This small hotel is on a very quiet sidestreet just off Boulevard St Michel, and a hundred metres from Place de St Andre. This is the second time I have stayed here, and will stay again. The hotel itself is very charming, although as there are no lifts you wil have to be prepared for a climb to your room.... More

We stayed at Hotel du Lys for eight nights. The hotel location is excellent. The hotel is located in the Latin Quarter. The room was small but adequate. The bed was too small for two people. There were two heaters in the room that didn't work. We asked three different staff members about the room heaters and all of them... More

We stayed here several years ago and were charmed by this little hotel in such a historic building A recent return was not such a nice experience. The rooms were shabby and neglected but the most disappointing was the attitude of the front desk chaps who were bored, uninterested and unhelpful and at times downright rude. Of course location is... More

My husband and I first stayed at the Hotel de Lys in 1970 in a lovely room on the 5th floor. When I made our reservation this time, as we are of a certain age, I asked for a room on a lower level (there is no lift). We were given Room 6, one flight up, with an ensuite bathroom.... More

A charming hotel in the middle of Paris !!! That is the opening sentence on the hotel's website. This is NOT AT ALL the case. It is an old, neglected zero-star hotel in which only the location has some value. The hotel reception is a small desk. The gentleman at that desk could not or did not want to speak... More

My husband and I were only staying in Paris for one night and were looking for a nice hotel, reasonably priced and in a good location. This hotel offered it all. The staff was wonderful. Our room was large and clean. We were on the top floor and the WIFI reception was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. More

The Hotel du Lys was a charming hotel with great location, a short walk away from Notre Dame and La Seine. Despite great hospitality the rooms were outdated in decor and slightly dirty. The manager was very friendly and was very helpful on advising what destinations to visit whilst in Paris and the sorrounding area. I suggest you visit Chateau... More

The Hotel du Lys is an excellent value in a perfect location. This is a unique property in an old building - don't stay here if you expect opulent surroundings or standard rooms. I took a first-floor double which was roomy and well-appointed. My travel companion chose a cozy single on the top floor overlooking the rooftops of Paris. Breakfast... More

I stayed on my own at the Hotel du Lys for a weekend at the end of August 2011. I chose it for the location and I was not disappointed : it is excellent. However, even if I decided to take the second most expensive type of double room, I was not happy. I paid 120 euros per night but... More

My wife and I stayed here for three nights in midsummer 2011. The hotel had been recommended by a colleague who stayed here with his family the previous summer. This was our first visit to Paris, so we wanted a centrally-located hotel that was not too expensive. Hotel du Lys was the perfect choice. It is effectively in the dead... More
