HOTEL DU LEVANT, Paris

The Hôtel du Levant sits at 18 Rue de la Harpe in the vibrant 5th arrondissement. Saint-Michel Metro and RER station (220 m) provides direct trains to Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports (RER B) and Gare du Nord (Line 4). Many top sights are within walking distance: Notre-Dame Cathedral (2 min), Luxembourg Gardens (10 min), the Louvre (15 min), and the Pantheon. The lively street offers numerous dining options, from crêperies to bistros, and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area is minutes away on foot. For those without a car, the location is ideal - everything accessible on foot or by metro. The nearest underground car park is on Rue Hautefeuille, about 5 minutes away.

The hotel offers single, double, triple, and family rooms (quadruple) as well as suites of two connecting rooms, each with its own private bathroom (some with separate toilet). All rooms include a flat-screen TV, minibar (can be emptied for use as a fridge), electric kettle, work desk, and hair dryer. King-size beds (180 cm) are available in some rooms, and quiet courtyard-facing rooms can be requested for a more peaceful stay - recommended for light sleepers as street-facing rooms can be lively at night. While some rooms are compact, especially in older Parisian style, the triple and family rooms provide more space. Daily housekeeping, air conditioning in summer, and heating in winter are standard. Note that the lift is small and may not accommodate large wheelchairs; an adapted room with a transfer chair is available for guests with reduced mobility.

The hotel provides a 24-hour reception, safety deposit box, and laundry service (charges apply, e.g., €30 for a bag). Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Daily housekeeping is standard, though some prefer only towel changes. The lift is small but services all floors; an adapted room for reduced mobility is available with a transfer chair for the lift. Luggage storage is free both before check-in and after check-out, ideal for late flights. Pets are allowed for a nightly fee of €10. Cots/cribs are available for infants, and children over three must have their own bed. The hotel accepts Visa, Maestro, and MasterCard, and offers room service and in-room breakfast.
