Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Du College De France is praised for its prime location on the Left Bank, near the metro, making attractions like the Sorbonne and Notre Dame easily accessible, with some rooms even offering Eiffel Tower views. Guests frequently highlight the great breakfast and modern amenities including tea making facilities and a fridge. While rooms are generally nice and clean, some guests have found them to be on the smaller side, and may lack a closet, offering only a clothes rail instead. many consider it a hotel with lots of character and good value, with several guests expressing their intention to return.

The location is great, right in the latin quarter. rooms were interconnected, a king with shower plus a twin with bath. It worked fine for my family. i walked everywhere and found lots of restaurants nearby. staff were great.
