We had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Abbatial for nearly two weeks during the Paris Olympics, and we couldn't have been more satisfied with our experience. I needed to make changes to our reservation multiple times, and Karim and Veronique at the front desk were incredibly accommodating. They were always friendly, helpful, and in great spirits, making each interaction a pleasure as we came and went from the hotel daily.
The hotel itself is beautifully designed, and the service was impeccable. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.
It was our first time staying in the Saint-Germain neighborhood, and we’ve already decided we’ll never stay anywhere else. The location is unbeatable — a small supermarket across the street, a bicycle rental shop just a block away, and Notre-Dame just down the road. One of our favorite spots, the charming Île Saint-Louis, was a short walk away. If you’re feeling adventurous, Le Marais and the Louvre are just across the river.
While the other side of the Seine is beautiful, we found it far too busy for our taste, especially when trying to enjoy a bike ride, which was our preferred way to explore Paris. Saint-Germain, however, had the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility, making it an ideal base for our trip.
