Best Western Aramis Saint-Germain

We booked a family room for two nights in February half term. The room was very clean and the bathroom had lots of decent toiletries. The Reception was being refurbished so it was temporarily re-located to the bar area, which was a shame because it meant the bar and breakfast area was out of use for guests. Breakfast was served in your room instead. The Receptionist was extremely helpful on check-in and gave us some ideas of places to visit whilst we were in Paris. The hotel has a good location with lots of restaurants close by. I would definitely stay here again. less

We spent 3 nights here and had breakfast in the hotel every morning. The lady on breakfast was very smiley :) and the breakfast room is nice and bright. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There is a kettle and a minibar in the rooms. The bed was very comfortable. We had a quiet room on the Rue de Vaugirard side. There are lots of shops just outside - cafes and bakeries. The nearest metro stop is the Saint-Placide which is just outside the hotel. You can also pick up the RER B to/from the airport at the Luxembourg stop which is a very pleasant 15 minute walk via Rue de Fleurus through the gardens. less

We loved the location on Rue de Rennes- not excessively touristy, close to several metro lines, short walk to Blvd St Germain - which has many excellent and reasonably priced restaurants, long but very doable walk to Isle de la Cite, les Halles, Place de la Concorde, Louvre (35 min walk) , shops and supermarkets close by, many Churches and museums nearby etc. St Placide metro is across the street and Rennes metro is a block away; Montparnasse RER (train direct from airport) and metro is 3 blocks away. The hotel rooms are small but not by Parisian standards. Room was clean (though rug seemed a big questionable), bathroom was nice, small fridge where we could remove their drinks and put in ours, helpful staff at front desk, good recommendations on nearby restaurants. Elevator was quite small but functioned OK as did steep stairs. Room temperature was adjustable with thermostat. A fairly ample closet to put our stuff. Room has safe and TV including CNN in English, etc. We had the "comfort" room instead of "deluxe" but it was quite adequate. Apparently deluxe has an expresso machine instead of just a water boiler with (quite good) instant coffee and tea. We liked the hotel would stay there again. Price was high (about $260 with breakfast for two) - two or three times what web sites advertised for this and other nearby hotels, but apparently some conventions in January raised the prices of this and other nearby hotels. Holiday Inn across the street was similar price - perhaps a tiny bit cheaper - but I would prefer this smaller hotel, all things considered. Good instant coffee and tea in the hotel room. The breakfast was adequate (15 Euros if you pay or 6.5 for a petit dejeuner the latter avail 6 to 12). Full breakfast included hard boiled eggs, coffee or tea prepared for you, apple, sometimes banana, fruit cocktail, yogurt plain or flavored, cereals, croissants, bread, pain au chocolat - little rolled up pieces of ham. Not quite as nice as the full buffet choices at some hotels but quite adequate for our needs - full breakfast is only available 7 to 10:30. Hotel is affiliated to Best Western, but not owned by them. We loved the area, liked the hotel and would stay there again if it is price competitive with holiday inn or other nearby hotels. Reception staff speaks English and French. Internet is free and worked well with my Samsung phone but for some reason didn't work with my wife's I phone - perhaps problem was her phone. Lots of places in Paris have free internet these days - restaurants, etc. We paid for a double (available at 2 PM) but we arrived at 9 AM - exhausted and they gave us a triple, available immediately at no extra charge. less

First of all, a lot of mold and dust in the ventilation system (the photo is attached) which makes the room dangerous for health. I sneezed and coughed regularly, it stopped only with the opened window. Second, a very arrogant and never helpful person (actually the only one) at the reception - whatever I asked him the answer was "no". The last irritating thing - twice he couldn't print a bill without a mistake in my name. He told me that sent me it by email, but didn't do it. The location of the hotel is perfect & good cleaning. less

My wife and I stayed in Hotel Aramis and everything was good. The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating and we would stay there again. The location is close to shops, restaurant, bus stop and Metro. less
