Le Placide Saint Germain des Pres in Paris

Beautiful hotel in the most amazing location. Right across from Le Bon Marché and near a ton of shops, restaurants, and the metro. Neighborhood is really cute and felt very safe.

Hotel staff were great. We arrived completely soaked after walking from the metro in the pouring rain and they immediately brought us towels to dry off with and umbrellas to borrow for when we went out again.

Rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely sized. I had a terrace room, but didn’t spend much time out there since the weather wasn’t great during my stay. Still, it was a nice addition.

I had a fantastic experience at Hôtel Le Placide and will absolutely stay here again next time I visit Paris.

A comfortable and spacious room by Parisian standards. The hotel is very small without the facilities of larger establishments but the room was comfortably equipped, the bathroom spacious and the location excellent. The reception staff were polite and helpful.
Older people with limited mobility might find it challenging climbing into the deep bath to use the shower.

Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The room and bathroom were clean. It's only a few steps to Le Bon Marche and la Grande Epicerie, and Miraculous Medal. Also a few steps to metra.

Clean rooms, helpful staff, great location

We stayed at Hotel Saint Germain in july 2025,and had a pleasant experience overall. The building itself is a bit dated and has a boutique feel with only 12 rooms, but our room was quite comfortable and cozy.

The location is excellent – there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and it’s close to the metro as well as the Bon Marché supermarket, which was very convenient.

Breakfast was continental, with a decent variety of pastries, breads, and coffee. Eggs could be cooked on request, which was a nice touch.

The standout feature was the staff – everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really made a difference during our stay.

Overall, a charming little hotel in a great location, perfect for travelers who appreciate a quieter, more personal atmosphere.

This hotel is on a very nice neighborhood location, very close to the Grand Epicerie and Bon Marche. There are tons of shops nearby, such as the Franprix (local grocery) to get snacks, water and sundries if needed. There are also lots of cafes and restaurants nearby and metro stations literally 2-3 minutes away. The service was impeccable especially the breakfast service. If you're not around before dinner, they also will do a turn down service. Though the hotel is dated and the brown carpet probably would be better for allergy sufferers if replaced with a hard surface (hardwood, lux vinyl etc), the beds were comfortable enough. The airconditioning was good and a blessing on the hot humid days. There are generous sized wardrobes and a desk and a few chairs. It would be nicer if there was a small table to eat meals from. We stayed at the Triple suite and it was a good sized room with plenty of space for our luggage, especially for hotels in Paris. The bathroom was especially spacious and it's nice the windows can open to air the bathroom out. The shower could be better if there was a handle bar to get in and out of the tub, for safety reasons. It was difficult for me, being short, to get in and out. The supplied toiletries from Nuxe we didn't use because my husband and daughter have sensitivity to smell (causes migraines). They were very heavily perfumed like pomade. Nevertheless, the Franprix and nearby Pharmacies (several nearby) provided us some organic toiletries and we used those instead. The staff is very kind and often asked if we needed anything. Since it was rainy, the hotel supplied large umbrellas for the guests to use. In all, we would definitely stay here again given the chance.

Tip: book directly with the hotel than using a site like Expedia or Booking etc. Not only are the rates way better, they have specials that include the breakfast buffet and also the option to hire a car for airport pickup and drop off. This was super convenient and it was very reasonable.

Excellent!!
I can recommend the hotel because we stayed very comfortable thanks to high hospitality of all persons working in the hotel. Its facilities were a little bit old but I didn’t care.

Amazing experience and service

A true gem in the heart of a beautiful neighbourhood, this hotel embodies everything that makes a stay exceptional: ideal location, comfort, cleanliness, and above all, heartfelt hospitality. Though our stay was short, it left a lasting impression and made our time in Paris unforgettable.

As many reviewers have said, the staff's professionalism and warmth truly stand out. We especially want to thank Benjamin, who went above and beyond during a moment of crisis. After checking out in the morning, we returned in the evening to pick up our luggage only to find out that our Eurostar to London, along with all later departures, had been cancelled. Panic set in as we watched every possible route home disappear from the screen.

Benjamin didn't hesitate. He sat with us, patiently helping us search for any remaining way home. Though we were no longer guests, he offered us seats, water, and genuine care. His kindness in that moment meant more than words can express. Benjamin, we are glad to inform you we eventually made it back safely.

Thanks a million, Hotel Le Placide, Benjamin and all the staff. When we return to Paris, we’ll come straight back here.
