We loved this hotel. It was just what we needed: great friendly and helpful staff, ideal location for access to the Latin Quarter, Notre Dame etc. the beds were very comfortable, the heating worked perfectly, we loved our corner room with the balcony and view, lots of cares, restaurants and crepe rides within 5-10 minutes walk!

On the Ave. saint Germaine there is a place called Leon Des Bruxelles that specializes in mussels. Also we recommend La Grange restaurant on Rue La Grange for exquisite French cuisine, moderate prices for both.

Felt like luxury for the price

Staff extremely friendly. Stone throw from the river and surrounded by multiple restaurants. Nice bathroom, beds comfy. Room wasn't big but for European standards it would be consider so. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location

Very clean rooms, small but with everything you could need. Excellent location for RER and transport. Lots of eating places around hotel. The 'rules' about not keeping our drinks in the room mini bar and no food or drink allowed in the room were a bit OTT! Breakfast was nice but very expensive at 12 Euros for a boiled egg, toast and ham I would not recommend taking the breakfast at these prices, plenty of cafes next to the hotel. Paris is fantastic, we walked everywhere.

Great location! Cooperative staff.

This was a family trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We have been to Paris before and wanted to stay on the Left Bank. The Albe met all our needs and more. The location (next to Place St Michel) was very convenient. We walked everywhere or took the nearby Metro. Although the rooms were on the small side, they were comfortable and spotless and the staff always had a smile regardless of the question/request. They even let me use their computer to print our boarding passes. The breakfast was also a good way to start the day and all you can eat. I definitely will stay here again the next time I visit Paris.

Guy's trip

My two sons and I just returned from a week touring Paris. We stayed at the Albe which is located perfectly for easy travel to any destination. (That includes our day trip to London via train.) Both the RER Lines and the Metro are mere steps from the lobby. The staff was inviting and all spoke fluent English. They were helpful with directions and suggestions to any interest a traveler may have. The rooms were comfortable, clean, appropriately decorated with adequate storage space. The beds were three twins and my son who is 6'4" easily fit on the bed which we all agreed were very comfortable. The bathrooms were recently refurbished and were done well. The new windows do provide a good buffer to the sound below and we were rarely aware of the lively night life once in our rooms, with the exception of the very loud and understandable celebration by the Spanish soccer fans in their EU championship win. I read many reviews before choosing this hotel and I would certainly recommend staying at the Albe. We had a very enjoyable and pleasant stay.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Spend some time and review the train (RER) and subway (Metro) maps and learn to read the schedules. Plan where you want to go and then use the interactive map and plan your travels in advance if you are a first time visitor.
