Quick Read

On a quaint, tree-lined street in the 5th arrondissement, the cheerful Hôtel Des Mines holds court. It stands just a 5-minute walk from the Luxembourg Gardens.

Soundproofed, air-conditioned rooms are bursting with colors, patterns or both. Either way, rooms are bright and welcoming, especially after a long day exploring. Otherwise, rooms are simple but include TVs, safes, desks, private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. They can also be a tight squeeze at just 108 square feet.

With rooms averaging around €220 per night in the peak season, Hôtel Des Mines isn’t the most cheapo-friendly place in Paris. But for the service and location, it does offer a good value. In low season, rates drop to around €139 per night.

Breakfast is available for an additional fee, and you can enjoy it in the dining room or your guestroom if you prefer.

Location: Very central

0.9km to city center

Main attractions: 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 iconic Panthéon on the Ste-Geneviève hilltop, and Notre Dame cathedral on the Ile de la Cité.

Neighborhood atmosphere: Many of the buildings in the charming, ever-popular 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.

Affordability: The 5th arrondissement is a lively area of Paris completely overrun with students and tourists and the cheap shops and eateries that cater to both. After dark, the youthful masses congregate in the pubs around the Place de la Contrescarpe and the clubs off the winding Rue de la Huchette.

Stay Here If: You want a central location in a student-friendly neighborhood filled with bookshops, movie theaters and bars.

Stay Elsewhere If: You prefer a more quiet, grown-up atmosphere less catered to students and packed with tourists.
