LA LOUISIANE

I want to love this hotel for the mere fact of location, friendly staff, and affordability. However, this hotel needs a lot of work. My wife and I knew what we were getting into when we looked up the hotel and photos of it, however in person it can be extremely daunting. The hallways leading up to your room is really bad. It looks really old, un-maintained and run down, and had a weird smell. The room however, was extremely clean, we had no complaints there. We were barely in the hotel, just to sleep and recharge for the next day, so it was not an impediment upon our stay, but I would like fellow travelers to be aware.

Great location. I like to walk, and I could get anywhere I wished. The simple amenities provided worked well for me. The bedding was good quality, and I could soak in the bath. I do not expect Paris to be quiet, but twice I had a room on the Rue de Buci, and it was noisy until 4 am. Get a room on the courtyard 'si possible'. It is easy to get great, fresh food within a short walk, and the Blvd. Saint Germain is just a half block. These places are converted rooming houses, so keep your expectations at bay, and you will enjoy while saving $$. I have stayed here many times, the most recent being July 2024.

There are cameras on each floor, keycards that show who has been in the room. Still management acted unprofessionally in this matter. Just informed me that cleaning lady had not taken them. I listen to music each night before sleep and did NOT take them outside of the room. Plus Bluetooth could not connect to them, so they were not in the room, I wrote a complaint to the hotel, while we were still there. Didn't receive an answer before I after 2 days, had returned home and requesting a reply to my complaint. They claimed the Airpods were found and they would leave them in the lost and found drawer at the hotel. NEVER had such a bad and unprofessional experience. Can not recommend this hotel in any way.

Location, location, location! It's not easy to find accommodations for a family of five, for a reasonable price, in Paris. Louisiane delivered -- though just barely! They gave us a room with one queen and two twin beds, and we had to do some creative bed-making to make this useable for parents with three young teens, but it worked. The room was eclectic, weirdly-shaped, and charming, just like the Latin Quarter itself; we loved the rooftop view, and the tiny bathroom with its soaker tub! Five-star resort? Definitely not. The place is old and budget, and you won't be overwhelmed with luxury amenities. But it's full of character and history, a building crammed with the stories of the lives lived inside it, and you can feel them. Every type of restaurant and attraction you could want is within an easy walk, the streets hopping with nightlife. Highly recommend if you want a taste of "real" Latin Quarter. Fantastic experience!

I traveled with a large group and we stayed one night at the La Louisiane, the room I had was great didn’t over look the street but was so quiet. The room was comfortable with everything I needed. The staff were awesome and so accommodating. Would definitely stay again. Can not beat the location!

The Hotel does not inform you prior to arrival that check in is only at 17h not at 13h as mentioned on their facebook page. They do not provide consigne so if you arrive early from a foreign country you will have no where to store your luggage until check in time at 17h. The passages to the rooms are not clean and cursory cleaning is done of your room when you are staying there. The worst is if you have booked a quiet room on the courtyard when you arrive you will be told in no uncertain manner that you don't have a room on the courtyard but on the street and that they are under no obligation to give you what you want. The nightclub noise on Saturday night resonates throughout the hotel as does the noise of all its revellers. No excuse given.
