print this pageThe charming Hotel du College de France has a great location in the Latin Quarter. As the name implies, it's just down the street from the Collège de France. Not surprisingly, the two-star hotel is popular with visiting professor and other studious types.
The hotel has a pleasantly sleepy, country guesthouse feel, although the lobby has a few eclectic surprises (including a cool life-size sculpture of Jeanne d'Arc).
Upstairs, the 29 rooms are simple and homey, sporting functional wardrobes and desks, and matching drapes and bedspreads. There are a few modern touches, such as small flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi access throughout. Black-and-white photos hang in the rooms and hallways. Bathrooms are a bit dated, although they are clean and equipped with hairdryers. We suggest asking for one of the corner rooms, which have two street-side windows that provide smart views of the street and the college.
Hungry guests can buy snacks and drinks at the reception. Breakfast is available for €10.

The student district of Paris since the 13th century, the Latin Quarter is located in the Left Bank's 5th arrondissement, and includes the Ile de la Cité in the center of the Seine. It's home to the Sorbonne University, the vast Jardin des Plantes on its eastern end, the Place St-Michel, the Panthéon on the Ste-Geneviève hilltop, and Notre Dame Cathedral on the Ile de la Cité. It's a lively area of Paris completely overrun with students and tourists and the cheap shops and eateries that cater to both constituencies.
After dark, the masses congregate in the pubs around the Place de la Contrescarpe and the clubs off the winding Rue de la Huchette. Many of the buildings in the Latin Quarter date back to the 1600s, something to keep in mind when choosing a hotel where ancient wooden beams and exposed stone walls come with winding, uneven stairs and tiny rooms.
