Bottom Line
Located on a historic island in the Seine River, Hotel Saint-Louis en l’Isle is a mid-range property in a central location that's convenient for exploring the city. The 20 modern rooms are small, but elegant, with charming oak ceiling beams as well as an array of modern comforts like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi; travelers should note, however, that street noise might be an issue in some rooms. Breakfast is served in a stone vaulted basement dining room, but it requires a fee; the in-room goodies and coffee/tea facilities, however, are free. An alternative option is the Holiday Inn Paris - Notre Dame, a modern chain hotel with swanky decor.

This charming hotel has interiors that mix elegant antiques with rustic exposed oak beams and stone walls.
Hotel Saint-Louis en l’Isle is housed in a pretty, five-story corner building with decorative Juliet balconies adorning its facade.
