Hôtel Du Jeu De Paume

The hotel is lovely, the staff very helpful. The air conditioning during this very hot week in Paris was excellent. Location very convenient for access to many tourist attractions, including Notre Dame. As part of the Reunion choral group this past July, there was adequate room for us to sit and talk in the lobby, although a bit more "cooling" would have been appreciated in the lobby.

Such a treat to stay in this historic building. Service was exceptional, comfortable rooms, in a wonderful street of great restaurants and activities. Highly recommend.

I took a stroll through the lobby of this hotel some twenty-five years ago. I had considered it before, but thought it was out of my price range. But we were celebrating a special wedding anniversary and decided that the time had come to book it. Besides, the 3-star hotels had increased their rates so much, that the prices were comparable at this 4-star property. The building is the only Palm Tennis court left standing in Paris, and it is spectacular. Those soaring beamed ceilings and thick stone walls make it a one-of-a-kind property. The staff here is wonderful, and the welcome is warm. The rooms are modern, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast is lovely, and it is served in the atrium with those soaring ceilings. There are many comfortable public spaces where you can relax. The hotel bar was a great place for a glass of champagne before our special dinner. It was quite warm when we were there, although it would get ever hotter a few weeks later. The air conditioning is robust, and our rooms were delightfully cool. You should be aware that the public areas are cooled only with fans. It's more of a problem for the staff than the guests, since the guests can always retreat to their rooms. Thanks to everyone at the Jeu de Paume for making our anniversary so memorable! It really is a very special place.

We just returned from 6 nights at the wonderful Hotel du Jeu de Paume. Once we discovered it, maybe 8 or 9 years ago, we’ve only stayed here. The location is perfect for getting all over the city, either by foot, Metro or taxi. I can’t say enough about how wonderful, kind and helpful the staff is. Elena and David at reception were especially helpful with anything at all we needed. The hotel is charming. We stay in a Superior Double and have plenty of room to sit and chat or watch tv while having a snack from the fromagerie across the street. There’s ample storage. I have no complaints with the bathroom either. Breakfast is plentiful although I missed yogurt with fruit this trip. All in all, we love the Hotel du Jeu de Paume and can’t wait to return!

This is a block from Notre Dame so lots of Paris to experience right outside your door! Staff were so lovely! Enjoyed Champagne on the patio listening to birds sing.

We are so glad we stayed here! The front desk staff were all exceptionally friendly, the room was spacious and clean, and the location was perfect. I'm picky about hotels, and I will definitely stay here again if my travels take me back to Paris.

Friendly place, Great location. We'll be back. Lots of restaurants on the island, no need to go far for good food and great icecream

We stayed in the first floor (3 bedroom) apartment. It is an awesome location! We were able to walk so many places. It's a gorgeous area, and there were several streets to walk where cars are infrequent or not allowed. We had plenty of space for our family, and really appreciated the 2 bathrooms. The historic building was so neat to stay in and that was an experience on its own. The staff was very helpful and kind. But...it was very smelly, (not surprising since it is very old). It was bad enough in one of the rooms that my daughter felt a little ill on waking each morning. The second issue was that the noise was absolutely unbelievable. It's only an issue in one of the bedrooms, which meant that our kids weren't awakened (thank goodness!) But we could hear every conversation from someone in a nearby room (or apartment- we couldn't tell). When they played music, it was almost as if the speakers were in our room, when they were to the bathroom we could hear the details, etc... Additionally, any conversations on the street, or trucks or cars or motorcycles were as if they were in our room. It wasn't a real issue for us, as jet lag meant we could sleep through a lot, but anyone who is a light sleeper should consider it. I should add that the noise was happening when the windows and shutters were totally shut. Overall, we are happy with our choice to stay there. Having the space that we needed while in the center of the city was lovely!

Superb location, comfortable, well-appointed rooms, and a friendly staff.

My husband and I found this hotel online - the description and photos looked wonderful - quiet and in a lovely area of Paris. However it was a big disappointment. We booked a junior suite to give ourselves more space and it was a duplex with two tiny spaces - downstairs a grimy old sofa and bathroom and a narrow spiral staircase up to another tiny space with bed - if you wake up in night to use the bathroom - very scary steep narrow staircase to navigate - and little unfinished dirty area under the stairs. Very SMELLY. The staff were not helpful and finally agreed to move us to a regular room - charging same as suite, which was a little less smelly, but tiny and not so nice. They wouldn't give us refund to move elsewhere. The lobby and breakfast area could have been charming - interesting old beams in high ceilings with cool contemporary art work and decor - but again musty! Breakfast was subpar with food sitting out all mornig - room temp pancakes under a class case all morning, fruit cup in syrup, and really unappealing. BIG disappointment. Very misleading website!

Hi, I had an outstanding stay . The Hotel has the best location, a beautiful building with good taste public locations. there is a wonderful breakfast and outgoing staff.

This place is really nice and you get good value here at a very central and good location. It is not new and crisp, but full of soul and charm

We stayed here for nine days in October and were really happy with our choice. Fantastic central location on the island. The lobby features art and modernist furniture set in the old royal tennis court. The old beams are still visible in the breakfast room. Our superior double room was more spacious than we expected, but the paint was a little worn in places. Value is a relative concept in Paris, so while the Jeu de Paume is not inexpensive, it appears to be good value given it's location and amenities. Our room was off the main street and was very quite. The continental breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choices. The staff throughout the hotel were helpful and friendly. Before we arrived the hotel arranged airport pick-up and drop-off for us and this added positively to our overall experience.

Staying at Hotel Jeu de Paume was one of the highlights of my time in Paris. The moment I walked in, I felt like I had discovered a hidden treasure. The hotel’s blend of history and modern comfort is perfection: exposed beams, elegant design, and rooms that feel quite luxurious. The staff couldn’t be kinder or more attentive. Every person I met made me feel genuinely welcome, and their attention to detail was exceptional - Including walking me to the ATM I had missed on my walk about the neighborhood. (Not to mention they also have a very friendly dog running about the place.) The location is unbeatable: tucked away on Île Saint-Louis, just steps from Notre-Dame. It is blissfully quiet at night, and rare to find such tranquil place in the heart of Paris. I highly recommend this jewel!

Very expensive for the quality of the room. It's all about the location, which was great! It is certainly a unique experience but I would not stay there again.

The staff and the hotel are great. The staff was very helpful with recommendations, transportation questions, and overall questions about the city. We were leaving Paris the day of a transportation strike and the staff was so helpful in guiding us away from areas that may be affected. The hotel is located in a nice area on a quiet street. Walking distance to Notre Dame and many restaurants. It is a little bit of a walk to the nearest Metro line, but that is a minor inconvenience. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Paris!

Beautiful setting with historic features steps from Michelin star restaurants, art galleries, and cafes. A stones throw from Notre Dame and premiere shopping in downtown Paris. Easy access to dinner cruises on the Seine and museums of Paris. The island setting in the middle of the Seine is quiet and still right in the heart of the action. Hospitable staff. 5 ⭐️

Great location for exploring Paris. It was an easy walk to the Metro, restaurants and sopping. Staff was wonderful and helpful with any needs or questions. Guests get a good authentic Parisian experience from this Hotel.

The hotel is located in a perfect area. Notre Dame, the Saint Michel area on one side of the I'le, the Marais on the other side. Cafes, restaurants out the front door. The staff at the hotel was friendly, and always helpful. We loved the place.

We stayed in the Hotel du Jeu de Paume for 4 nights in July. The hotel is wonderful with excellent staff and service. Arctique the dog was always ready to play and our kids loved the holiday. The location is quiet and beautiful and it’s a perfect position for seeing the city. We look forward to coming back and recommend highly. CMB

The hotel was great, these staff exceptional and the location perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat

location was great but the walls were thin and we could hear people yelling - also so hot in the summer

Great location, friendly, beautiful.

Beautiful and very clean property in the heart of Paris. Full of character and very Parisian! Quiet rooms and a wonderful customer service. Brilliant location close to it all!

Nice room, great location, lovely staff! I will be coming back in the future. I was a solo female traveler in my late 30s, and I felt very safe and taken care of. Paris had a heat wave during my week-long visit, and I was particularly grateful of the A/C in my room!

Wonderful, friendly staff. Large room, great location. Highly recommend!

I love this hotel! The building was built in the 1600’s. The staff was wonderful, the hotel was warm and inviting, and the resident puppy was fun to play with! Who doesn’t love a puppy! The lobby was very inviting to just have a respite and view the books and the art. We didn’t have breakfast there, but the buffet looked very good. We’ll be back!

A great option, comfortable, clean kind service!

We loved this charming and quirky hotel in this impressive historic building, away from all the crowds, on the peaceful Ile St Louis. It’s close enough to interesting restaurants and shops, and a metro station, without being near the touristy bustle of Paris. Lovely staff, perfect location, comfy bed, and the excitable Lemon (now departed) made it feel like a home. We will return 😊

Wonderful location for exploring Ile Saint Louis. Minutes from Notre Dame and Marais. Walk out the door to restaurants and cafes

This hotel is a gem in the middle of everything.

Fantastic location and superb staff. The room is well made and has everything you need. I only recommend improving the bed, pillows and size of bathroom.

Staff is wonderful. Bathroom had a very bad musky smell. The bed was uncomfortable. The flushing mechanism on the toilet did not work well. The breakfast was passable.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hotel is in an historic building that has its own special charm which was maintained but comfort wasn’t sacrificed. It was in a great location - we could walk easily to many of Paris’ famous locations or catch the metro to further ones, but what we loved most about the location was walking out the front door and being in a vibrant street full of restaurants and shops keeping its charm of cobbled streets, medieval buildings and quirky businesses. Being on a small island, it was a lovely stroll to the river on all sides.

L'hotel Jeu de Paume is a great place to stay, and I highly recommend it to any and all travelers in Paris.

We stayed in supposedly one of the best rooms. Walk along run down hall to a tiny room then up a narrow internal timber staircase, difficult to negotiate during the night as the bathroom is down stairs. Step into the bath shower and very slippery bath surface, plus the hairdryer shorted and gave me a shock. Needs a good overhaul

Hotel very nice and clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Location very close to Notre-Dame.

Hotel very close to Notre-Dame Cathedral, staff very friendly and helpful, many very good restaurants with in walking distance

⭐ 1-Star Review Extremely Disappointing Experience at Hôtel du Jeu de Paume I had a deeply disappointing experience during my recent stay at this hotel—one that should have been a minor issue but was grossly mishandled by staff and management. A simple misunderstanding over two bottles of water (€5) turned into a confrontational and unprofessional incident, despite my offer to return the items or have them charged to my room. What should have been discreetly resolved became an escalating situation, fueled by defensive and aggressive behavior from the staff—including being physically confronted by bell staff, which is absolutely unacceptable. Despite paying €550 per night, I was treated with suspicion and hostility rather than the respectful, attentive service any guest should expect. Management failed to take responsibility, choosing instead to deflect blame and dismiss my concerns. Additional issues: • Inconsistent housekeeping and lack of replenished amenities • Staff needing repeated reminders for basic services • Zero accountability from leadership, even after voicing concerns After 40 years of global travel and over 2 million miles, I’ve stayed at more than a thousand hotels—and I have never encountered such immature, combative guest relations. Hospitality is about knowing when to listen, how to de-escalate, and treating guests with dignity. This hotel failed on all counts. Unless meaningful changes are made to how staff handle conflict and customer care, I cannot recommend this hotel. There are too many wonderful places to stay in Paris—this should not be one of them.

Love this place, accommodated all our needs. Friendly staff and very convenient location near Notre Dame, The Maris and St Germain des Pres.

The best experience in Paris. We always try for Hotel de laPaune . It make the Paris experience so much better

The location of this hotel was straight out of a storybook. The staff are helpful and pleasant. The historic building is really special.

Issues to note: Room 104 has toilet in separate room without sink. Typical of European facilities. Had problems with room lights not working and noisy, squeaky interior doors. Could hear people in next room. Notre Dame will be undergoing repairs for many years to come. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Cathedral. The hotel is on a quaint street with many nice restaurants and shops. Great staff at reception.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel du Jeu de Paume. First, we were greeted by helpful staff and shown to our comfortable, quiet, charming, nicely appointed room. Second, the hotel itself has such historic charm. The interior atrium space is so striking with its old wood beams and comfortable seating areas. We didn't buy the breakfast (though it looked great), but we enjoyed grabbing some coffee and pastries nearby and just sitting in the lobby. Third, we loved our room. We were in room 202 with high ceilings, beams, and plenty of space. It was quiet and comfortable. Finally, Île Saint-Louis is such a great location. I've stayed in the Marais twice and now Île Saint-Louis twice and I think Île Saint-Louis is perfect. You're on an island in the Seine where you can walk to the Left Bank, the Marais, Notre Dame, multiple metro stops, and the RER within a few minutes, and yet it's pretty quiet at night. Thanks for a great stay, Hotel du Jeu de Paume!

For location and service Hotel du Jeu de Paume was exceptional and we had a lovely stay at the establishment

We have traveled extensively and this hotel is among the best we've encountered at any price. The staff, the room, the location, the ambience and everything else about this hotel was first rate.

Amazing interior with exposed beams dating from 1700s. Clean rooms, very helpful and lovely staff.

Stayed few times but a little incident threw me off on my last stayed to have need schooled by a women at the front desk with an insulting tone of voice over a bottle of water I request and suggested I went to the corner to store to by one when they

My wife and I love our stay at Hotel du Jeu de Paum. Everything we wanted to do in Paris was walkable. The street that the hotel is on is quiet and quaint. The staff was gracious and helpful. The room was great for our needs, and the bed was super comfortable. We really could not have asked for anything more. This was our first time in Paris so we had to guess where to stay based on recommendations. Hotel du Jeu de Paum was an excellent choice.

Hotel du Jeu de Paume feels more like a Bed & Breakfast than a hotel. Comfortable room with ample space. Very cozy lobby. The location on a quaint street on the island Ile Saint-Louis on the Seine has sufficient galleries, shops, restaurants and cafes to keep you busy, while being well situated to get anywhere in the city. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great atmosphere and design. Friendly staff and great dog to greet in a friendly way.

The suite was cramped. Check in was chaotic . I have previously stayed at the hotel and standards have slipped.

Great place to stay!

This is a great small charming hotel in the heart of Paris. Friendly staff AND Location is excellent.

Loved the location and the sweet staff. Close to great restaurants and stores!!!

Really enjoyed our second stay at the hotel.

EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL STAFF, SERVICE, AND LOCATION.

Staff really friendly. Small historic family hotel. Great location. Breakfast only average though. No access to spa unless pay extra. Still 5 stars though overall and would definitely stay again.

Great location, welcoming staff, wonderful ambiance. Central but quiet location, walking distance from everything.

Staff is super nice. Location is A

A beautiful hotel in a phenomenal location and everyone was so nice! I can't wait to go back. Magical experience

LOVE this hotel & will definitely be back!

It’s a beautiful hotel tucked away on the Ile St Louis so close to everything and yet literally on it’s own island. The staff were wonderful, and no better place from which to explore Paris walking as we did.

Best staff, do not believe any negative comments of Parisians. All of the people working here are absolutely professional and kind.

A beautiful hotel in an historic building, close to so many sites and transportation, comfortable and quiet, first class service: Perfect in every way!

First time at this hotel. Amazing is the word. Loved the preserved architecture of the building, yet the room was fully modernized. PERFECT location. I'lle De Saint Louis is quiet, yet steps across a bridge to everything wonderful about Paris. The room was very pretty, great bathroom, bed was super comfortable. The lobby is charming and even has a resident dog (Lemon). The lift is big enough for 2 plus luggage. Didn't get to try breakfast. Staff was super nice and professional.

Very unique building, stunningly converted into a modern, comfortable hotel.

Perfect to see Notre Dame. The street had wonderful shops and restaurants. We spend most of the day exploring the Left Bank. Rooms were comfortable and nice size. The first floor had glass doors to open to a courtyard.

Wonderful people and service. Clean and straightforward. No fancy frills. And location is ideal. Price/value relationship is excellent.

I’ve always wanted to stay on Ile Saint-Louis and this hotel didn’t disappoint: it was quite quirky but remained a good choice for business travel, and the location couldn’t have been more central.

Great, quiet, central location for a general sightseeing stay away from the hustle and bustle. The public areas are historic and charming. Very comfortable and relaxing. The staff were very helpful, particularly when we had a small problem which they swiftly rectified. The rooms were clean, comfortable and with high quality linens. I'd agree with some previous comments that the fixtures and fittings could do with a refresh to align with a 4* rating. I'd happily stay again.

The location, facilities, service, and friendliness in the heart of Paris cannot be beat. Jeu de Paume is a jewel of a small boutique hotel on the quiet, refined island of St. Louis. Do yourself a favor and try a small, well run, establishment instead of one of the big, flashy, designer hotels.

This was our seventh stay. The hotel is charming, well located, and the staff is accommodating. The rooms are well-sized for a major city.

Well maintained and great service!

The hotel is not well maintained.What you get doesn’t justified the price

Charming hotel in an amazing neighborhood, front desk staff very helpful and accommodating, rooms are Paris-typically small but have almost everything you need. A 4-star hotel should provide a hair conditioner in the room, which this hotel does not (front desk staff told me that “we usually do not provide conditioner”), but were kind enough to provide us with a conditioning shampoo. Room cleaning staff provided spotty service in that they did not always place in the room coffee packets, sugar or creamer, but being able to make coffee in the room was nice.

The hotel is beautiful, the staff were very accommodating, the location was extremely convenient.

Lovely building with a compelling history. Loved meeting the team at the hotel and Lemon the canine GM made our week. Will come back without a doubt.

Excellent hotel at perfect location

Great location in a rehabbed 1600’s era building.

The staff were very profesional and helpful made us feel welcome,

My family of four had a wonderful time at this hotel. The location was perfect on Ile St Louis which is a short walk to Marais in one direction and the Latin Quarter in the other. The staff were so warm and accommodating. There are so many amazing dining options nearby including a Michelin-starred restaurant (Sergeant Recruiter) across the street and Paris's best ice-cream around the corner (Berthillon). The room was spread over two floors with two bathrooms, so perfect for our family. We have found our go-to hotel when next time we're in Paris.

Beautiful old and quaint hotel. Amazing location as well.

Lovely hotel horrible time to stay there. They should f go ace told us before we got there that they were in a locked down area for the Olympics. Very hard to go anywhere. Terrible

A 17th c building built for playing indoor tennis. Modernized hotel blended with historic beams and features and modern art and architectural features. Lovely, friendly and helpful hosts. Cozy bar and atmosphere for quiet relaxation. We will definitely return!

Excellent location. Nice size rooms. Good breakfast. Pleasant staff.

Great building, great location, relaxed ambience, helpful staff

Hey charming place in the heart of Paris right next to Notre Dame

Shower not great, property is unique with convenient location.

Excellent location. Beautiful decoration Very helpful staff A bit disappointing breakfast though

Everything about the hotel was great. The staff at the desk, and elsewhere, were very kind, friendly and helpful. The design of the lobby is beautiful, and interestingly incorporates the building's historic features, with exposed beams and a cozy fireplace. The room was perfectly clean and pleasant. My only negative note would be that one night some late-arriving guests in the adjoining room were very noisy. It seemed that the only sound barrier was a door between the two adjoining rooms. It was mostly the fault of the inconsiderate guests, but it was unfortunate.

Very old hotel maybe a2 star

Lovely hotel, historic building, modern facilities, quirky in a good way. Location great. Friendly welcoming accommodating staff. Would recommend and would rtn. Oh and very comfy bed.

Excellent property in one of the best locations for visiting Paris--right in the middle of the city!

The staff at the front desk was amazing. Anything you wanted they delivered. My only negative comment is the rooms are small even by Paris standards Great restaurants within a 2 block area.

This is a beautiful hotel in a lovely location. It is clean, quiet and elegant. The only thing I’d change is really minor; in room hot drinks materials are extensive but milk/cream is limited. The hotel manual states that additional items are chargeable - of course I can afford it, but it seems a bit miserable when everything else is so perfect.

The courteous and knowledgeable staff made our stay here even more enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the location. Much quieter that other locations I've stayed in on both the Left and Right banks. Some of the fixtures in the room did not work properly. The wall lights kept blinking rapidly.Turning the light on and off didn't solve it, so the lights had to be turned off.

I was very comfortable in the room tho i had to keep the window open as it was so warm in the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the blackout curtain helped me to get good rest, as I could have the curtain down even with the window open. The shower was fine, tho the ceiling was very low and if I were very tall i would not have been comfortable in the shower. The reception staff was very friendly and able to help with any questions or problems. Breakfast was fine and pretty well rounded with hot foods (scrambled eggs & pancakes); soft-boiled eggs; baguette and croissant; cheeses and meats; yogurts and fruit.

Hotel jeu de paume is an amazing gem in l'ile de st. louis. The location is unbeatable and the hotel is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of.
