The service was superlative, the downstairs waiting area is gorgeous, and out room was very well appointed.

The Hotel le Sénat is an excellent boutique hotel in an outstanding location in the Latin quarter of Paris. Staff was also excellent, receptive, and all understood and spoke English. read more

The hotel was nice. We liked the lobby which sets a classy tone for the entire place. The tiny elevator was enough to get one person plus luggage up and down, but the stairs were also plenty serviceable. The location is good even if the nearby metro only had the RER-B. The room was larger than expected and even the bathroom was large enough. The bathtub was a welcome element after walking over 20,000 steps every day. Overall, high quality One negative element that mars this was the closet - it had an odor in it that stuck to clothing and we could not use it. It didn't quite smell like mildew, but it was bad. Pretty much the only negative to anotherwise nice stay, but a significant one. read more

Our local travel agent booked this small boutique hotel for us while we were in Paris for 5 days. The location is perfect! Short walks to two metro stations (Luxembourg and Odeon) made it super convenient to get around Paris. It was a block away from Luxembourg park (great place for a early morning jog or walk) and 10 minutes stroll to numerous bars in the Latin district, frequented by the students from Sorbonne university. Rooms were small by US city standards but clean and the beds were comfy. Hotel concierge staff were English speaking and very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding and had enough items and variety to keep us happy for five days in a row. The croissants, cheese, bacon, ham and fresh squeezed OJ and grapefruit juice were my favorites. Coffee was always freshly brewed for you and came with hot milk if you needed it. read more

We stayed here for our Parisian honeymoon and had a really lovely time. The staff was friendly and spoke English fluently. Our room quickly felt like home and we loved the view of the little neighborhood street from our open window. There were fresh baked goods in the lobby every day, and we were able to use a couple of the wine glasses for a bottle that we bought. We had no issue with the wifi, housekeeping was very efficient and clean, and they replaced our safe fairly quickly when it stopped working. The only strange thing was the lack of door in the shower, but I think that might be a European thing that Americans have to adjust to. Overall we loved the hotel and the location couldn't be beat. So close to Metro, Luxembourg Gardens, and tons of cafes! read more

Suites are quiet and secluded. It included bedroom, living area, and 1.5 bathrooms. L'Occitane amenities and nice breakfast. Front lobby was comfortable with wine, drinks, coffee, and chocolates. Yes, the elevator is very cramped. Built on a charming side street. Very nice read more

We enjoyed the staff here. The room and bathroom were a little too small for our comfort with two suitcases. There wasn't enough floor space to have both suitcases opened at once which made it hard to feel like we could unpack even a little in our 4 nights there. The room also didn't block out hardly any sounds (outside or inside) - we heard a lot of noise in the hallway, above us and outside our window throughout the night. They had the best working AC though! read more

Great location in a safe, walkable area of Paris. Staff was fantastic, daily breakfast was well appointed. Room was cozy, clean and comfortable and about what you would expect for Paris. Did I mention the location? Numerous cafes and restaurants within a 5 minute walk, a small grocery/wine store and pharmacy across the street and coin laundry around the corner make this the perfect location for your European vacation. read more

Hotel Le Sénat was the perfect little hotel in Paris for my husband and me. Our travel agent in the US booked the room for us as part of our travel package, and it was a great choice as it was so centrally located - walkable distance to a few iconic sites like the Notre Dame, Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre, the Seine River. There was a convenience store across the street that stayed open till about 9 PM. The hotel is also just 5 minutes away from restaurants where you can sit at and enjoy a casual meal or wine or coffee. The first night we ate at the Les Patios restaurant which is across the street from the famous Sorbonne University of Paris. Being from the US, we had to get used to the smallness of everything! The lift was tiny, could hold only 2 people and 2 suitcases!! But got the job done. The room was clean, comfortable with a queen-size bed, nightstands, electric kettle for tea/coffee in the room, mini fridge that contained 6 bottles of complimentary water, small closet space & locker and functioning air conditioning. Our room was not a deluxe room, so it did not have a balcony overlooking anything scenic, but the big window opened up to a street view. The bathroom was very modern, black tile and stainless steel, and clean, with great shampoo/conditioner. The only thing is that the tub had a half glass 'door' which really didn't keep the shower water from splashing all over the bathroom. The Wi-Fi was strong, and we were able to use our phones, and tablets without difficulty. The only thing I could not understand is that the TV had all French programs. The only channel in English was BBC news that kept looping with the same news pretty much all day long. But then we weren't there to watch TV in the room all day, anyway! Breakfast was served in the basement. Location of the eating area is a bit of a disappointment, but it's functional. Hot breakfast was served every day, with selections of meats, breads, croissants, yogurt, cereal, fruit, juice, tea or coffee. The lobby/reception area also keeps a coffee/tea station with small cakes/croissants for guests as they come and go. There are wine glasses and bottle openers there you can borrow if you bring home a bottle of wine to drink. The staff was incredible. A big shout-out to Caroline at the front desk. She was friendly, courteous and kind, with a great sense of humor. I was impressed by the way she went above and beyond to be helpful. She found me AA batteries for my camera - at no extra charge! She printed out directions to venues and our boarding passes, and gave detailed directions to places, called taxi services for us - all with impeccable English (with a beautiful French accent of course). All other staff was also very helpful, gracious and spoke English. Would come back again for another great stay. Thank you for making Paris a memorable trip! read more

This is a solid 4 star hotel. We spent two nights here and the front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful. Check in went smoothly on arrival and we were given an overview of the hotel, wifi and breakfast details. The hotel is typical European, quite small by American standards but has all the things you need. The lobby is spacious to wait for taxi and groups and has a code station. FYI if you have a room with breakfast included, that's downstairs and is not the croissant and coffee station by the entrance. We were a bit confused on our first day and very jet lagged. The breakfast area made me a little sad. It's downstairs, level 0 on the elevator and there's no windows to the outside. The staff take down your room number and you seat yourself. Chairs and tables were stationed very close together but luckily people seem to stagger their breakfast time when we were there but if it was packed I can imagine feeling a little crowded. The breakfast has all the basics of fruit, yogurt, cold cuts and cheese selection, pastries, a lot of varieties of bread, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage. And of course coffee and tea. We ended up eating every breakfast here just because it was so convenient. The chocolate croissant was very flaky and delicious. The room was alright but the bed was a little too hard for my partner. Overall a good value hotel in a great location so I would recommend this place if you're a tourist in the area for a few days. There's a nice park and lots of restaurants in walking distance. read more

Excellent place to stay! All the staff are helpful & pleasant. They speak English and are willing to show you how to get around the city. Delicious places to eat within walking distance & metro close by. Employee Jeremy goes above & beyond to help you! Breakfast included has a lot of offerings & is yummy!! read more

Most of my stay was exceptional. Not everything in life is perfect, and I think I assumed it would be as perfect as it had been the previous time. The hotel amended their mistake so I forgive them. Focus on the positive! So why mention? The positives: great breakfast, albeit expensive, but to-die-for scrambled eggs (so much better than I get in the UK), great location, smart decor/lighting/furniture, sort of like Don Draper-meets French mid-c. modern, near some great restaurants, cafes, etc., short walk to Monop, a store I just fell in love with. Coffee is very pricy here - 4 euros - and I wish the room included a tea kettle or something, but these are small things. Bed is super comfortable. TV is upscale, lots of channels (I'm a fan of CNN International) and it's very quiet, which is a balm when traveling. Antonio, Caroline & Camile are especially GREAT. read more

My first Paris trip was spent at this hotel for two weeks. I was so impressed with my overall experience at this hotel. All the staff through out the hotel was very friendly, helpful and always acted in a very professional manner. Most of the staff where very fluent in English which made us feel very comfortable. The rooms where extremely clean, tidy and the beds were unbelievably comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and had a nice selection of items to choose from. We highly recommend this hotel and will plan on staying here again when we visit this beautiful city. read more

Situated at the perfect location for a stay in the St. Germain area Hôtel Le Sénat is a very modern and stylish boutique hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (speaks fluent English). The rooms are small but adequate for this type of French hotels. The breakfast buffet, available for an extra charge of 15 euros, is served in a nice breakfast room in the basement of the hotel and consists of delicious bakeries, cereals, pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausages etc. The Jardin du Luxembourg is just a few steps away, ideal for a morning walk or run and there are several cafes and bistros and even some fast food outlets in the area. The Luxembourg station of the RER train service is right around the corner and takes you directly to Charles de Gaulles Airport in about 40 minutes. read more

We had a nice stay at Hotel LeSenat. The room was very nice and service was always pleasant and helpful, despite that we didn't speak much French. I especially liked that there was free wifi at the hotel and a shared computer in the lobby to use (free wifi was difficult to find in the city). I was surprised that you needed to provide your room number to get a cup of coffee in the lobby - strict enough that the staff will chase you to the elevator to make sure you fill it out on their form. It is in a nice neighborhood, and the park behind the Senat is very peaceful in a busy city - there are lots of restaurants and markets nearby. It is a bit of a walk to the metro, finding taxis could be a challenge, but only once did we get caught in the rain w/o catching a taxi. The restaurant, La Ferrandaise next door was great!! Despite the nice stay and courteous service, the one thing that was disturbing as we were checking out we were told we used some liquor from the mini bar. I explained that we never used the mini bar. There was some polite smiling from the staff and they said they would take care of it. After we got home I found they just charged my card for the missing liquor. So, if you do stay make sure you check the mini bar daily to make sure someone else hasn't taken anything. I didn't think that was what they meant when the staff said "we will take care of it". Classy. read more

Being my first time in Paris, you can never know what area you really want to be in, until you find the neighborhood with the right restaurants, the cafes, shops...etc. What a gem this was! Looking out our window from our room we could see one of the corners of the Luxembourg Gardens. Though it was winter and quiet in the garden the morning that we took our walk through, this was a great start to one of our days and definitely an escape from the city. Le Senat is located just off of a side street, a couple of blocks away from a metro stop and walking distance to big sights such as the Notre Dame. Two of our nights, we walked down the street to dinner, literally about a 7 minute walk- taking our time. Great food, quiet streets and definitely not touristic. On arrival, Ewan (one of the guest service people) was very professional and very kind to us. We arrived in the early morning, so we checked our luggage in with them and took off to see the city. One of the days my mom saw a sign at the front desk about day trips to Versailles. Though she was on the fence about it and I wanted to go and see more of Paris, she asked Ewan for more information. I highly doubted they could get her something so last minute, but Ewan made a call right away and inquired for her. He set something up for her on the spot and she was picked up from the hotel that afternoon for her tour. The price was something so silly (cheap!), they pick you up from the hotel and bring you back later that evening. She came back to the hotel just in time for our dinner reservation. Ask the hotel to assist you with these type of reservations- they know what they are doing and they have a list of people that they can call and obviously deal with regularly. When we came back hours later, we were excited to see the room. The front area is so chic and modern. Their choice of colors are welcoming and modern. They have a tea and coffee station as well as an "honor bar". Our room was very nice. I was staying with my mother- whom I love, but we of course need our space. Definitely well sized rooms. The bathrooms were spotless, which is definitely where I'm probably the most picky about. Great pillows and bed as well. We were really able to just relax when we got back each time to our room. The wifi was strong and we never had any problems logging in online to make calls or to write emails. I recommend their rooms with a balcony, if this was a special occasion or if you are looking for a place with a view of the rooftops and Sacre Coeur in the distance. Breakfast is in the basement are of the hotel. Very quiet, two of the mornings we were the only people eating which was nice and unexpected. Once we came in, someone greeted us and asked if we would like hot tea or coffee, then they brought us either thing we ordered on a tray with our own pot of coffee or tea. They had a nice spread of food, savory and sweet things to enjoy. I asked the front desk for directions one morning, using the map I had on hand, which was huge and overwhelming- they immediately typed the address into the computer and printed out a step by step way (from google maps) of how to get to where I wanted. All in all, this was a very memorable stay for my mother and I. Also, this is the perfect place to have as a base if you are staying in Paris for longer then the 2-3 nights. So easy to connect to different parts of the city. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you to Ewan for making our stay effortless and our time in Paris memorable. read more

If you need wifi, WIRELESS internet, do NOT go to this hotel. You have to go down to the public hotel lobby to utilize any kind of wifi. Or you can connect your cell phone/laptop and sit at a desk and sit at a chair with no back to do any kind of work, watching tv, or talking on the phone whilst connected to a wire for internet. Then when I went to the lobby to figure out what was going on, another guest was complaining about the same thing. They refused to give any kind of discount or return my charges when I hadn't even been checked in for 30 minutes. If you're not from Europe and don't plan on having your cell phone for internet then do not go to this hotel. The reception people are rude and not accommodating to any guests. There is a hotel two doors down that is very friendly and has wifi in your room. read more

We stayed here for our honeymoon a couple weeks ago and were really impressed. As the other reviews point out, the corridors are narrow and the elevator can barely fit two people. We got a deluxe room to have a little bit more space and it was definitely worth it. Very clean, free Wifi, helpful staff and a great location in the Latin Quarter. Would definitely come back here again! read more
