It takes time to find a hotel to meet your personal tastes and requirements. I tend to prefer hotels that are modern, moderately priced, and located centrally. It took us three times to find a hotel to call home in Paris. For us it is the Hotel d’Albe in the Latin Quarter. The rooms are clean and modern. Service is good. The location is perfect. The hotel is one block from the RER train service. We take the train from CDG airport direct to the city and the station is fairly easy to manage (although you have to be okay with getting lost a few times and be able to manage your own luggage).
Hotel d’Albe is one block from St. Michel and the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. If you cannot live without American-style (and size) coffee or tea, a friendly Starbucks is very close. If you use the metro the St. Michel station is the closest and only a few steps away. One word of caution – if you are a ‘light’ sleeper the Latin Quarter can be noisy. You should ask for a higher floor room assignment and don’t plan to open your sound-proof windows for fresh air at night.
All-in-all Hotel d’Albe gets high scores from our crew.
