Select Hotel - Rive Gauche

I enjoyed my stay, good location for sight seeing and lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. Just steps from the pantheon and notre dame. My room was spacious and had a nice bathroom and comfy bed. Some of the areas were a bit dated but all considered I would definitely stay here again. Staff was very helpful!

Great little hotel next to the Sorbonne. Easy access to Luxembourg GRE station.

The staff at the hotel were very nice. And the AC this time of year was working quite well in the room throughout the heat wave - a blessing in Paris in July. Unfortunately, their Internet networking devices had outdated security protocols (probably a decade old). ALL of my device's WiFi wizards warned me not to connect to their "unsecured network" because it was using substandard security protocols - so all traffic would be exposed. If you need to log into your work server or do any online shopping or banking, consider staying elsewhere. I looked at Executive level two rooms, and one of them had a much larger TV than the other, but for a four star hotel, I would have strongly preferred/expected that the TV's in all rooms would be a smart TV's with apps for Netflix and Amazon video, etc., or at least allow me to cast those services from one of my devices, but there was no support for either option. There were two English cable news channels, but the signal for one of them never worked. Like many hotels in Paris, things are rather compact in the rooms, especially the bathroom and separate toilet stall, but the materials were nice and the hot water pressure quite good. The bed was firm and linens were nice. The continental breakfast was quite decent. I spoke to the new manager and he said he is going to look into the internet security issues and ask the owner to consider internet hardware upgrades and smart TV's with casting capabilities. Ask ahead of booking!

The hotel was very clean and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only improvement I could recommend is better pillows, very hard, and towels were thin and scratchy. But overall it was a great stay and highly recommend.
