Having previously stayed at hotels on the right bank, Hotel Comtesse has made us believers in Rive Gauche. Truly can’t say enough about the location. Easy, quick walk to many key sites, and why not when you get to cross Paris’s most beautiful bridge, Pont Alexandre III. We are very low maintenance guests so we didn’t have much interaction with staff but the reception staff are très gentils. We walked all of St Germaine de Prés from the hotel. The view of Eiffel Tower is unmatched!! A delight every night! We didn’t have the breakfast but if we had stayed one more day we would have. It looked so lovely! If you stay here, do yourself a favor and walk 4 minutes to Milagro for dinner…food is absolutely to die for, and staff make you feel like family. Way better than anything we had on Rue Cler (but definitely go to Rue Cler for the little shops and the artisanal Boulanger). We will definitely stay here again.
