Select Hotel - Rive Gauche
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was exceptional, and the hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the major sites. Breakfast, served on the lower level, was excellent and a great way to start the day.

Hotel Les Bulles de Paris
The room was clean. Staff was pretty accommodating. They offered to store things in the refrigerator for me. The rooms were very small, which is normal in Europe,but the bathroom was very roomy. It would’ve been nice if the beds were high enough for me to place my luggage under it, but unfortunately ...
