I spent nine nights at the Hotel Sophie Germain, in room 101. I would recommend it and would stay there again myself. The room was well sized, with two single beds pushed together to make a queen; a small desk w/TV above and mini fridge below; two side tables; and a comfortable chair. The bathroom was practically palatial by European... More

I spent a night so miserable that it convinced me to open an account in Tripadvisor to share my experience. Shame that I'm starting with a negative one: I booked 3 nights and ended staying one. To cut a long story short it was a room with a broken heater, on a cold night, and a toilet flush that only... More

We had the room n°105. The hotel is well located: 50 meters from the subway and less than 10 min from the RER. The street (one way street) is very calm. The welcome was very warm and we had the opportunity to let our luggages in the room even the "official" check-in is not supposed to be before 15h00.... The... More

We have been staying at Hotel Sophie Germain since 2004. We chose it for the neighborhood, proximity to metro/bus/RER, and its fair prices. We love returning here because of the wonderful kind staff, comfortable and clean rooms, and ongoing efforts to enhance the hotel and amenities. We have seen the reception and room renovations, addition of flat-screen tv and a... More

Last week I stayed in this hotel during a business trip in Paris. It's a nice hotel if you don't like the large big names hotels. The room and bath room are quite small. Especially having a shower was an challenge for an two meters person. On the other hand the bed is very good and the room is cleaned... More

Not very good in many other aspects. No air conditioning and floor level rooms are right on the street. Broken fridge which the management knew about but made no atteempt to repair it. $12euro breakast is not good value compared to other hotels.

If the receptionist in a hotel is welcoming we are inclined to overlook other drawbacks to an extent. Sophie Germain rooms are small, and, yes, there is a smell of mildew in the bathroom, but one generally doesn't spend much time in your room unless to sleep and the bed was very comfortable. The location is good with metro and... More

In Paris you pay as much for the location as for the hotel. This is really a two-star hotel, but with a three-to-four star location and neighborhood. I have stayed in 3-star Paris hotels a few times, and while the hotel was a bit below my expectations, the neighborhood was above my expectations. I would not refuse to stay there... More

For American standards, the rooms are a bit claustrophobic at times. It's small but everything you need is right there. With three suit cases and tons of shopping bags, we still managed to make it work for our 5 day stay. The bathroom could use a little remodeling, but it served it's purposes just fine. Elevators are small but that's... More
