Editor’s Note:

Hotel Design Sorbonne is no longer a EuroCheapo Editor’s pick. In our most recent research and rate testing, we found average rates were regularly over $275 a night, which is well outside of our Cheapo budgets.

Original Review:

Located on the bustling and central rue Saint-Jacques, the two-star Hotel Diana provides a solid deal. The great location near Boulevard St-Germain combined with renovated rooms that have air-conditioning make for an excellent value.

The Hotel Diana’s 22 non-smoking rooms, situated on its five floors (with elevator), are quite nice. They boast new carpets, crisp white curtains and orange drapes. Double windows should keep out much of the noise of passing traffic on the busy rue Saint Jacques, although light sleepers might want to ask for a room facing the back courtyard (or on a higher floor).

All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, telephone, safe and air conditioning (during the summer only). Wi-Fi is offered for free throughout the hotel.

All double rooms have a renovated private bath, equipped with a bathtub and hair dryer. Bathrooms in the Hotel Diana’s two single rooms are equipped with a shower. With many double rates averaging around €225 per night, the Diana is a reliable option, and its location (just south of the Boulevard Saint-Germain on rue Saint-Jacques) is a major selling point.

Breakfast is offered for €14.

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.
