Hôtel Saint-Charles

Room was very small, difficult to open 2 large suitcases together. Hotel is close to Orly airport. It's a little far from the city Centre but can be reached there in public transport. The street is pretty lively. Hotel doesn't have too many veg options.

This is an excellent hotel, especially if you want to be in the 13th arrondissement near the Gobelins, Musee des Plantes, the lovely community fresh water swimming pool and Place Italie. The 13th arrondissement is the hip place to stay, very young vibe on the Left Bank. My husband and I stayed in a single room on the fourth floor that had a great mattress. My husband is 71 yrs, with a quirky back, 6ft 5, 275 lbs and always had a great night sleep. Plus he was thrilled with the elevator and the superb breakfast. The staff was lovely and all the conveniences (toiletries, hair dryer, etc) were included. I am returning to France in May to pick up medications (much cheaper that in the US) and to visit the Canal du Midi and the Riviera. We'll be in Paris for a couple days, and Hotel St. Charles is our "to stay" place.

This hotel is very homely staffed with nice people. Must paris icons only 12$ by taxi away. Typical French restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are a bit small but are clean with adequate bathrooms. Did enjoy stay and would be happy to return.

If evilness and rudeness was a hotel this is it. Worst experience in my life. First of all we booked three rooms but at arrival the hotel staff says we have four rooms, took at least 20 minutes to solve this and instead of giving us one bigger or connecting rooms as it was described in the booking we get four small rooms. Secondly by unknown reason one of our cards for payment didn’t work so we decided to pay half in cash and half by another card. When I offered during daytime to pay with the card the staff says we can do it later. Upon coming back after the day our rooms are blocked and the new staff says it’s blocked because we didn’t pay (?!I even offered to pay during day time), of course I paid immediately but as this whole situation is unacceptable we wanted to talk to the manger who next day lies to me and tells me that rooms get blocked by itself from time to time. In the room one lamp wasn’t working. Third thing is the breakfast buffet, not much to offer and a very rude person working here and checking how much one and each is eating. Feel extremely uncomfortable, to that point that I didn’t even want to ask for more coffee. He even asked my once why I’m taking too many croissant. Later when I asked manager why he asked me he says because people take food along with them. Of course we all know that, but to openly suspect your guest is the worst or worst. Would never ever recommend this hotel to anyone, and as the cliche at it may sound not even to my worst enemy!

Lovely simple hotel but in great neighbourhood! The hotel room was very small as was our bathroom but it was clean and bed super comfortable! Friendly staff. Loads great restaurants and bars nearby. A fair distance from most attractions but well worth it as quite peaceful at night.

This hotel isn't great, but more than adequate. The location was a little more out of the way than we had hoped for, but after a day or two we adjusted quite well and the metro is close by and can get you anywhere you'd like to get to. The best part of our stay, was the front desk staff, Asberjian (sorry if I misspelled your name), and Rashid. This guys were great! Always helpful, always knowledgeable and always delightful. We would stay there again just to see them again! All in all, a very pleasant stay. Great Staff!
