First of all IMO there are certain things to expect from a budget hotel in a major European city. Small room, noise, old furniture that said I LOVE Familia Hotel. We've stayed there twice. The location is great. Staff was very friendly & helpful. We traveled with our 3 year old daughter and they were quick to greet her and... More

I stayed there for a week and had no problem at all. The hotel is located just a block from Saint-Germain-des-Prés, there are bus stops, vélibs and two subway stations nearby. There are ATMs and pharmacies around the area if you need. The hotel is neat and clean. I'd stay there again. More

This time around we visited over the... More

You get what you pay for. We had two rooms: a double and triple. The triple was a double room with a rollaway. With the rollaway, there was almost no open floor space in the room. Even the double room was tiny...and that is measuring it by European standards. I've been in bigger walk-in closets. Noise is a significant factor.... More

A perfectly satisfactory hotel in a very good location. Very friendly staff contrary to other reviews. Great price for continental breakfast at €6. Even for Paris space is at a premium but that is the only downside. More

I am rarely moved enough to write TripAdvisor reviews. I have written one before, for particularly stellar service, and here I am again...this time for particularly horrible service. Hotel Familia is the perfect place to stay while getting to know Paris, and all of the staff are very friendly--except for Laurent, one of the night clerks. I read a Foursquare... More

This was not our first time in Paris and I was well prepared for small rooms and cramped quarters so that is not an issue with this review. We spent four nights here and as a seasoned traveler have never been treated with such disdain from such a rude front desk staff. To start with out bathtub leaked all over... More

This is a fantastic hotel really well located. The staff are lovely and really knowledgeable about the local and main area. We were really fortunate staying on the top floor as we had a view (over a few rooftops) of Notre Dame. It was near two Metro stations, although in Paris you are never far from a Metro station!

I stayed at the Familia Hotel for 3 nights while in Paris. I feel I really got what I paid for. Everything was ok. The location was ok. It was a short walk to the subway and to the Notre Dame Cathedral.The room was really dark and small( I'm guessing "small" is what I'm going to find anywhere in Paris).... More
