"Absolutely Fantastic !! "
I stayed in this hotel in March 2008 for three nights on a weekend break with my mam. We were delighted with our choice of hotel which was in a lovley area of Paris. On our arrival the staff could not have been more helpful and throughout our stay they were very friendly and lovely to talk to.
The hotel itself was fantastic, with lovely contemporary decoration and very comfortable beds. The rooms were big enough for us both and our luggage, the bathrooms are compact but we had no problems managing.
The location is also excellent and we walked to all of the major sites.
We would definately recommend the hotel to anyone. Thank you very much for a fantastic stay!!

"*** Perfect Paris Hotel***"
The room was immaculate, a decent size for French standards, and had a queen size bed (which was a must for us as opposed to 2 twins pushed together). The mattress and pillows were actually more comfortable than our mattress at home. We acutally had a week of the most amazing sleep! (We have 5 year old twins so this meant everything to catch up on sleep!) The bathroom was small but very clean and the shower was always hot and the water pressure was great.
The staff was absloutely lovely and they went out of their way to make our stay pleasurable. They assisted us with reservations, recommendations, and directions. We were actually there during the Metro strike and pleasantly suprised to find it really didnt affect anything as we were able to walk to so many things from the hotel.
I absolutely can not wait to go back.....my only only worry is that everyone will find out what an incredible place this is to stay in Paris ...and we wont be able to get a reservation!!!

"A gem of a hotel"
I have only good things to say about this hotel. My brother & I stayed at the Hotel des Academies for a couple of nights and we found the hotel to be excellent value for money staffed by a team that really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and assist whenever they could.
I have stayed in many hotels in Paris that claim a 5 star rating with a price to match and they have been very disappointing. The Hotel des Academies on the other hand does not claim to be anything it is not. It is an excellent 3 and a half star hotel that is tastefully decorated, clean and affordable and the staff were very attentive and welcoming.
I will be sure to come back for my next trip to Paris and this little gem of a hotel proves you don't have to spend 400 euros plus a night for a good hotel in Paris.

"Luxe,calme et volupté..."
Séduit par le cadre artistique et luxueux de l'hôtel, chaque détail a été subtilement pensé...
Soucieux de votre bien-être, l'accueil est à l'image du décor: chaleureux et délicat. Le petit déjeuner est exquis (chouquettes salade de fruits frais etc...)
L'hôtel est idéalement situé dans un calme absolu.
Mais chuuut....., gardez cette adresse secrète. Dans quelques mois cet hôtel deviendra le lieu le plus sollicité des hôtels en vogue. Un seul regret, une nuit ne suffit pas pour savourer ce séjour où le temps semble s'être arrêté....
Un grand merci à ceux qui ont oeuvré pour ce lieu magique et hors du commun!
D' Evian ou d'ailleurs, prenez votre temps et réservez votre chambre...

Chers Laurent, Henry, Patricia, Mathilde (et toute l'équipe),
Nous voudrions vous remercier encore une fois pour notre très, très bon séjour. quand par hasard nous avons trouvé votre hôtel, nous n'aurions pas pu deviner que nous trouverions un vrai bijou. quel service! le meilleur pétit déjeuner que nous ayons jamais mangé et les leçons de français à la clef!
il faut aussi ajouter que le chauffeur qui nous a emmené à l'aéroport était très gentil: il nous a amené dedans où il faut aller avant de nous quitter.
nous avons renseigné notre agent de voyage sur votre hôtel et nous en parlerons avec nos amis qui aiment les hôtels de charme.

Monsieur Inchauspé,
Une petite note pour vous remercier de m'avoir reçu si chaleureusement malgré le branle-bas des rénovations de l'hôtel. Merci aussi pour l'excellent petit déjeuner. Une fois les rénovations terminées, je suis convaincu que votre hôtel sera un petit bijou où il me fera énormément plaisir de retourner si l'occasion se présente.
Merci et bonne chance
Claude T. Quebec City-7 avril 2007
Dear Mr. Inchauspé,
We could not have been more pleased with our stay with you the week of June 30 through July 6. Your hotel is really a gem with a level of service that manages to be both excellent and warm. We had been looking for a smaller hotel with a chic, contemporary style, business-level amenities, attentive, friendly service and convenient to transportation and restaurants. We found all of those things at Hotel Des Academies et Des Arts. Many thanks to you and your staff for helping to make our time in Paris so enjoyable.
Warm regards,

"Finally the right place"
Decorated with taste (modern but cosy), very quiet and lovely management. Plus, brand new adds up to the comfort. A 3 stars with a 4 stars room service. I am coming back soon

"Great small Left Bank Hotel"
Hotel was everything the Trip Advisor reviews said it was . We spent 4 nights for my wife's 60th Birthday (remember 60 is the new 40) and had a delightful time. The staff was very attentive, drew out maps to everywhere we wanted to go (we've been to Paris a number of times before so we had some more unusual requests for sights). They made dinner reservations for us and were able to get us in where we wanted to go. Location is interesting deep in the Left Bank and area around the hotel--Luxembourg Gardens, etc. is beautiful and peaceful. We walked to the Seine more than once and to Boulevard St-Germain so area is accessible. The Metro Stop is a few hundred yards from the hotel entrance. Room is Parisian-- small but cute and if you adjust--one stays on the bed when the other is moving, etc. it is fine. Loved the artwork although thru a slight mix-up--our fault--we missed the sculpter/artist when she visited.
One of the best, most memorable birthdays my wife ever spent.

"a must go: no better place to stay in Paris!"
Brand new, fantastic decoration, in the heart of Paris "rive gauche", dream crew, perfect beds and bathrooms, etc. etc. What else can you dream of? L'Hotel des Academies is the perfect boutique hotel, that one Paris was missing. An ideal base to explore the city: you're only 2 minutes away from "les Jardins du Luxembourg"; you can basically walk anywhere in Paris from the hotel. The hotel area itself is full of life, with trendy / local restaurants, cafés, "bistrots", cinemas, shops. Whatever you're after, the staff will give useful tips (if you need): they're a goldmine. Last but not least, breakfast is served until noon! Simply smart. Stay there, you won't regret. Seb

"Superb and stylish"
This hotel (opened just a few months ago), is situated on a good location in a nice street, just around the corner of Rue Montpernasse.
We liked our room. Although not large, it was decorated and furnised with style and sense of color. The bed was great.
The hotel itself is decorated with a lot of visual surprises and has a very nice atmosphere. The art is made by local, but getting-to-be famous artists (you can visit their atelier on request).
The staff is not only very professional but also friendly and multi-lingual, and the breakfast was superb.
We just stayed one night, but we definitely will come back in this very nice hotel.

"Fantastic Hotel - Would Highly recommend"
Just spent an amazing weekend at the hotel des academies et des arts. Having heard the reputation of the room sizes in Paris, was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case here. The decor, attention to detail and finishing touches throughout the building have made this the nicest hotel I have stayed in to date. Also as the hotel is less than a five minute walk from the metro line and various restaurants and bars, the location can only be beaten by the fantastic staff who work here. Already looking forward to returning early next year - would highly recommend this hotel.

"Stylish and brand new"
stayed three nights here. What a fantastic hotel. It is great value and the quality of the finishes in the rooms is superb. They are quite small but perfectly formed. It was only re-opened as a 3 star hotel but in terms of the rooms, I have stayed in much worse 4 and 5 star hotels previously. If you like a contemporary boutique 'feel' then I could not recommend it more highly at the price.
The staff were also very friendly. When I had a problem with the hot water in my room I was upgraded and the staff seemed very eager to please. As it is brand new, it will have a few minor teething problems but I sense the committment from the staff to get this hotel on the map so they work hard to deliver.
It's less than 10 mins on the metro to 'Cite'. Vavin is just round the corner so easy to get anywhere in Paris. I had a really lovely walk into the heart of Paris from the hotel through the Jardin de Luxembourg (closeby), via the Pantheon.
I can't say anything about breakfast as I didn't sample it
Overall, it was great

"Modern Chic!"
Stayed here for 5 nights last week. Absolutely loved the new decor in this recently refurbished hotel. The finishes are of the highest quality and any minor snags that did occur were being dealt with as soon as they arise.
The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in and the showers are particularly cool with 6 body sprays for all over relaxation which was most welcome after a hot day walking around Paris.
Breakfast, if a little on the expensive side, was beautifully presented and very filing.
The Hotel is easily accessible from Vavin metro station and easy to get to using the RER line B from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Finally the staff were wonderfully helpful and welcoming.
