HÔTEL RELAIS SAINT-GERMAIN ^{* * * *}

Toujours un excellent accueil. Et un super petit déjeuner malgré qu'il n'y ai plus de pain aux noix ...

I’ve been to Paris many times, but this was my first time staying at this hotel. Although the lady at the reception spoke in a somewhat cold or unfriendly manner, and although the bathroom shower area is a bit small and only had a handheld showerhead with no fixed mount, the room was really spacious, comfortable, and clean. The hotel’s location is also excellent. ||But the breakfast was disappointing. The selection was very limited, and on the first day, the bread and croissants were far from fresh—it tasted as if it was made two days ago (The bread and croissant of the second morning was better than the first day). What made the breakfast not enjoyable was their poor service.||As soon as I entered the restaurant for breakfast, I smiled and nodded at the waitress to greet her. However she only glanced at me coldly and immediately turned away to continue talking to another person (who seemed to be her colleague or possibly her supervisor, as he seemed to be sternly talking her about something). After a short while, she arranged a table for us but remained completely silent throughout, showing no basic courtesy.||I took a boiled egg and while peeling it, placed the eggshells on an empty plate on the table (without realizing that it was actually a saucer for coffee). She then brought me my coffee and placed it directly on the saucer full of eggshells. She should have provided me a clean one instead. When I pointed this out, she responded rudely, insisting that it was a coffee saucer and the coffee cup should be placed there, even if it had eggshells on it. So rude! ||I have never had such unpleasant experience!

My husband and.I had an amazing week in Paris while staying at Relais St. Germain last year. The location cannot be beat -- close walking distance to restaurants, shopping, grocery/convenience stores, parks, and the Seine. For the skincare aficionados, it's a 5 minute walk to CityPharma. It's also <1 minute walk from an entrance to the Odeon Metro stop and very close to bus and RER stops as well.

We stayed in the room with the steam shower, and the view from that room is incredible because it overlooks a plaza at the intersection of at least five streets (Carrefour L'Odeon) and multiple restaurants with outdoor seating. During waking hours, you're watching Paris be Paris. And when you sleep, the position of the room (2nd floor) means you are looking up at not just sky but other buildings with classic French architecture. It's like sleeping under Paris. Truly memorable.
My husband loved the steam shower and now wants one for our own house. The room also had a high ceiling, was well-decorated, and had a lot of seating.

The included daily breakfast at Le Comptoir was incredible. I would stay here again just for the fresh juice alone! The staff was very sweet and helpful.

The one potential pitfall I would mention is that if you have limited mobility, this might not be the best option for you. Like many boutique hotels in Paris, this hotel is in an old building with a unique layout. There are elevators, but our wing of the hotel still required steps to get to some of the rooms. It wasn't a problem for us but I would hesitate to book the same room for someone with bad knees. If mobility is not a concern (or you are able to confirm a room that is elevator accessible) and you want a destination boutique hotel in a great neighborhood, then don't hesitate to stay here.

This is an amazing Hotel
Nearby all the amazing places

Title: Wonderful Stay in an Amazing Location

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, and the staff was exceptionally polite and accommodating—they even gave us a free upgrade, which was a lovely surprise.

I don’t agree with some reviews about the lobby being too small—it was a good size with a comfortable waiting area, and the staff was courteous enough to send our luggage up so we didn’t have to carry it ourselves. Yes, the elevator is small (about the size of a cupboard), but it’s functional, and given that it’s a heritage building, this is expected. If you’re claustrophobic, taking the stairs is a good option.

The staff truly made our stay memorable, and the neighborhood was simply amazing. I would love to stay here again on my next visit. Thank you to the hotel team for a wonderful experience!
