Dear Frances,Thank you for your review !It is true we had AC issues in May and we apologize for that.As for the size of the room, we are sorry you found the Deluxe room to be too small for you. Hotels in Paris tend to have smaller rooms than other places in the world.Don't hesitate to look at our website next time, we have all of our rooms categories as well a detailed description of them.We hope you still had a good stay with us at the Select Hotel Rive Gauche and that we'll get to see you again.Have a lovely day !

Excellent location, just across the street from the historical Sorbonne (though the University has expanded so much there are a lot of locations that could say the same) Staff was polite and helpful, but appears to not communicate well amongst themselves. We asked for, and paid for, delayed checkout. But returned an hour before our newly agreed checkout time to find all our belongings moved to another room because housekeeping wasn’t in the loop. Nothing appears to have been lost in the process, but it was a big disruption to an already tight schedule, and created unnecessary stress. The carpeting was getting a bit old/worn, and color pattern showed soil —not what I expected at that price. The room was adequately sized for two, but just….and only one towel apiece? Seriously? I wouldn’t rule it out for a return visit, but I’d shop around. Too expensive for what you get. Access was difficult, and parking non existent.

However, we would like to reassure you, we do have a maintenance routine, especially when it comes to the carpeting.We thank you for letting us and we'll make sure there's a follow up on what you have pointed out.We hope we'll get the chance to welcome you upon your next trip if you ever want to wome back to the Select Hotel !Have a lovely day

The hotel is an absolute gem. Located on a small plaza in front of the Sarbonne it is a perfect location. Few minutes to ReR to reach Charles de Gaulle and short Walk to two metro lines. Room was great and front desk staff staff are really helpful grea. The hotel offers all the items you need such a breakfast and a bar. But you are inches from hundreds of food choices ranging from international chains to local mid priced restaurants to fine dinning. The area has energy Without being overdone and noisy. Will will be back Check in time is later and they hold bags while you go out. We returned when asked and our room was ready and our luggage already there.

Our stay at Hotel Rive Gauche was wonderful. It is in a great location close to plenty of restaurants, stores, and attractions. The staff was friendly and attentive and our room was nice. If we return to Paris we would stay here again!
