This is the second time I have stayed at the Hotel du Lys and will make this my-when-in-Paris home. If you love old historical buildings with plenty of character-this is the place for you! It's a charming early 17th century building, located right between the Saint Germain and Latin Quarter districts. Close to Notre Dame cathedral and all of central Paris. They serve a fantastic,yet simple breakfast. Most of the clientele are Europeans, because this is a hidden gem.
I had a memorable stay here. The staff is wonderful!
I speak French but the reception staff also speaks multiple languages including English. The petit-déjeuner was included and was just the ticket to start off the day - a nice light French breakfast but if you want larger fare or outside dining, there are excellent restaurants around the corner. There are also faster food restaurant options within a short walking distance and the staff speak multiple languages - English is typically the fall back language. The Saint-Germain des Pres area is very safe during the day and in the evening. The most dangerous thing I encountered were the tourists on bicycles - look out for them!😬I was there for 4 weeks and I came and went at all times of the day including in the wee hours of the morning and saw nothing concerning. There is also a nice grocery store around the corner and you can get most everything you might want - including fresh baked goods and even a small salad bar. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Seine and Notre-Dame. The Louvre is about 15 minutes and is a beautiful walk along the Seine and you can browse the wares of the bouquinistes on the way!
I really like this hotel because it is centrally located yet very quiet. Is my second time staying here

Liked: Cleanliness
Good location, near many metros. Clean.
Very basic rooms, smallest lift I’ve ever seen, but better than the unsafe stairs.
I think it would be fine if it was 1/3 of the price. It is at max a $EUR100 a night room.
Charming building with historical architecture and fixtures intact. Air conditioned room and they have an elevator. Breakfast served daily. Location ideal for me. Metro nearby, safe, walkable neighborhood. Comfortable bed.

I spent 3 nights followed later by a single night. The hotel is in an excellent position, near to the Odeon metro and is excellent value for this location. On both occasions the rooms were clean and comfortable if a little basic. The continental breakfast provided sets you up well for the day. The staff are friendly, helpful and obliging.
The lift is the narrowest I have experienced, with space for only one person (with a small backpack) and a single piece of luggage. It adds to the charm of the place which is decorated in a late 19th century style.
