Familia Hôtel(Familia Hotel)

I found myself in Paris on a work trip and added a few days to the journey. I don't spend much time in my room when I travel and like to venture about on foot. My travel agent asked me to check out Hotel Familia for her and it did not disappoint. Reasonably priced basic hotel in a GREAT neighborhood. It is in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne, so it has something of the vibe of an American college town: Lots of restaurants and bars, easy walking, and a fun little shop or 2. Metro close by. 10 minute walk from Notre Dame. I booked a single so the room was tiny and I can't speak to the size of others but it's quite old so am guessing most rooms are small. It's a 2-star hotel, which means no concierge or bar or lounge, but I had a boiler for coffee and a room safe so was fine. I do hope Wilson (Wilton?) the delightful desk clerk stays forever: He was very friendly and helpful, knew the area, and was fun to chat with. I moved to the very-American airport Hilton the night before I flew home and while the room was larger and the place better appointed, I missed the Hotel Familia. I would return to this hotel.

Spent one night (2 days) in Paris. The room given to us was clean and comfortable and had a little terrace with a table and 2 chairs. Closest metro was Cardinal Lemoine 3 mins walk and there's a bakery just opposite the hotel where we got croissants etc. As we arrived early we left our bag at the hotel reception (staff were polite and helpful). There's a bus stop on the other side of the road - around 150 m to the left of the hotel called Maubert mutualite where we took bus 86 (Champs de Mars) to tour eiffel - you get up at the last stop. Getting back is a bit trickier- bus stop on the other side of the road where we got off but we stopped too early - I think it should have been Monge instead of Maubert. We then had a 10-15 mins walk back to the hotel. Walking distance to Notre Dame de Paris which was still under renovation- until December 2024 we were told. Also walked to Louvres and tuileries gardens from Notre Dame.

The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel itself is beautiful. This is a historic building, so although old, it is well maintained and has all the charm of buildings well crafted long ago. The rooms are small, but the beds are comfortable and the bathroom newly renovated. I loved the location within walking distance of Notre Dame cathedral. Highly recommend! I will return.

Amazing little hotel Clean comfortable quiet Balcony Fridge Bathroom great Stones throw from bakery and shop Cafes and bars along the street Will definitely use again Staff fantastic. 5 star

The Familia is a great 2 star hotel. In the 5th Arrondissement, located in a good spot in the Latin Quarter of Paris. It is only about 650 yards away from Notre Dame cathedral and quite close to the Sorbonne University, it has access to both Metro stations and bus routes within a short distance. There are also quite a few restaurants nearby. The hotel has comfortable smallish rooms and offers an adequate continental breakfast. Its staff ore very friendly and there is a limited amount of parking available in a nearby secure underground car park. This can be booked in advance and must be paid for on arrival with a refundable cash deposit. We found our short stay at this hotel really very pleasant and would certainly stay there again when next in Paris.
