HOTEL MAXIM QUARTIER LATIN, Paris

The hotel sits on the left bank of the Seine in one of Paris's most lively and historic neighbourhoods. Metro Censier-Daubenton (line 7) is 50-120 m away, giving direct access to the Louvre and Opéra Garnier. Rue Mouffetard, known for its cafés, restaurants, and markets, is a five-minute walk. Many major sights are walkable: 20 minutes to Notre-Dame, 25 to the Panthéon. The area is safe, quiet at night, and well connected by bus and bike rental stations just outside.

All rooms feature air conditioning, satellite TV, a work desk, and free WiFi. Bathrooms are private ensuite with glass panels or sliding doors; some have L'Occitane toiletries. Room sizes are compact: Single (10 m2), Double Classic (10-11 m2), Double Superior (11 m2), Deluxe (16 m2), and Family Suite (23 m2). Superior and Deluxe rooms may offer a balcony. The Family Suite and Deluxe have a minibar (empty). Kettles are available in some rooms, and irons can be borrowed from reception. Soundproofing is effective, but corridors can be audible; rooms facing the courtyard are quieter. For two people, the space is tight for luggage - consider booking a larger category if comfort is a priority.

Breakfast includes breads, pastries, cheese, cold cuts, yoghurt, fresh fruit, and hot drinks. It can be taken in the cosy breakfast room or on the patio when weather allows. Breakfast in the room is also available. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but the hotel's reception team can recommend nearby dining options; the surrounding streets are filled with cafés and bistros. Wine or champagne can be ordered for an additional charge.

The hotel offers free WiFi in all areas, a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Portuguese), free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and daily housekeeping. A safety deposit box is available, and the lobby provides free coffee, tea, and pastries. Facilities for disabled guests are available (lift, raised toilet, grab rails, braille signs). Board games and a concierge service are on offer. Airport transfer can be arranged for 80€ one way (CDG). Parking is not on site; two public garages (Indigo Patriarches and Jardin des Plantes) are within a few minutes' walk. Early check-in (12:00) costs 50€ if available.
