This was our first trip to Paris and we were happy with our hotel choice. It is within easy walking distance of the Pont Neuf boats, Notre Dame, the Luxembourg Gardens, and museums -- D'Orsay, Cluny, Louvre. The immediate neighborhood consists of narrow streets with a charming mix of sidewalk cafés, a flower shop, boulangeries, wine sellers, a small supermarket... more

This hotel fit the bill, the room was small but not unexpected in Europe, nice and clean. wine glasses & corkscrew a plus as my plastic one was broken! The bathroom was clean and modern the bed was comfortable restaurants sooo close... more

In the heart of the favored center of the St. Germain des Pres neighborhood, haunt of Victor Hugo and Ernest Hemingway (and many others), this hotel is exactly what I would expect out of a Paris hotel. Charming, cozy, touches of traditional elegance in the form of paisley floral wallpaper and exposed wooden beams in the cieling. Staff was friendly... more

I stayed at the Grand Hotel de l'Univers in late May, 2009. I booked through the Best Western web site. When looking for a hotel in Paris I wanted to be in the St Germaine area, close to a metro, in a clean, small, charming hotel. I found it! I took the RER from Charles de Gaulle airport, transfered and... more

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Univers for four nights with my girlfriend. The location was great with easy access to most areas of Paris. It is only a 3 min walk from the metro. Bedrooms are very confortable and extremely clean. There is internet access in the rooms if you bring a lap top and one computer near the... more

This hotel is off rue de Buci so its location is excellent. We opted for a dlx. dbl. because Annie at reception offered us a low 150 euro vs. 230 e. rate. The room isn't worth full rate: If you use the hairdryer (theirs) while the lights & TV are on at the same time it'll short the power, there... more

We just stayed 3 nights in this beautiful property. The location is excellent in the middle of the latin quarter. We had an amazing executive room facing the street. The room was the biggest we had in this area. The decoration was excellent and everything was very clean.Staff was very polite and helpful. Breakfast was also very good with delicious... more

Absolutely ghastly. Grubby bathroom, and my legs were covered in insect bites from the bedclothes. Terribly noisy - can hear every noise from other rooms and the lift. Unpleasant smell in breakfast room. Not to be recommended at all. more

It was my second time at this hotel and I loved it even more. There's nothing special about the service you receive, but the rate was excellent, the rooms are well maintained, very clean, and very 'French'. Moreover the hotel is in a terrific location - right in the heart of St Germain Du Pres, just off Rue St Germain... more
