8/10 Very Good! (668 reviews)

Eric was very helpful in checking in and helping with other conforts. Lizanne was nice too, and Monhamed, too. The room is TINY and crowded with unnecessary furniture. The room needs a mirror too. Other than kind staff and convenient location, the room 54 i stayed in is for one small person only.

18.4/10 Exceptional! (131 reviews)

We stayed here recently for a week. Our apartment was lovely and was very modern and fresh. The kitchen facilities were ideal of our stay, with supermarkets close by. The location is fantastic, in a nice district with easy access to 6/7 metro/RER lines, making it a great base for seeing Paris and bit beyond (e.g. Disneyland, Versailles). The check-in and check-out process worked smoothly for us. We didn’t really need to see or speak to anyone there, although the staff were very pleasant and helpful when we did. We would happily stay here again.

#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
