Hotel Montalembert

I wanted to like this hotel so badly, upon strong recommendations from a friend. The pros: Phenomenal location in St. Germain, with shops and restaurants just steps away. 15 min walk to d'Orsay, 20 min to the Louvre. Quiet safe area. Loved the service here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Everything you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. Very clean. You could tell the special care they take. Cons: Major construction made sleeping nearly impossible after 7am (lots of jackhammer noises), not to mention that was the view from my window. You can expect to hear the door slamming every morning at least two dozen times. Upstairs. Downstairs. Each time each room nearby was being serviced. That alone was enough to drive me crazy. The room size. I know European rooms tend to be smaller, but this felt like a tiny dorm room. Even the door to the bathroom slid across to save room. I felt a bit claustrophobic, honestly, especially for a room I spent good money for. No real lobby. There's a restaurant that appears to be a lobby, but no real area for hanging out. Bottom line: Pay less for elsewhere. Look for a hotel with bigger rooms and just Uber to wherever. Not worth the money, given construction, constant door slamming and tiny rooms.

Great Hotel. Lacking facilities like tea and coffee in the room . Ordering room service teas and coffees mixed results. Late afternoon before heading out for dinner sometimes 3 seperate knocks on the door with water or other checking so annoying when you are recuperating from sightseeing .

A last night in Paris after a lovely week in Provence. The hotel was a lovely respite within Paris. The service and staff were excellent - they made a beautiful hotel even that much more beautiful. Would stay again at this hotel when next in Paris!

Very small room Not good value for money Awful House wines The location was good. That's it.

This hotel and its staff exceeded our expectations in every respect.
