Residence & Spa Le Prince Regent

Very clean hotel room; good amenities; larger apartments and smaller rooms available; nice spa including pool; competitively priced, quite inside, busy outside; excellent location; Metro stops close by; in walking distance of so many places you want to see; wonderful and reasonably priced French, Japanese, Indian, and Morrocan restaurants in a stone's throw; in our visit we would say Le Prince Regent in Spa delivers what it advertises.

I've not stayed on the Left Bank before now. It's an excellent place just south of Ile de la Cite and next to the Sorbonne. Good shopping and restaurants abound, and it's a short walk to the Louvre etc. We had a small issue our first evening with a blown fuse that wasn't fixed that evening, but the staff were extremely helpful (provided another room temporarily for my wife to finish her make-up etc.). Outrageously noisy guests returning one evening prompted the hotel to comp breakfast. Our room was a "studio" and was pretty spacious by European standards. Breakfast was very reasonable pastries, cereals, yoghurt, and fruit.

We loved the hotel. Rooms in Paris are usually small. This was roomy. We had a bedroom and a living room with connnected kitchen. The toilet had a separate room from the shower room. Great for a family of four since no one waits to go to bathroom until someone else out of shower. Had a dishwasher, stove, microwave, and even washing machine. Room had modern decor and the location was awesome...just 4 blocks from Notre Dame.

Checking in was a bit of a challenge because the hotel is not staffed after six PM. THe code that should have been sent to us did not arrive (perhpas in a spam filter), and I needed to find their number and figure out how to call to get the code.
