I have gone to Paris at least once a year for 20+ years. Now I stay in different areas, to learn a new neighborhood each time. But for several years I always went to the same place, because it was comfortable, cheap and friendly. It was the Hotel Gay-Lussac, in the 5th arrondissment, on the Left Bank's Rue Gay-Lussac.

I stayed for two nights at the hotel Gay-Lussac in a single room with shower, and I'm definitely keeping this address for next time I go to Paris. To my opinion, this is an awesome value for your money: I paid 78 euros per night, which is rather cheap for Paris. The location could not be better as the hotel... More

This hotel was not a bad price, but do not be pleased with original price that is offered. I ended up paying more than what was discussed, the food was not fresh and the rooms are not well maintained at all. They were slightly dirty and the shower doesnt even have a stand, so it is more like a hand... More

We just stayed at hotel Gay-Lussac for 8 days. Were a little doubtful at first from reading some scary reviews, but our experience was quiet good. We had a large attic room on the 6th floor, with bathroom + shower + breakfast for 2, for 90Euro/night. You won´t find this anywhere else in expensive Paris, needless to say at this... More

85E a night = twin room with shower and toilet and inc. breakfast. Trip with my mum. I'd stayed here a few years ago so i knew the location was great. Jardin de luxumbourg at the bottom of the road, Pantheon just round the corner and Notre dame 30 min walk away. Room was clean and had a tv. Beds... More

Stayed here in August 2012 for 4 nights. On the plus side, the rooms are clean, modern and big enough, the staff are friendly, walking distance to Sorbonne area and other good neighbourhoods. On the negative side, the ceiling was a bit thin so we could hear people in the floor above us. Also, location is a tad awkward because... More

The hotel is in a busy side street just beside the Luxembourg Park and the Luxembourg metro station, which links you directly to both international airports of Paris. Rooms are very basic, some without shower. Breakfast is less than simple and the rooms have no air-conditioning, which can be very unpleasant during the summer, but the prices, for Paris standards,... More

Old and somewhat poorly maintained but the location is good. If you're willing to tolerate noise and discomfort at night, and need to be in walking distance from many major POIs, do consider this one.

I stayed in the Hotel Gay Lussac for two nights a few weeks ago and found it a thoroughly pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and well-equipped and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too. Taking into account its location and low price, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Booked at the last minute and happy to find a place, later I understood why. Stayed there 4 days with my boyfriend. Since I was French speaker, I was the one communicating with the old lady, probably the owner of the place, at the reception desk. From the start she wasn't nice, and this got worst the second day when... More
