Original Review:

The quiet Hotel du College de France has a great location in the Latin Quarter, nestled in down the street from the Sorbonne and surrounding schools. With reasonable rates, it's not surprising that this three-star pick is popular with visiting professors and other studious types.

Shhhhh! Studious types searching for a quiet and convenient home base near the Sorbonne should certainly consider the Hotel du College de France. The 29- room hotel offers comfortable two-star rooms with fresh décor, within minutes of many of the neighborhood schools.

The modern rooms are homey with beige walls and carpets. There are a few high-tech touches, such as small flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi access throughout. Black-and-white photos of old Paris hang on the walls.

We suggest asking for one of the corner rooms, which have two street-side windows that provide smart views of the neighborhood and the college.

Bathrooms have a nice look to them and are kept in good condition. They also offer tubs, showers, and hair dryers.

Downstairs, the lobby provides a few eclectic surprises, including a cool life-size sculpture of Jeanne d'Arc. Breakfast is available for €16.
