This place is a must for first-timers in Paris. The location is in the center of everything, right in St. Germain. My room had all the essentials - comfy bed, good shower, desk, spacious armoire and it was so nice to come back to a toasty room after a long day of sight-seeing in the rain. No extra frills here, just good old fashion hospitality. There is so much history in place, you can just feel it. Close to all the cafes and restaurants which seem to stay open all night. I had a window facing the city streets, which is all I really wanted to allow the beautiful sounds come in when I wanted to get a taste of the city. Otherwise, very quiet, comfortable stay. I will always stay at Hotel La Louisiane when visiting Paris.
