The Hotel La Louisiane is a very simple place—don’t expect anything fancy, or even ac or a TV. But it is a charming place with an amazing history (Sartre, de Beauvoir, Cher Baker, Tarantino etc etc) and the staff is very nice and competent. And the location really can’t be beat: in the heart of the Left Bank and a short walk to places like the Louvre, Orsay etc. Streetside rooms could be a bit noisy, so I suggest asking for the courtyard side—but so long as that works out—and you are looking for great location and atmosphere, this is a great place.
