Lucked into this hotel after our original choice was under renovation. As others have noted, the rooms are small but that didn't bother us and the attentive staff and other details more than made up for it. Our stay was all inclusive so that the champagne, wine, and snacks in the lobby as well as made-to-order breakfast in the room was included in the reasonable rate (for Paris at least!). The hotel is modern but still charming and the location is terrific.

We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed it very much. The room was nicely appointed but very small. The closet was tiny and there was no other storage for clothes or luggage. The bathroom was also small, but there was a separate water closet. Location was very good and the staff was very helpful. Breakfast was great and there was coffee and tea in the room. The lobby areas were very comfortable.

Esprit is all about the Left Bank! A great location set in the most fashionable district of Paris, surrounded by the loveliest boutiques and shops, all types of galleries and patisseries like Pierre Herme and Gérard Mulot. It is truly in walking distance to the heart of Paris... the Louvre, Musee D’Orsay and Notre Dame. The hotel, as you know, is within sight of the Church of Saint Sulpice, but also it is sandwiched between both Rue Bonaparte and Rue de Seine -- which take you directly to the river... via a wonderful array of restaurants, galleries and cafes like Deux Magots, Cafe de Fleur and don’t miss - Laduree. The blocks around the hotel simply breathe of luxury in hushed tones. The creativity that goes into Parisian window displays – whether to front a high-fashion house or a neighborhood chocolatier – is unmatched anywhere in the world. This is one of the best neighborhoods to experience window shopping, where a medieval maze of streets have trend-setting boutiques, old shops like Poilane, as well as, larger stores like Au Bon Marché. Between the church of St-Germain-des-Prés and that of St-Sulpice, hides a little restaurant La Petite Cour and just a little further is great dining at Helene Darroze. All of this adds to your stay at Esprit Saint Germain. The hotel interior has the same panache - subtle but its detail, detail, detail. The cozy fireplace in the living room just lures you in like being in a private club. Wonderful candles add to the glow and fresh aromas. Everything has been thought out. As the hotel is small - efficiency rules and the space is utilized very smartly. The bathrooms are perfectly fitted, sleek slate, great lighting, mirrors with storage behind, and a deep soaking tub. Mini-bars are very generous. Tea/coffee maker well supplied. Liked a bottle of water on the desk. And loved being sent off to the airport with a bottle of water for the trip... a very thoughtful gesture -- and there were plenty of them. The breakfast room is warm with the lovely vaulted ceiling - well lit with modern fixtures ample for reading the morning paper and quiet. I found this an ideal spot for breakfast. Excellent quality of jams, honey and butter. The staff was exceptional -- polite, friendly and were proactive hosts. They take exceptional pride in the hotel. This is a jewel and it creates the magic! If every guest has my experience the client satisfaction and loyalty and word of mouth will undoubtedly will have the hotel will be full year round and I won't be able to get reservations. I am be confident every guest is going to have a special experience on the Left Bank.

I have styed at many of the large, famous 5* hotels in Paris. This time I wanted to have something different and chose Esprit Saint Germain. This hotel is very pleasant, elegant and low-profile luxurious. No gold glittering, no fancy tricks. Small, boutique style. Very frienly staff.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in May and had a great time. We had the lowest level room -- and while small as expected, it was very nicely done, with a king size bed, flatscreen TV and a nice sized tub in the bathroom. They put fresh fruit in our room every day along with chocolate. The room was totally quiet and no problem with any noise. While the rooms are small, they have a living room in the lobby that is very comfortable if you need to get out of the room. They also have an complimentary open bar, which is something I had never seen. You can help yourself, but invariably the staff will come in and take care of you. The staff was great, not only with the drinks, but with eating recommendations, etc. The location is fantastic and you can walk to just about any of the sights in Paris -- assuming you like to walk, which we did.
