We stayed at the cosey Minerve Hotel for 4 nights. The staff is very friendly and keen to help if necessary. We has a double room with street view. The room was small - but so is the majority of hotel rooms in Paris. The bathroom was newly renovated, and it was nice and clean. All you need for sleeping... More

We spent four nights at the Minerve Hotel and found it to be an excellent location for seeing the sights of Paris. It is a very short walk to the river and Notre Dame and also the metro. The rooms are small but comfortable and ours was very quiet so we slept well. The hotel has WiFi but you have... More

Returned to Paris and stayed again at the Minerve Hotel -- enjoyed the stay just as much as the first time, even if the room was smaller, the comfort, service and location were all the same. The entire staff (victor, jamal and violette )is not just friendly, but enthusiastic and personable about their service - a rarity in this particular... More

Old-fashioned hotel in a good location. Likely to delight or frustrate, depending on your needs and expectations (of Paris hotels in general). Stayed here two nights with a relative, so not a romantic break. We know Paris well, knew we wanted to be around here, did not plan to spend much time in the hotel and it suited us really... More

We were originally supposed to stay in the hotel next store, La Familia, but somehow the reservation I made in January online didn't make it into their books. I did have the confirmation page with me, and they truly could not have been nicer about sending me next door to the Minerve Hotel, which is apparently owned by the same... More

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. We stayed there for two nights as a family of 5, mainly because they have a family suite (which is difficult to find reasonably priced in large cities). So I appreciate this option and the price is reasonable for that. Here were the upsides for us: family suite for a reasonable price, bathrooms... More

We went to Paris in mid-November to enjoy a ballet at the Opera Garnier. We didn't intend to spend much time indoors - we were in Paris, after all =) - so, the idea was to find a nice hotel in central Paris, from where it would be quite easy to get around the cuty. Hotel Minerve seemed a good... More

Great location. Room was very comfy and good price. No breakfast but cafes opposite. Lots of cool places nearby, could walk to Notre Dame, could spend my birthday in cool bar Curio just a walk away. Very close to tube. Nightman on weekends (a Portuguese guy) super friendly and nice. Quiet hotel. Good shower. Tiny lift but no problem. Would... More

On the surface, this hotel seemed like a great find, with good location and reasonable pricing. We planned to stay for 5 nights. In fact, the room was tiny with barely enough room to put 2 suitcases on the floor. The elevator barely held 2 people, certainly no more than 1 at a time with a single suitcase. The bathroom... More

I have stayed in this hotel in November 2011 for four days. The room was the tiniest I have ever stayed in. If you need some space for working or look for a large room and bathroom, just forget about staying in this hotel. But, I must add that although the room was very very small, it was comforting and...
