Hotel Lutetia 48.85139, 2.32691

clean, big room but very old; deinitely needs everything updated refused to extend checkout time few people available, especially late evenings

I was told by a friend to make sure we got a renovated room. After booking on Hotels.com I called the hotel to make sure the room rate we paid was for a newly renovated room. I was assured it was. It was also suggested that we look at the room assigned before luggage was sent up. Our room was on the top floor, facing towards Notre Dame - the room itself while 'newish' showed real signs of use and hardly looked recently renovated. The one feature this room did have was a great platform balcony - and in the summer I may have been tempted by that to keep the room. I asked for a change - shown a room on the 2nd floor over the looking the street - and the room was excellent. Recently redone, comfortable with plenty of closet and drawer space. Paris I've learned over the years is very quirky when it comes to hotel rooms and ratings so I keep my own list of where to stay and more important where to avoid. This hotel is on the stay list!

ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS HOTEL IS PLEASENT STAFF HOTEL QUITE OLD DISSAPOINTING AND DONT TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE MINI BAR 7 EURO PER CAN OF COKE EXSTORNINIT PRICES PARIS AS A WHOLE IS OVERPRICED BUT NICE TO SEE ONCE WAS ENOUGHFOR ME.

I have traveled to Europe 15 times in the last ten years and this is the WORST room I have ever stayed in - actually in my entire life, it is the worst room. The paint was peeling; the bathroom faucet was almost impossible to turn off (the maintenance person worked for over two hours to get it to marginally work); the carpet was so worn and filthy that I did not want to even walk on it with shoes, much less bare feet. I have never complained before, but I could not be silent on this one. We were given another room which was only marginally better - this one was a step up from zero stars to one star. No improvement in appearance but at least the faucets worked. My attempts to speak with the hotel management went for naught - he was never available. My next attempt resulted in a more recently renovated room - perhaps, at best, a three star. I have booked with hotels.com many times and have always received a room equivalent to the star rating until this time. I have stayed in at least six other hotels in Paris, all of which were wonderful and far exceeded the accommodations of this so called five star hotel. The only five star rating I could see were the exterior and the lobby! Hotels.com should request to see room 340 and 227 when they do their evaluation of hotels. They are a disgrace to even the lowest budget class hotel. Luckily, I do not spend much time in the room and would not let this ruin my vacation. I would avoid this hotel. There are so many wonderful ones to chose from in Paris.

The std. rooms are tiny, have worn carpets and mine was next to the HVAC unit for the lobby, so it was noisy all the time. The superior rooms are OK,but pricey. The hotel is in a good location though, but too expensive for what you get.

We've stayed here several times and have always loved it. This time, however, I noticed that the room, which was extremely small (and priced accordingly), needed some paint and the furniture needed to be replaced. But the exterior of the hotel is magnificent, the public spaces are beautiful, and the location in Saint Germain is perfect.

It's a great place in the tradition of nice European hotels. The staff was excellent. Our room was probably the smallest that they offer, but clean and comfy. The location is great--1/2 mile from the Louvre in a great little shopping district. I'd definitely stay there again.

hotel was great except for the arguing italians in t he next room.

The hotel has a great reputation, but we were astounded at the worn and stained carpet, cracked and stained sink and extraordinarily small room. We expected small rooms but this was extreme. The bathroom was a very nice size but in need of fixing.

Excellent price for this beautiful landmark hotel built in 1910. Has been updated with large beautiful bathrooms. Airconditioning worked well. Location is good on Left Bank. Other hotels closer to Sorbonne have smaller rooms and lack amenities like airconditioning. Short walk to restaurants, Blvd. St. Germain and Musee D'Orsay. Metro stop Babylone-Severes on corner. Hotel restaurant is very expensive, but there are many local restaurants, none of which I would call inexpensive. There are several nearby patisseries for morning croissant and coffee. I would definitely return here.

Hotel was convenient to Metro. Staff were nice. Consierge was benefit to have in the hotel. Rooms were hot at night; had to open window. Did not eat in the hotel. Rooms were good size for Europe. Daily maid service is good.

The outside of the Lutetia looks like a fabulous hotel, all of the lobbies reflect the same. If you do stay here, make sure to ask for a new remodeled room but even those, the walls are so paper thin, you can hear your neighbor practically breathe!! FOr the money we paid, not worth it and I am sure there were newer hotels we could have stayed at that were better. Location is not bad though and a lot of shopping and cafes right outside the door

Hôtel confortable qui correspond aux attentes du client. Le séjour y est agréable et le personnel courtois et à l'écoute. Points négatifs: les chambres sont bien insonorisées entre elles, mais dès que quelqu'un parle dans le couloir, on l'entend et c'est très gênant si l'on se repose. Les prix des prestations sont très élévés (27 euros par personne pour un petit déjeuner qui n'est pas compris dans le prix de la chambre, etc...)

hotel très bien placé et chambre propre chambre bruyante (même en catégorie supéreiuere) a éviter surtout au deux ième étage sur le boulevard chambre sans intérêt vu le budget WC non séparé déco "has been"...

attention ,pour un 5 etoiles la peinture du plafond de la sdb se decolle et la moquette a l entree est usagée. ceci dit le reste est impecable le site est grandiose.

somptueux buffet petit dejeuner bar magnifique mais chambre tres petite

chambre petite, je parle de la chambre superieure, bruyante, les plafonts s'ecaillent, une vielle télé posée sur un vieux frigo fesant office de bar vide,pour le meme prix j'ai déjà fait becouip mieux à paris
