Good price, uncomfortable atmosphere

Overall it was a good location in Paris and not a bad price. However, the room is VERY small and you do have to carry you bags up a set of stairs. We noticed half of the saff was very helpful while the other half felt like they were mocking us for our terrible french.

beautiful room. convenient area. beware: on arrival there is a long narrow staircase to get to reception on the first floor -- no lift!

10/10 Exceptional

First of all, I have to say that the staff at this hotel is a 10 out of 10. This was the first hotel that we stayed at as part of a longer trip in Europe. The front desk staff was so friendly, accommodating, and very welcoming. We did not speak the native language, and although there was a language barrier, they made our entire check-in process and entire stay so easy. The room was very small, which is normal in this area, but the room and view were wonderful. There is an elevator available after you make it to the floor that the front desk is on, but beware that it’s not easy to get all of your suitcases up the first flight and a half of stairs before the elevator so if you were staying here, you may wanna pack lightly

Room was good except small. Bath was also good. We kept hitting the tv with our heads coming out of bath. Staff was very helpful

Stay here!

Perfect spot! The metro was 4 steps from the door! There was also a grocery store and a market directly across the street. Could not ask for a better spot! Staff was super friendly and very accommodating! I would definitely stay here again.

Very good access to Metro, cheap, clean room with daily room service. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with Hôtel du Lion.

8/10 Very good

Summer family vacation.

Very nice service and rooms We’re comfortable and clean. Bigger than most Paris rooms we’ve stayed in. Stayed for 3 nights during a heat wave. No AC but they provided fans. One room the fan was good; the other the fan wasn’t very strong. Noisy with windows open (which was needed this week) but quieter with them closed. Breakfast was basic but good. It was in a nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants, monoprix and a metro stop. Close to catacombs if you’re visiting that and an easy metro ride to other attractions. Would stay again but maybe not in summer unless booking close to trip to look at weather. FYI if you have mobility issues, while they have a lift to access the hotel there is still a flight of stairs. We enjoyed our stay!
Angela, 3-night trip

Great value and location, the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was a typically small Parisian room that is best described as you get what you pay for.

katsuhito, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property itself is a bit sketchy but for 1 or 2 nights, it's fine. The location is very good - during the day. The Denfert Rochereau station is directly in front of the property so convenience to the Metro is excellent. At night is a different story. I'm from New York so I'm not squeemish about homeless people or druggies walking around the street. However, the Hotel itself is in desperate need of an upgrade. The hallway to our room looked like something out of a horror movie and you're basically betting on something otherworldly jumping out at you right before entering the room. While the room itself was satisfactory and clean, it too can do for an upgrade. What I really DISLIKED the most of this Hotel was the fact that the moment you walk in, there's a huge, steep flight of stairs. If you have large luggage, I wish you the best of luck getting up the stairs with it in tow. I won't even mention the elevator at the top of said stairs to get to the rooms because as is customary in Europe, you can only fit 2 people with no luggage or take turns going up the elevator 1 person and 1 piece of luggage at a time. Another detail is that they lock the door of the hotel at night which is good for security but bad if G-d forbid there's a fire or if you plan to leave the hotel in the early morning like we did (we had a 5 am train to London). Our room had a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower so it made up for the setbacks. I would recommend but only for a 1-2 night stay.
Barbara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location near RER B and métro. Very friendly staff, arranged for our early check in at noon instead of 2pm. Rooms are small and storage limited, so not ideal when you have a lot of luggage. There is a flight of stairs to reach reception, then an elevator to the other floors.
Ariane, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel du Lion is an auberge suitable to access my workplace. A couple of minutes of walking takes us to Gare de Denfert-Rochereau. You can see Rue Daguerre just crossing the road. The room is kept clean every day. Kind and helpful persons are at the desk.
Kazuhiro, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overal staying was good , there’s no air conditioner and made it uncomfortable to sleep at night
Masoomeh, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

A bit too expensive for a veeeeery small room - I'm used to European hotel rooms but this was very very small, with barely room to walk around each side of the small bed, no fridge and a tv the size of a monitor. Not sure if this would work for 2 adults. I understand it was expensive because of the Olympics but we checked other hotels when we got there and there were plenty of other options. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the location is great, with access to shops and transport.
Alexandra, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall okay. Bed was good ad I slept well. It was clean and the staff was very nice. It was not quiet, not only it is in an area that is very busy and noisy, the rooms are not well insulated. I could hear everything that was going on in my next door neighbors...
SOPHIE, 1-night trip

I was charged for taxes when I arrived and I had already paid for it. When I was leaving they wanted me to pay for the breakfast again . Also breakfast is not buffet . It’s bread, coffee and orange juice

Very tiny rooms has an elevator to the room but not from street to reception about 25 curved narrow ones up. Tv is hanging by bathroom smacked head on it several times the way it’s mounted
