The Hotel Stella is old, cheap, and charming. This one-star hotel has 20 rooms and is located just around the corner from the Odéon theater and the Luxembourg gardens. The hotel is frequented by budget-minded families and the strict night disturbance regulations makes it unattractive to party animals.
The Stella is old: the stairs are steep and worn, the carpeting has seen so much traffic it seems plastered to the floor, and the gigantic wood beams seem to be the only thing holding up the place. But these are all reasons why we loved this place! The hotel might be getting on its years, but it hasn’t lost its charm, and it doesn't look rundown.
Rooms are large. Antique furniture, including a stand-up piano in one room, give these old guys some kick. Old-fashioned pieces include carved wooden desks perfect for penning postcards and hark to the days when furniture making was an art. The Stella is a no frills hotel but the prices won't break the smallest of banks.
The hotel sits just on top of two restaurants, one French and one Japanese, making for an interesting set of smells on the first floor.
Note: This hotel does not accept credit cards. |
