive reviews...this hotel is 'hostel' material. Read more
"Surprisingly Adorable"
We weren't expecting to be placed in a two story suite, so we were especially delighted when we entered the room and discovered a spiral staircase leading to a large bedroom. Even though we had seen the virtual tour, we didn't think that our room was going to be the one we saw. The front desk staff was very helpful and remembered us after checking […] in. There were plenty of pastry stores and restaurants in the area, but we generally took a cab to a more "happening" neighborhood, although we did go to the Rue Mouftard every day at least twice on foot. Read more
"do not recommended"
poor location, not a 4 star hotel. badly renovated.
"Great for the money"
The hotel was great if you're young and want to be close to the train. The neighborhood was safe. The beds were a little too firm and the hotel cleaning staff really pressed you to leave your room early so they could clean it rather than waiting for you to leave on your own. Other than those two things, an excellent bang for your buck!
"Nice and pleasant hotel"
A lovely small hotel, nicely situated in the convenient location of the Latin quarter in Paris. It is fairy close to the main atractions - normally takes maximum of 30 min with good metro connections. The hotel itself is very pleasant, clean with lovely and friendly staff. The only disadvantage is that it is close to a school and the weekday mornings […] are very noisy - so if you are hoping for a lay in, be prepared to be waken by dousens of screaming children. Read more
"Good hotel for price"
I weas pretty pleased with the Villa Lutece. I personally liked the crazy decor. The room was comfortable and pretty small, but standard in size for European hotels. It was rather far from many of the attractions in Paris, but is was very close (1-2 minute walk) to one Metro stop and a little further (7 minutes) to a Metro stop on another line, making […] it very easy to get around. There is a laundry mat and a market close by. And the bakery nearby is great (it won best baguette in Paris a couple years ago). And I always felt safe walking around the neighborhood. Read more
"An average hotel in a great location"
Hotel was listed as four stars but to be fair I would say it should be three at best. Nice and clean but silly things let it down. Room was small, shower was broken, sink was cracked, tiles on floor were broken and they charged 18 euro as I was checking out for 'hotel tax' that wasnt included at the time of booking.
"Lush boutique surprise awaits"
I was impressed with the reviews and photos of this hotel when I booked, but I was still so pleasantly surprised when I arrive to this gorgeous boutique hotel. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and the staff is friendly and very helpful. It's close to St. Marcel metro station which made it easy to get there from Gare du Nord (orange line) where […] I arrived on Eurostar. The Latin Quarter is a cool little neighbourhood that I probably wouldn't have seen (three day trip!) if we weren't staying there. I highly recommend this hotel. Read more
"Excellent value for money"
Only negative is that is not centrally located but then again that may turn out to be a positive for some folks. Friendly English speaking staff. Near Metro and Bus. Metro station (Campo Formio) is directly linked to Gare Du Nord which is a bonus for train travelers. Walking distance to the Seine. Safe and fridge inside rooms. Cable TV with 2 English […] channels (CNN and CNBC). WiFi. Overall, strongly recommended given the big difference in price compared to other 4 star hotels. A no-brainer if you don't absolutely insist on a centrally located hotel. Read more
"Good for people who have already visited Paris and speak some french"
The hotel is located outside the center of Paris, just outside the Saint Marcel Metro (line 5). It was convientient in the respect that you were only a metro ride from anything, thus location was good. It is not very tourist orientated, so expect to speak a little french. Restaurants sorrounded the hotel but few are actually french!! Service within […] the hotel was exceptional. Read more
"Villa Lutece Port Royal in Paris"
It was not central Paris but was right next to a metro and excellent boulangerie which had delightful pastries and lovely staff. The hotel itself is everything you want if you are in to an 'in-town-out-of-town' feel. The decor was spot on and even entering the building was a spectacle in itself. I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else (unless I […] had a lot more money to spend obviously) as this was ideal for my girlfriend's birthday, a little weekend in a quaint and romantic little hotel and with hardly a walk at all to the metro. Definately would recommend. I didnt have the food, but was more than happy to pop over the road for an authentic french boulangerie breakfast. Free Wifi downstairs but a hefty charge for in your room (+ poor signal), and also a tax added to your stay at the end were my only negatives. Read more
"Small but nice"
I really liked the book oriented decor. Rita - the young lady on the desk was very, very helpful!

"Villa Lutece Port Royal is near to metro - Compo F"
The hotel is situated near to Metro but in a silent area. The rooms are very small but the toilets are very clean. The only problem we found is the internet - Paid WIFI was not working for the eitire stay . Wonder why they charged 3.8 Eur extra per room as some taxes over and above the agreed rate booked initially.
"Villa Lutece - a bizarre experience, not 4 stars"
Let's be honest about this hotel. It's not in a library area, its in an area dominated by hospitals and medical facilities. The hotel sits on a street between a medical supplier and a funeral home. The mood of the area is sombre and depressing. The lobby of the hotel is pleasant if a little over-designed and the staff exceptionally nice. The standard […] room that we had was however not 4 stars by any scale that I have ever come across. First of all you have to go back outside from the lobby and through an open courtyard to get to the majority of rooms. Into corridors that had a trendy paint job some years ago that now look garish and worn, into a badly maintained elevator with graffiti scratched into the wood trim. Down a very long and very narrow corridor into our room (318) which had about 750mm (30") all round the bed and a very narrow entrance corridor leading to it. Not enough room for two people to circulate comfortably and little room to put anything. No clock or other alarm mechanism in the room, nothing to play music, a tv with very limited TV channels and pay channels that did not work, a safe that did not work, and a minute bathroom tiled with appaling workmanship. The room was kept clean but the carpets in the corridors leading to the rooms and in the lobby are worn and dirty which is not surprising given the appaling lack of cleanliness in the streets around the hotel. One final thing, though parisien hotels are not known for comfortable bedding, the pillows at this hotel were minute and so lumpy that it was impossible to sleep comfortably on them. This hotel does not warrant a four star rating in my view and I felt ripped off before during and after our stay. The trendy lobby did not make up for the poor room in any way and the area is totally depressing. Read more

"VILLA LUTECE PARIS"
Chambre vieillote et sombre Pas de télé et "trop tard pour réparer" Bruit de machinerie fort permanent Suite 311 à éviter donc. On nous fait croire à l'arrivée qu'on a une suite pour le prix d'une chambre mais je pense qu'il y a des chambres non rénovées pour le web ! On se demande comment cet établissement peut avoir 4 étoiles !!!

tycker det va konstigt att de i efterhand skulle ha betalt för att de ringt taxi till oss. personalen kunde inte göra kaffe på morgonen.
"une horreur - hôtel à éviter"
vous arrivez devant l'entrée principal, très jolie et présentez votre réservation faite via Hotels.com. On voit envoie de suite vers un autre bâtiment très vetuste, sans éclairage. les chambres y sont petites, pas insonorisées ni chauffées en plein mois de janvier. le petit déjeuner est cher pour un café et un croissant (pas de choix, ni de buffet digne […] d'un 4 étoiles) la seule chose qui fait que vous pouvez imaginé qu'il a été un 4 étoiles est le prix qui n'a pas bougé. sincèrement évitez le!!! très mauvais rapport qualité/prix Read more

"Hôtel Villa Lutèce Paris 13e"
Hôtel qui se veut "chic" mais qui commence à vieillir. Pour un 4 étoiles la literie laisse à désirer (couverture en plastique, qui ne tient pas du tout chaud). Si l'on vient pour travailler, mieux vaut l'oublier! La table est faite pour poser une tasse de thé, pas un ordinateur et des livres ; l'éclairage c'est pour la décoration et surtout pas pour […] lire. Les prises électriques sont très insuffisantes, encore un point qui ne cadre pas avec le XVIIIe (l'ambiance recherchée)! Sinon, le personnel est serviable et le petit déjeuner assez correct (bien que cher). Read more
Cet hôtel me semble limite pour un 4 étoiles, mais il est à un prix raisonnable

Es hat ein schönes Flair wegen der bunten aber stylvollen Dekoration. Das Badezimmer war sauber, nur die Decke blätterte ein wenig von Feuchtigkeit. Das Bett war bequem. Die Lage (nach hinten) war sehr ruhig zum ausschlafen.
"Villa Lutece Port Royal i Paris"
Ok hotell, dock skulle jag inte kalla det för ett 4-stjärnigt Hotell. Läget är perfekt nära till Metron och den stora tågstationen Gare de Austerlitz. Alldeles för dyr frukost. Det ligger 3st mat butiker väldigt nära hotellet, en mitt över gatan och en runt hörnet. Lugnt kvarter och som sagt nära till Metron som tar en till alla sevärdheter på några […] minuter. Read more
"Das Hotel liegt in der Nähe des Place d'Italie"
Das Hotel war sehr angenehm. Wir konnten unser Gepäck sowohl bei der Ankunft als auch beim Auschecken in einem abgeschlossenen Raum deponieren. Das Zimmer war sauber und die Umgebung ruhig. Die Lage des Hotels war zwar ziemlich zentral, man kommt schnell zum Jardin des Plantes und ins Quartier Latin. Allerdings ist das Umsteigen auf andere Metro-Linien […] etwas umständlich: Um in den westlichen Teil von Paris zu gelangen, muss man mindestens zweimal umsteigen. Read more

En el año 2005 este hotel estaba recien remozado y pasamos en el unos días estupendos. Cerca de la estación de Austerliz y bien comunicado por metro.

"Inte ett 4-stjärnigt hotell!"
Vi tyckte inte att detta hotell höll standarden för att vara 4-stjärnigt. Kassaskåpet fungerade inte när vi anlände, och vi fick därför byta rum som vi bad om. Något som ledde till att vi gick från utsikt över gatan och kvarteret till utsikt över ett mögligt tak. Det stod att det skulle finnas badrockar på hotellet men det gjorde det inte.
"Villa Lutece Port Royal"
Hôtel propre et correcte. Wifi inexistant depuis les chambres. Signal faible même depuis la réception.
Für einen Kuztrip ist das Hotel geeignet, entspricht aber nicht dem, was wir von einem 4-Sterne Hotel erwartet haben. Gut ist die Lage zu den Nahverkehrsmitteln (Metro und Bus) sowie die Sauberkeit der Zimmer. Unsere beiden Doppelzimmer waren klein, man konnte gerade um die Betten herumgehen, wobei man immer noch dem einen Stuhl, der in jedem Zimmer […] vorhanden ist, ausweichen muss. Die Möbel waren ebenso wie die die Tapeten schon sehr abgenutzt. Die Waschbecken wiesen lange Risse auf, waren zum Glück aber dicht. Die Klimaanlage - der entscheidende Faktor, um uns für dieses Hotel zu entscheiden - funktionierte nicht richtig .Als 3-Sterne-Hotel mit entsprechendem Preis völlig in Ordnung, als 4-Sterne-Hotel erschien es uns überbewertet.

"Villa Lutece in Paris - an experience in itself"
When our family was looking for a place to stay in Paris for just a few days, our foremost criteria were a price we could accept and a location that made it easy to see some of the main sights in Paris. Villa Lutece fulfilled both these criteria, being within walking distance of amongst others Notre Dame and the lovely surrounding areas, and with an […] easy metro route to the Eiffel Tower. That being said, our reason for choosing Villa Lutece over the other alternatives was the unique interior design. It seemed much more interesting than staying at a main stream international chain hotel, and it proved to be wonderfully charming. Especially the rooms that had two small storeys, bedroom in the second-storey, bathroom and hallway in the first-storey (at no extra cost). We also had a large three or two person room with a big bathtub. The breakfast was optional and proved to be quite satisfactory. The rooms were very silent and had air-conditioning. Read more

"Passende værelse og bad men lousy morgenmad"
Hotellet har fire stjerner - og det forstrår man ikke rigtigt. Nok er værelsen ok, badeværelset er passende med både kar og brus. Der er spændende dekorationer på vægge, men morgenmaden er luset. Der bydes på én - skriver én - slags ost; og man kan ikke få et blødkogt æg. Croissanterne er små, og der mangler marmelade. Til gengæld er receptionen venlig […] og serviceminded - også med en kop kaffe klokken 23 Read more
Helt ok hotel med trevligt bemötande, rummet var kanske i minsta laget. ett minus var det den störande vägen som var hårt trafikerad nästan dygnet runt Men i det stora hela så var det ett mysigt hotel med Metron runt hörnet, o en livsmedelsaffär precis nedanför
