Great area and the hotel was really close to a metro station, so travelling to other destinations all over Paris was easy. The neighbourhood retains a village feel about it, especially when you head off of the main road. Sadly France is now going down the same route as the UK with their shopping malls - all the same shops, but there were some delightful independent shops with impeccable service. Sone lovely bars and restaurants, and I would definitely recommend Brasserie Zeyer, built in 1913, which has a beautiful ceiling, good quality food and excellent service. The staff at the hotel were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is in a quiet street. The rooms are the worst thing! We paid for a superior room but it was definitely not that. It was on the top floor and although it was reasonably spacious for a Parisien hotel room, the bathroom facilities were atrocious. The bath only had a hand held shower attachment - no taps. There was no shower curtain either, resulting in water going everywhere.The hand basin was a stand-alone contraption and the tap was like a shower one, except that it did not move and only delivered cold water. We complained on our second day at the hotel and were told that we could change our room, which we did on the third day. The new room did at least have a proper shower and a functioning hand basin t

Sophie is the best!

I always try to stay in the 14th district when in Paris but this was my first trip to this hotel. Everything was perfect but the best was a beautiful woman herself named Sophie. She was a gem! Helpful, kind knowledgeable and always smiling Next time I am in Paris I'll stay here.

Hit or Miss

We were assigned two double rooms that were significantly different in quality. One was extremely tiny with red painted walls and the other was a pleasant, more spacious loft on the top floor. When I complained of the disparity, they thankfully gave us a bigger room. Note that some of the rooms only have bathtubs with handheld shower. So tell them you need full shower if this would be a problem. The water for showers started out hot and quickly went cold. We were told it was a surge of guest usage, but this happened every shower, day and night, for 7 days. The hotel needs to monitor smoking more. One floor (4) had a definite smoke smell and the neighbors were smoking. Wifi was spotty. That said, all rooms and bathrooms were clean and new. The beds were comfortable. Each room had a mini-fridge. Two receptionists made an error on my bill and I was surprised with a significant extra charge at checkout. The billing breakdown seemed to verify this, but how could two separate people make such a mistake?! Hotel is in a good location near a metro station. All in all, this hotel can be a hit or miss. You may get a pleasant, spacious room or a tiny dark one. You may get competent reception or not, you may get a fresh or smoky smell. You may have strong wifi or weak. You may have a tub or shower, hot water or cold. You may do worse in Paris…. but you may do better.

Nice little spot

We really enjoyed our stay at Sophie Germain. The front desk couldn't have been nicer. We didn't spend much time at the hotel except to sleep but the room was comfortable and the windows blocked out all outside noise. The hotel has been renovated and it very nice. The bathroom was especially pretty and the shower amazing! The neighborhood is not touristy and that was ok after dealing with crowds of tourists all day. Metro right across the street. Very handy.

Good location outside the tourist noise

Honey moon style trip around Europe and we found this hotels to be very convenient. Just 2 min from the Metro, walking distance to Rue Daguerre street with lots of cafes and local food stores. Hotel was excellent with English speaking staff, front desk service 24hrs, tiny rooms though. No big deal, we still had a great time.

Great stay

Our stay at Hotel Sophie Germain had been such a wonderful stay. The receptionist at the front, Josephine, was absolutely amazing! She was super helpful and really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Our only issue was with the rooms and bathrooms being a bit small and the fact that it had smelt like cigarettes, including the towels. Other than that, we were pretty comfortable. The service we received was phenomenal. We also weren’t too far from the main city of Paris. It was about a fifteen minute Uber drive to the Eiffel Tower. By walking distance we were right by a whole bunch of cafes and a little mini mart.
