Hôtel Jean Bart

Very very poor Amenities - no shampoo/ conditioner, no hair dryer, no cups( I went to ask to get it ). room clean- First nite- not making a bed -never had this crazy experience. No front desk staff- many occasions- waiting for long time, not able to contact front desk - no tel. No sofa in the lobby. No high tech. Only location and quietness are good.

Super!

This was a charming small boutique hotel in the residential 6th a. Location was wonderful with 3 excellent restaurants 1-2 blocks away. Small market with excellent produce and baguettes across the street. My room was perfect with a large balcony. Need to bring own body lotion and shampoo. Liquid soap provided. Breakfast available but just basic. Staff was very helpful. I would stay again.

Nice small hotel in excellent location

Very central spot.

Fantastic hotel and such lovely people! Very convenient to lots of attractions.

Personnel helpful. A/C limited during heat wave. Did not change towels or make bed in second day of stay. Bathroom modern and room simple but nicely decorated.

Convenient location Close to Jardin Luxembourg and everything in the 6th/ Saint Germain area. Lovely old Parisian building Rooms are fine and clean Lobby a bit tired and old.

The hotel was charming and the customer service was great. Small rooms with no ac, but windows that open and it was absolutely fine for a May visit. Warmer months may be slightly uncomfortable without AC, however we had no issue. They have a strange process where you give your keys to the front desk when you leave which made me uneasy at first but it was absolutely fine. Area is wonderful - right across the street from a grocery store, 5 mins to Luxembourg gardens, and 3 metro stops within a 10 minute walk. Great experience!!

Great little hotel, central to many tourist attractions. Very friendly and amenable staff - good price for location, basic but JUST what I was looking for!

Good quiet location

Reception staff always very helpful.

I’m disappointed by my stay. The room was dusty, uncomfortable , no air conditioning. One of the nights I asked for ice and the employee brought it with his bare hands instead of s bucket. It is way overpriced for what you get.

I had a very nice stay at Hotel Jean Bart. The staff was very nice and professional. They even tried to help me locate a luggage store after my bag handle broke before my flight from San Francisco, California USA to Paris. The basic breakfast was just enough and the room was nice and quiet with a clean, updated bathroom. The shower head had the most pressure I have ever seen in a hotel.

The dirties hotel room I’ve ever had. Definitely will not recommend this hotel. Their breakfast buffet is ridiculous for an almost $200 a night you can get bread, boil egg,Or cereals. The room is super dirty when we arrived on our first day there is tooth pick underneath the bed and we stayed 3 nights and that same toothpick never got pick up so it’s probably still there. The room probably hasn’t been clean for a year because of the dust coming out underneath the bed and on top of desk and bathroom sink is unebelievable. The lady crew was giving you mean look when we got there for the first morning eating breakfast. They only provide shower gel so you better bring your shampoo and hair conditioner. They didn’t even provide no wash cloth just towel that smell funky. This is definitely an Old, stale, filthy and dirty hotel. The place seems never gets clean and no air circulation in the room.

Every was very helpful

Really enjoyed my stay in this hotel in the heart of Paris. Hotel is pretty simple. And the room is not most modern. But it has everything we need for our stay. The staffs are friendly and room is pretty big for Paris. Most important, it is very quiet, and there is not a lot of people or tourists on this street. It is very close to many restaurants, local markets and metro lines. Definitely one of my favorites stays in Paris.

Excellent location and value. Basic hotel but not if your looking luxury.

This was our first visit to Paris and we chose this hotel based on Rick Steves recommendation. From the moment we arrived we felt extremely welcome ….. the staff was wonderfully kind and very pleasant. The location of the hotel is in a nice area and within walking distance of all the major tourist sites. Plenty of cafes and bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel is small and has smaller rooms …. But it is very clean, very modern, and yet very quaint. They serve a nice breakfast in the morning that is included with your stay. Overall ….. just a very nice place to stay. We highly recommend this hotel.

The room was a decent size, good shower and elevator

Wanted a lovely, old, quaint, classic Paris hotel... and that's what this was! Staff and service were very attentive and helpful... spoke English too. The continental breakfast was extensive and delicious. We appreciated them allowing us to take our breakfast items to-go when we had early tours. Location is perfect for walking to many destinations - or to public transportation and a lovely park - the Luxembourg Gardens. Can't wait to go back.

Very nice good location

I've searched over the last 30 years for a quiet, affordable, convenient hotel in central Paris. This was all of those things, plus comfortable and friendly. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nice stay with the family. Warm rooms and great water pressure in the winter.

We spent 5 days here, loved this old style hotel with its tiny elevator and giant windows. Rooms aren't big but bathrooms are new and spacious. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Area was safe and quiet, plenty of wonderful dining options nearby. Excellent location for exploring Paris on foot or bicycle.

This quaint old hotel was perfectly situated across from small grocery store and right next to beautiful Luxembourg Gardens.

No frills hotel, with pleasant service and decent location. Clean and comfortable rooms, plus the usual add-ons. Also, space to store our bicycles overnight, which was a real bonus.

Small hotel w/ basic amenities. Staff is very personable and happy. Very helpful w/ directions. Very good hospitality. Rooms are quiet/location more of a family- neighborhood so very quiet at night in general.

Great location on a quiet street. Close to restaurants and Jardins du Luxembourg. Staff very friendly. Great breakfast! It started at 7am which was perfect for the day we were flying out. Many good options! Decor outdated. Would absolutely stay there again!

This place needs serious updating.

Older hotel, quiet area. Convenient grocery store across the street.

Cute boutique hotel with accommodating staff. My wife and I stayed 3 nights during our honeymoon to explore the area around the Jardin du Luxembourg. We did stay during some street construction occurring right in front of the hotel, which was jarring to wake up to before 7am. The front desk relocated us from first to fourth floor which helped, but with no air conditioning we had to keep the windows open in the summer to stay cool, and the street construction crews were just carelessly loud each morning. All things considered I would recommend this hotel due to the staff's flexibility and kindness, the comfort/cleanliness of the room, and the proximity to the Jardin, Pantheon, and other nearby attractions.

Super clean, committed with customer service even with late check in

Great hotel good price. Mattress wasnt the best otherwise everything perfect

Nice place to stay.

Safe and affordable. Good neighborhood Good value for price. A bit tired and without any amenities. I got a slight shock when I plugged in my travel charger, even running into the phone when it had already been disconnected All of the staff were friendly amd very helpful.

Good and comfortable

Really nice, friendly hotel. Good value and a great location. Very comfortable.

Brilliant 3 nights at this hotel, lovely staff, room, bathroom. As a coeliac (GF) the breakfast wasn't very suitable (same as the vast majority hotels) although yoghurt, cheese and ham is available. However the location, 2 minutes walk to Judy café and Le Pont Traversé both of which supply fully gluten free menus make this the perfect location - along with the wonderful Jardin Du Luxembourg nearby.

Very good.

Friendly and helpfully

Very friendly and accommodating staff, excellent location close to Luxembourg Garden, Bulvard Saint Germaine, Monparnass, Sorbonne and more. The supermarket entrance right by the hotel downstairs. Many restaurants and money exchange nearby. Good continental breakfast was included in our stay which was very convenient. Great private shower and a little balcony in the room.

Good value

Staff at the property was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. A good value.

This is the worst hotel I ever stayed in in decades of travel for work and pleasure halfway around the world. They lost my key with no apologies when they found it. They forgot my wakeup call. You only get one towel. They don’t clean the rooms but ask you to open the windows instead. Total amateur is my kindest description

Tres propre, bon petit déjeune, ambiance agréable. Belle petite place à bon prix. Seul bémol... le wifi est très faible... en 2024 ce n'est plus un "nice to have" c'est essentiel!

The front desk staff was very kind and the room was clean and beautiful. There is a supermarket right in front of the hotel, which was very convenient.

Lovely little hotel in a brilliant location - small room but largely comfortable apart from the lumpy pillows on the bed

Nice, clean,

We are still trying to figure out how this hotel rates 4+ stars in anyone’s guide. The room was like a glorified dorm room, with a shower too small for an adult to use. The soap dispenser in the shower ran out of soap and was not refilled. There was no hair dryer in the room — and no plug-in w/in 10 feet of a mirror. When we asked for tissues for our room, we were directed to a communal box in the lobby, from which we were invited to extract what we needed. We loved Paris but, in the midst of a trip that has taken us from Vienna to Amsterdam, this Paris hotel was definitely the low point.

Nice room, clean and quiet. good location

I liked this hotel. It was close to attractions and cheap enough with a clean, modern bathroom. The bathroom was recently renovated so it looks completely different than the rest of the room, which was quite dated. We had an issue with checking out. The individual working there in the morning didn't really speak English she tried to charge us in full when we'd already paid up-front on Hotels.com. I showed my receipt and even my bank statement where the money was credited on the day of booking, but she had no idea about it. She didn't even know that Hotels.com was a part of Expedia. We ended up not paying the balance then, but we agreed to come back in the evening since we were to leave our bags and speak with the manager in charge. I ended up calling Hotels.com customer service to tell them about the issue, and to ask them to confirm with the hotel that we were only to pay the tourist tax, and they took care of it. If we had been in a hurry to check out, this would have been a huge problem.

Bedroom and hotel reception looked a little dated but were spotlessly clean. The bathroom was modernly decorated with a nice powerful shower and there was a kettle in the room and fans that we weren’t expecting. Stayed with my teenage daughter and the hotel and surrounding area felt very safe and the staff were all very friendly. Loved that their was a couple of small supermarkets across the road and its close proximity to the beautiful Luxembourg gardens and St Germaine and Notre Dame. It was also only five mins walk to Metro and bus stops to get to rest of city and felt perfectly safe walking back from them late at night. Had a wonderful time in Paris and would highly recommend hotel if you are in a budget as its a lovely area to stay.

Close to city park and several restaurants, coffee shops and patisserie shops.

Location is good. Walking distance to transportation and shopping. Nice to stroll along the area. We walked to the Louvre museum.

Property getting renovations, quite noisy at times during day. Construction dust occurring. Staff pleasant. Our room aged but functional. Bathroom tight, sink hard to use. Mattress comfortable, but not soft. Grocery across street got early morning deliveries. Otherwise quiet, residential one way street.

This small hotel is in a nice location, only a couple of blocks from the Luxembourg Gardens, metro stops, etc. There is a grocery store across the street. There is no air conditioning, so the building was warm in July, but a fan was provided and opening windows cooled off the room at night. Wifi was okay but not fast.

Amazing place and location

Excellent location, close to Luxemberg Garden, very quiet and safe. Room clean. Breakfast can be improved. Espresso/Cappuccino not fresh.

Close to Luxembourg Gardens and RER stop, as well as Metro stops.

Good location. Clean and spacious room. Adequate elevator

There is a mini market in front it was useful. To Eiffel tower is a 40 min walk but transportation is near by. Staff was friendly. Room was nice.

Very happy with our stay at Hotel Jean Bart. Room was small but very clean and decorated nicely. Don’t let the lobby and halls discourage you - they have nice rooms. Great location. Staff is very nice.

So lovely. The people were kind and helpful. Perfect easy breakfasts in the morning. Highly recommend for the simple traveler.

Nice small hotel in a quiet neighborhood near the train and many bus options. Grocery store right across the street for all your needs. You can walk to many great places within 20 minutes. Tons of restaurants within 10 minute walk. I think my room was recently remodeled so it was nice. Rooms are typical big city Europe size--pretty small. I do not think this place has AC so be aware if you stay there in the summer. Breakfast was pretty simple so you can skip paying for that and just go to one of the many coffee shops in the area. WiFi was great.

Just simple, friendly, and in a great spot!

Very traditional French style community and close to Luxembourg park. Walking distance to Louvre and many famous sites.

Nice lovely hotel. Will back again.

Little very cute hotel. Simple but was confortable. The hotel is located in a nice quarter of Paris and it is very quiet.

A great place to stay. The room picture does not do this hotel justice. Mine was clean, contemporary and quiet. Breakfast was good. Situated within easy walks of two Metro lines, the Palais de Luxembourg and small cafes.

What a gem of a hotel I stayed with 2 of my daughters for 3 nights. We found the hotel very clran and comfortable in a quiet location, but neat shops and cafes and the metro. Its typically a french quirky building with spiral stairs that are served by a small lift to every floor. We enjoyed the large windows with a juilette balconies unlike the usual generic hotels with fixed windows. The breakfast was delicious and staff very friendly. We will visit again.

Convenient to bus & metro. Nearby cafes & beautiful Luxembourg garden. Hotel Jean Bart was our first choice for a return trip to Paris!

The Hotel Jean Bart is very much a "you get what you pay for" situation. The owners and staff are so friendly and so very helpful that I wish I could give it a 5-star review, but the linens, bedding, and carpet just need a serious upgrade. When your 7-year-old says, "Daddy, someone spilled spaghetti on the bed" the minute you walk into the room, that's ... not a great sign. We removed the bedding immediately, to say the least. None of this is meant to suggest that the hotel is unclean. It's not. The maintenance is no worse than any other hotel. It just needs an update and some amenity investment. It's a wonderful neighborhood, easily walkable to the Luxembourg Gardens and multiple metro and bus stops. At the end of the day, would I stay again? Why, yes, I would. The price is right. The location is great. The staff means well. But ... The quality of the room itself needs some work. I would hope that the owners just put a little money back into their business in 2023. Buy some new blankets. Update the fixtures. That's all.

This place is in desperate need of renovation. The location is very good, near Luxembourg Gardens and metro stations, the staff is friendly but it has definitely seen better days.

Nice and quiet location

We liked having breakfast available at 7am, as we found it difficult to find cafes that were open early in France. The location was good; we were able to walk or hop on the subway to get wherever we needed to go. It was a great option at a reasonable price.

I have stayed at the hotel Jean-Bart before. When I got there this time, they said that my room wasn't available because it had a plumbing problem. So they put me in a hotel around the corner. That was a little disconcerting, but it turned out just fine because the hotel around the corner was very nice.

The rooms were ok. Ours came with a towel warmer which was nice, cleaned regularly and the staff was friendly. However breakfast that was included was croissants and baguettes everyday - same meal for your entire stay.

I loved this hotel. It is a three minute walk from the Luxembourg gardens and has everything around you needed—grocery store across the street literally which I used and was handy, a pharmacy around the corner, and a wonderful bakery called La Parisienne a couple blocks away. Great walking area near the church of St. Sulpice. The owners of the hotel are so friendly and helpful. Check-in was so smooth. As far as amenities, there was everything in the room I needed. I asked for a hair dryer at the desk and got it. Loved the fact that it has been family run for years. Very clean. Yes,I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

It was a small boutique hotel, and very quiet. The con is that it is old and elevator broke down our last night, and I had to carry our luggage 4 flights of spiraling narrow stairs. Yet I would stay there again, if elevator was working

A family feel, I was very comfortable

Great location, lots of Paris within walking distance. Bathroom was wonderfully renovated and clean, sleeping quarter pretty nice. Only complaint was about the breakfast. It was terrible, only on our last day was there a bit of a baguette and 1 croissant for each person (counted out individually). Otherwise some dry crackers and small packages of the cheapest of the cheap. Would it be so hard to have daily baguette, and maybe a bit of fruit, natural yoghurt and/or cheese? Staff was a bit elusive, but friendly. they let us check out late on the last day, which was very helpful.

Very good value, clean and quiet. Recommended but - don’t smoke right outside the entrance!!

Excellent location. Quiet small street behind the wonderful Luxembourg Park. Supermarket, bakery, restaurants, metro, all nearby. Stayed with wife and son while I worked 25min walking distance. A basic 2 stars hotel that we all would definitely stay again.

Not clean , no service .... just bad and ugly

Staff was very welcoming and the breakfast was nice and light. I would definitely stay here again.

Centrally located in pairs easy in and out to everything. Nice little grocery store straight across the street.

Great location for the price. They went out of their way to accommodate us for a late breakfast. Very friendly and great service.

Hotel Jean Bart is simply a gem, located two blocks from the Luxembourg Garden. It's quiet. My bed was comfy. The bathtub had water so hot I used it to make instant coffee.It's a few block from a Metro stop, and close to many many cafes. What's more, there's a fully stocked grocery store right across the street, where you can squeeze your own orange juice. Nothing fancy, has next-to-no lobby, but is easily the best budget hotel I've ever stayed in in any country. BTW After I made my reservation I was surprised to find that Rick Steves singled it out. Also, it doesn;t have air conditioning, which wasn't a problem at all for me in October, but if you have COPD it might be a problem mid-summer.

Perfect location close to Gare Montparnasse, easy walk to Jardins Luxembourg and Notre Dame. Plenty of shops and eating places close to hand. Super friendly staff.

It was a nice, small hotel but you have everything you need.( lift included). Location was great, walking distance to Musee du Luxembourg and also to St. Michel area. The lady receptionist was very helpful and accomodating. She tried to explain things in English. Plus, you can leave your luggage at the reception when you checked out early. I highly recommend it to my friends and i will definitely come back to this hotel.

Older building but still had good amount of room to move around for 3people sharing. Lovely staff, very helpful. Good location

This is two stars hotel and it is as expected for two stars hotel. Staff are great. Great location within of 15-30 mins walking to most tourist attractions. 5 mins away from RER to airport and to two metro stations. Breakfast is nothing except for good coffee. We had breakfast on the corner of the street in the nice cafe. Two supermarkets on the same street to get water and fresh fruits. You get what you pay for

Fantastic location, quiet room, good bed and shower, and a perfectly simple, very French breakfast to set you up for the day. Big fan of Hotel Jean Bart.

The hotel was perfect for our stay. We needed a family three-bed room and ours was on the fifth floor with a great view. The bathroom was tiny but it was clean. We wanted to see Paris and the hotel was in the perfect spot. Close to the metro, the RER line to CDG, opposite a small supermarket and Luxembourg Gardens. The staff were friendly and helpful. My grandson has already said he wants to stay there next time we visit Paris.

STAFF WAS WONDERFUL. KIND ,HELPFUL,DID THIER BEST IN SPEAKING ENGLISH TO HELP US. GREAT LOCATION WE WALKED TO LOUVRE MUSEUM AND MANY OTHER LOCATIONS. TRAIN WITHIN WALKING DESTAINS. ONLY THING BAD NEED A SHOWER CURTAIN, SHOWER WATER ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Super location. Short walk from the Luxumburg Gardens

Location is close to everything. However, room is not comfortable. Service is poor.

Good location had free computer breakfast good staff friendly

Wonderful and convenient location. Staff is very helpful. Nice breakfast. Very reasonable price for this location.
