Hotel Esmeralda

4 rue Saint-Julien Le Pauvre, Paris, France 75005

Really traditional, old and authentic hotel. We absolutely loved it! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Fantastic location in Paris.

Didn’t dislike anything, even though it is a very old building it could do with a some TLC.

Della

location excellent; view superb; room comfortable

Matthew

Just what I was after. Perfect location in the shadow of Notre Dame. Characterful building. Friendly staff. Choice of rooms. Incredibly easy check in. Wasn't paying for facilities that I wouldn't have used anyway on a short trip.

Second pillow would have been nice.

George

No breakfast available. Cafe nearby.

Linda

Location is superb. Design is funky and unique. Reasonably priced for the insanely good location.

The secretary desk in my room had a broken handle and wouldn’t open. No view whatsoever (window went to a small interior cubby with gardening tools)

Elena

Fabulous location with view of Notre Dame

Rooms very basic and only really acceptable in a city like Paris for this price.

Rupert

lovely room, individually decorated with so many attentive and special details. and when you’re done discovering the room and find time to look out the window, you find the prettiest view of notre dame! i was in love!

took some time to get in our room. check in was delayed multiple times but the staff handled it very friendly so i don’t want to complain to much. bed isn’t the biggest but comfy regardless.

Kristin

A quaint historic property in a brilliant location. The warm greeting by staff was so welcoming. Will come back.

Greg

Excellent location and the staff, and manager, were all extremely lovely.

The carpets were a bit dirty and the bathroom smelt odd. The room could have also benefited with a few small extras like a Kettle or a bin.

Varsha

Amazing location and nice people.

Everything was fine

Katarzyna

I booked this place for its extraordinary location and wasn't disappointed. Tiny, basic room with comfortable bed, hot water, decent wifi, and relatively quiet.

Some people may regard the worn wallpaper and shabby paintwork as chic grunge. For me it was just grunge that could do with a facelift.

Stephen

central location, close to metro and clean basic room

no elevator, didn’t got the room with a view that I booked here (they said it was an error). They only offered me that room if I paid a supplement…

Champoun

This is a special hotel with a unique atmosphere of the old days. lack of an elevator, creaking wooden floors, colorful design, make this hotel the place to tell your friends about. The hotel seems to be haunted. And the gray-haired man at the reception, he is very mysterious

I liked everything

Alena

The owner was incredibly helpful. The location is brilliant - close to everything.

The rooms are somewhat cramped but that is not too much of an issue.

Robyn

amazing 100yo building that is very well maintained

Dian

Proper Parisien feel to it. Quirky. Friendly staff. Comfy beds. Brilliant location! Stone’s throw from Notre Dame, round the corner from the Shakespeare & co bookshop. Next to lots of lovely French bars & restaurants: not by any means all touristy.

It is a bit tatty, but that’s part of the charm.

Graham

Traditional French hotel in an excellent location - can see the Notre damme from your window! Close to the metro and various cafes, also felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Loved the historical features and the tiny winding staircases. Staff were very helpful and spoke English if you need. WiFi was also good.

If you're looking for a modern hotel with modern decor then this is not for you.

Vivien

Staff were so helpful. A small number so you were always welcomed.

Rooms were a little small but comfy and clean. Bed was comfy. Pillows. Place was bijou but the location was amazing.

It's a nice charming hotel right next to the Notre Dame (which you can in fact see out of the window). By no way modern but instead it has quite a unique and charming rustic vibe.

Aleksandra

The location is just perfect ! Best location to visit paris and see the attractions especially for the first visit. The people who work there are super nice and polite.

The bathroom is very small, the bath is not comfortobale at all. The rooms are very old and the stuff is not good.

Summer

LOCATION was ideal and beds were comfortable. great value for location

just a little work would spruce up the place.

Vicki

The staff!!! They were very nice and so helpful!

We knew it was a very affordable place to stay. The stairs were challenging. The bathroom was small. The beds were so comfortable!!

Sandra

it was above my expectations. But one should realize what to expect from old building in old European capital city . And bear in mind value for money balance. Comfortable mattress. People working on reception are cordial and helpful.

Wi fi in rooms was not working on weekend for some technical reason , but this is rather fault of provider . It was available on reception though.
