Select Hotel - Rive Gauche 

This is such a lovely hotel, perfectly located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, in a safe area of Paris, close to Luxemburg Gardens, Pantheon, Sorbonne, St Michel, Cluny Museum, etc I had a "small double". It would be a tight squeeze for two people, but perfect for one. Lovely renovated room, with sparkling modern bathroom and powerful, easy-to-operate shower with copious hot water. Coffee machine in room. Daily efficient room servicing The staff at reception are exceptional---so warm and welcoming, always a smile, always willing to help. Walking into the hotel as a guest is a lovely experience Breakfast cost €16 . There was a cheese board, a charcuterie board, different breads, plus croissants, cakes, honey, natural yoghurts, chopped fruit in juice, cereals, tea, selection of coffees, etc Two minutes from the hotel (going towards Rue Soufflot) is a little shop where you can pick up water and fruit, etc One point : I was flying home from Orly Airport. I decided to use a taxi, as all the online information said there was a strictly-enforced fixed rate of €36 for a taxi from the Left Bank of the city to Orly airport. Which seemed like good value to me. The hotel called me a taxi. The journey to the airport was fast in light traffic. It took less than a half hour. Imagine my surprise when I was charged €60 for the trip. It appears that the taxis the hotel engages have a fixed rate of €55 So be warned. On the other hand, if you fly into Charles de Gaulle Airport, you can take the RER Line B directly from the airport to the Luxemburg stop. The stop is two minutes from the hotel. Very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for its charming, helpful and welcoming staff. I had a lovely stay in the Select.
