Best Western Quartier Latin Pantheon

Impressed initially by the decor and feel of this modern hotel, which was a pleasant change. Ideal location for a few days of business and parking was close by. However, I was sadly let down a few times... The hotel states all rooms are “air conditioned”, in the dictionary the definition: "a system for controlling the humidity, ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle, typically to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions". I called the reception, only to be told it doesn’t cool, it only heats. To get fresh air I had to open the windows at night for two days and was woke up continuously to traffic horns and drunken idiots screaming until 4am. Had I known this I would have booked elsewhere as this was the main reason I booked this hotel. Breakfast was literally a joke with no fresh whole fruit and a few pieces of meat on a plate. Opted for the boil your own eggs and stale toast for 13 euros!! Overall: I walked away after two nights feeling short changed, very tired, and un-refreshed. Positives: Shower was awesome! | Chinese takeaway a few doors down | Scandinavian Salad at the cafe on the corner | Great location. Negatives: Air conditioning - Unenthusiastic staff- Breakfast -> eat elsewhere less

We stayed for 3 nights. The location was just fantastic, the main reason we choose the hotel. 3 minute walk to Place Monge metro and a couple of minutes to rue mouffetard and all it's restaurants and shops. The room was comfortable and very clean. We didn't try the breakfast as preferred to set off at the beginnnig of the day no find someone out and about. One day, we walked from the hotel to the Notre Dame and along the river to the arc de triomphe and then the Eiffel Tour. The location really s very good. Staff on front desk always obliging and helpful, once giving us directions to the Pantheon and also booking the shuttle to return to CDG Airport. A fantastic stay. We will return. less

We arrived after a late train journey at the hotel. Sadly we were met my quite a grumpy male receptionist who could barely manage a smile despite our efforts to be nice . The hotel Itself was located with a nice reception area and clean but very small rooms which were cleverly designed to make the most of the space. For the price this is fine. The broadband was very slow less than 1meg so don’t expect to work or Skype anyone. Our departure in the morning was a very pleasant experience with a different man on reception. I’m not sure I’d rush back but it was fine. I’d probably pay the extra for a bigger room, better Wi-fi and service. The bed was very comfy so for a solo traveller who just needs to sleep this is probably the right place for you. less

There were 12 of us on a weekend in Paris and this hotel was great location, clean, and nice rooms. Some staff were excellent others not so great. Beautiful bakery across from hotel where hot drinks and pastries made a great Parisian start to the day! less

This property has the potential to earn a higher rating; however, their "free internet" was iffy at best and usually none-existent. This was a major nightmare for my travel mate who was on a working vacation and often at risk of missing important deadlines due to the spotty internet. When you could get internet access it was only for about 5 minutes and then the network connection would drop. During my 6-days stay, I probably tried to log back on to the internet at least 100 times. We even had problems with the computer in the lobby. Staff also was iffy. While they were all very polite, some were great while others were cluelessly inappropriate. As we returned rather late from dinner one extremely cold, rainy evening, the desk clerk yelled out to my travel mate just as we were about to enter the hotel. When she walked over, he clerk asked her to stand in the street to hold the parking space directly in front of the hotel so that he could repark his Mercedes. Turns out his car was only 3 cars down from the space he asked her to stand in the rain to hold! Although the hotel is kept clean, their housekeeping staff was pretty much the same. Some days they didn't bother to remove or replace dirty dishes. During the entire stay they only provided one tiny bar of soap for two people for both bathing and washing hands at the sink. Fortunately, I always travel with my own brand of soap. They also always had to be asked for enough towels. On the positive side, the location is great. There are restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores directly across the street or within a couple of blocks. It's also very close to the metro and by French standards, it's not too far a walk to some major landmarks like Norte Dame. I didn't try the breakfast, but my friend thought it was a good deal for the money. Overall, if you don't need or care about the internet and like us, don't mind a small room, this property might be okay for a value-conscience traveler because it's definitely clean, quiet, and well-located. However, I won't return unless they can assure me that they have fixed their internet connection problems. less
