Located on the busy Boulevard Saint-Michel one block north of the Sorbonne, the Hotel de Suez keeps busy, offering tidy rooms that provide basic, two-star comforts at a reasonable rate.
The 49 rooms are spotless and well equipped. As for décor, rooms are outfitted in pretty creams, blues, and stripes, with coordinating furniture, and classic leather armchairs thrown in. Mini-fridges and safes are available on request. Rooms facing the streets offer cool views up and down Boulevard Saint-Michel and have soundproofed windows for extra noise protection.
Bathrooms boast original 1960s mosaic tiling that looks very hip today. Some showers have multi-jets (ask ahead), and most have ample space for toiletries.
Marc Bonmarchand, the amiable proprietor, and the friendly receptionists are rightly proud of their hotel. Sitting downstairs in the cool lounge (eggshell ceiling, mod chairs and tables, plasma television screen), we met nearly everyone on staff, many of whom have happily made long careers at the Suez.
Note: Mention EuroCheapo when making your reservation and Marc will offer free WiFi during your stay.
Breakfast €7.
