Our stay at the Academie - in a so-called superior room - was somewhat disappointing. We had room 502 on the top floor. The term in French is "chambre de bonne". Poky. We had to move around carefully so as not to bump into each other (we are not overweight, by the way!) The little desk/table could not be used... more

Booked the hotel for 3 nights as I had to be in Paris for work. The location of the hotel is ideal just nearby the lively areas of St Germain des Pres. An underground car park nearby was very handy as well (26 Euro for a night). Staff was nice although one of the guys manning the reception does not... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. We were given rm 501 on the top floor. This meant that we had a good-sized balcony and a small skylight/window in the bathroom. It also meant that the roof in the bathroom sloped down so a tall person would have trouble in the bathtub. We did not and... more

We stayed at the Hotel de l'Academie July 26th - August 16th, 2008. I think the two greatest features of the hotel are the location and the air conditioner. The lobby is very cute too. The night guy is very friendly if you strike up a conversation with him. We stayed in room 502 and although a bit small, we... more

Stayed with young daughter and loved it. Great location, good value and lovely parisian style. Would definitely return. more

I really loved this hotel as did my 14 year old niece. It was full of character with some lovely period pieces of furniture, exposed beams and lovely soft furnishings. Despite the old fashioned decor there was still very modern bathroom, and plumbing, flat screen cable TV and very effective air conditioning (which we were very grateful for). Bedroom size... more

For short stay in Paris ideal situation. Wallking distance to St. Germain shopping (quality shops) and restaurants etc. also to the Louvre, Tuileries, Musee d'Orsay etc. In fact we were able to walk right into the city Boulevard Hausmann, Opera etc etc with relative ease. Staff very accommodating, friendly, polite. Rooms ok, but we had a deluxe each, (single travellers)... more

After reading the other reviews I believe this hotel tries to make more money by saying that their standard rooms are "sold out" upon arrival, put you in a suite and then ask if you want to stay in that suite for additional $euros per night, as that is exactly what happened with me and my travel companion upon our... more

We booked this though Travelocity and got a really good deal. I was worried that it couldnt be as nice as it looked online but it definitely lived up to expectations! We wanted a typically French looking quirky hotel and thats exactly what we got :) We were offered a bigger room when we checked in and instantly given keys... more
