Grand Hotel Saint Michel was the cutest hotel. They had fully decorated for Christmas by November 18. It is very centrally located to various bus stops and trains/metros. Its in the heart of a college town, with the University of Sorbonne is literally across the street. Being in a college town makes for the perfect stay because you will easily find restaurants, pubs, and souvenir shops. The Pantheon is not too far of a walk, and the musee de cluny is also close by. The fact that hotel is located within the latin quarter makes this the perfect place. Not to mention, for those who love emily in paris… her house, gabriel’s restaurant, and the boulangerie are all about a 6 minute walk! The hotel itself is small and cozy, I loved they had a spa that is available to the guest at no additional cost. The room itself is on the smaller side, the only major issue we had was with the shower… the way the shower head was placed is in an interesting spot, so it makes it a bit complicated at times to get the door to open or close. Unfortunately our comforter was dirty or stained… but we just did without it. Net this is a must stay when in Paris.
