Hôtel Oratio

The Hotel is exactly as described on the website. It is a delightful find in the heart of the Latin Quarter. A short walk to Notre Dame and the Seine. We were able to walk to the Luxembourg Gardens, Gardens de Tularies, and the Eiffel Tower in about an hour total. Also easy access to the bus lines and trains made travel very easy when our feet needed a rest. The staff was fantastic and so welcoming. Some spoke English fluently, some brokenly, but between their English and our broken French we were able to get along well. The breakfast buffet in the mornings is wonderful! Coffee, juice , breads and pastries, cheeses and meats, delicious yogurt, etc... a remarkable bargain to start off each day. Right across the street from the hotel is a lovely little market selling very acceptable wine at a VERY reasonable cost, to wind down each evening. When we come back to Paris, this will absolutely be our go to hotel destination!! The rooms are small, yes, but that is Europe. American travelers are used to the relatively gargantuan rooms at Holiday Inn and Hampton Inns ... thats not the European way. The bed was very comfortable, temperature control was good. The bathroom was clean, the hot water was plentiful and the water pressure was good. All in all a very nice stay! Our daughter, who is something of a world traveler for her work, declared this hotel an "incredible value"...one that she will look to stay in on future trips to Paris.

Hotel Oratio is a hidden gem, the pictures match up to the hotel. The interior is lovely, clean and neat you genuinely can’t go wrong with this place especially with the amazing location and staff! Theres lots of food places and metro stations near by and a short walk by the river straight to the Notre-Dam. I notified the staff that it was a special occasion for my partner and I , they kindly presented petals and heart balloon on the bed. Even the cafe downstairs and their toilets are super cute. The elevator is quite tiny but i guess thats Parisian life, it only fits 2 people and 2 small luggages which worked for my partner and I to be honest. I like that they have a sustainable system of providing glass bottles so you can come fill up filtered water for your room whenever you want , you have access to coffee and tea, and of course there is good free wifi to join. The staff are available around the clock, the lobby is super cosy and they are always happy to help with questions about anything. Room service cleaned up our bed, didn’t touch anything else and took all our wet towels or rubbish nicely (some places don’t even do this) I would definitely stay here again if i was ever back in Paris!

Great location in the St. Germain area. Very comfy bed for 2 people. A great amount of space for a couple of nights stay with enough floor space to lay luggage and suitcases down. Also such a cute view out of the little balcony. We had a view of the church across the world and the Parisian apartments directly opposite.

Perfect location, close to almost every attraction in Paris. Great neighborhood surrounded by many great restaurants and bakeries.

I think the staff is what really makes this hotel shine, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The hotel has a (very) small elevator, but totally funcional to get you to the room. Wifi here was great, you could stream Netflix without issues. They offer all the free cold still/sparking water and Nespresso coffee in the ground floor and even a small glass bottle in your room to refill all you want. I thought that was a nice touch, not a lot of hotels offer this. The bed was OK, our was a queen.
