My husband and I first stayed at the Hotel de Lys in 1970 in a lovely room on the 5th floor. When I made our reservation this time, as we are of a certain age, I asked for a room on a lower level (there is no lift). We were given Room 6, one flight up, with an ensuite bathroom.... More

A charming hotel in the middle of Paris !!! That is the opening sentence on the hotel's website. This is NOT AT ALL the case. It is an old, neglected zero-star hotel in which only the location has some value. The hotel reception is a small desk. The gentleman at that desk could not or did not want to speak... More

My husband and I were only staying in Paris for one night and were looking for a nice hotel, reasonably priced and in a good location. This hotel offered it all. The staff was wonderful. Our room was large and clean. We were on the top floor and the WIFI reception was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. More

The Hotel du Lys was a charming hotel with great location, a short walk away from Notre Dame and La Seine. Despite great hospitality the rooms were outdated in decor and slightly dirty. The manager was very friendly and was very helpful on advising what destinations to visit whilst in Paris and the sorrounding area. I suggest you visit Chateau... More

The Hotel du Lys is an excellent value in a perfect location. This is a unique property in an old building - don't stay here if you expect opulent surroundings or standard rooms. I took a first-floor double which was roomy and well-appointed. My travel companion chose a cozy single on the top floor overlooking the rooftops of Paris. Breakfast... More

I stayed on my own at the Hotel du Lys for a weekend at the end of August 2011. I chose it for the location and I was not disappointed : it is excellent. However, even if I decided to take the second most expensive type of double room, I was not happy. I paid 120 euros per night but... More

My wife and I stayed here for three nights in midsummer 2011. The hotel had been recommended by a colleague who stayed here with his family the previous summer. This was our first visit to Paris, so we wanted a centrally-located hotel that was not too expensive. Hotel du Lys was the perfect choice. It is effectively in the dead... More

A hotel with history. It may not be everyone's liking but it is decent enough. With the price that they offer, it is actually a bargain. The room maybe small, but is pretty clean. The service is OK, some of the staff cannot speak English but they are willing to help you. The most important is the location of the... More

10 Minute walk to notre dame and seine river bank. 2 minute walk to metro and bus stations. Many many cafes, restaurants, bakery, cheese and wine shops a stone-throw away. 3-4 blocks away from small supermarket. Free but very nice simple breakfast( croissant, baguette, coffee, tea and espresso). Free wifi. Bad:no elevator, single bed rooms are small. Room facing to... More

We stayed here at the end of April 2011, in a triple room for 4 nights. The Location of the Hotel could not have been any better; Saint Michel was just round the corner, which is a lovely part of Paris with bars, cafés and plenty of authentic French restaurants. Also, the Saint Germain dès Pres area or the Latin... More
