8.4/10 Very Good! (570 reviews)

Villa Alessandra is a wonderful choice for your stay in Paris. Their staff members are extremely welcoming and kind and they are very helpful. The cleaning crew is also very nice and do a very good job of keeping the place clean. The area around the hotel is very safe- it is close to transportation and also offers a variety of shopping and food options. My only issue was that the AC in my room was broken, but the staff did provide me a fan that got the job done. Overall I had an amazing experience and highly recommend this hotel!

Cute boutique hotel, very clean, convenient location, nicely cooled room with AC, digitally connected TV. I wanted to give them 5 stars on all dimensions, however I’m also pretty sure that I was bitten by bed bugs. It’s not the hotel’s fault as bed bugs is a common problem in Paris and they are extremely hard to get rid of. That said, fellow travelers need to take caution in Paris in general to prevent bed bugs from crawling into belongs.

Great location in the Marais. Hotel is a little dated, but room size was great and bed very comfortable. Wifi very shaky.

#Architecture The city of Paris is so layered with history, it's easy to forget that beyond the Renaissance palaces and Gothic cathedrals there lie traces of the city's Roman heritage. Named Lutèce, after the Latin Lutetia, Gallo-Roman Paris was a prosperous town stretching from the Ile de la Cité to the Left Bank. If you read Asterix and Obelix you’ll be quite familiar with Lutetia.

Paris' 5th arrondissement, covering what was once the "new town", is home to the only remaining vestiges of the Gallo-Roman era in Paris. These include the remains of the thermal baths at Musée de Cluny, and the Arènes de Lutèce.

Built toward the end of the first century A.D. on the slopes of the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève outside Lutèce, the Arènes were used as a theater, circus, and sporting arena. The style of construction is relatively rare for an amphitheater of its period, different from the round or classical oval
