Hotel Le Vert Galant

Great location, romantic garden, quiet area, very friendly staff We stayed there while it was 40 degrees in Paris. Unfortunately our room didn’t have air conditioning and the ventilator was not enough since the rooms heat up a lot during the day (even with blinds, doors, windows closed)

Le Vert Galant is a lovely place if you are in Paris for work and on your own (and probably even nicer if you are there on vacay with a partner!). My unit opened right onto the garden, and in early June you are greeted by the smell of the jasmine climbing up the walls. Not exactly what you expect to be smelling in Paris! My unit was like a tidy little ship cabin, everything efficiently thought out; I loved it, and will definitely return if I am in Paris on business. The feeling of the place is very private. One thing that is unusual and that I really appreciated is that everybody comes through the same front door, and through the little atrium area where breakfast is. So in the morning if you get breakfast on site, you see the reception staff interacting with the cleaning staff, and you see that it is truly a family operation. Employees greet each other on a first name basis, know what each other's work is, and clearly respect one another. This was heartening to me; cleaning staff are made to be invisible in American chain hotels, where you leave a tip to a faceless entity. The attention to my room at the Vert Galant was discrete and effective; even some days when I elected not to have my towels changed, I got new ones. The breakfast is 13 euros, the highlight of which was a whole glass of orange juice, fresh squeezed the evening prior!! If you are aiming to skip lunch, it is a very good deal. You get a soft-boiled egg, ham, and cheese on demand. The location is excellent. Across from an adorable park, yet very close to stops for two metro lines. The adjacent Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood is a fun place to go for a stroll with its colorful murals and neighborhood bars. The restaurant next door (same owners) is a a quality establishment, mostly frequented by French people and an older clientele. Sound insulation between the units (laterally) could be better? I was eager to never run into my neighbor because of whatever TMI he got from my bathroom (lol). That would definitely not dissuade me from returning, however. I liked the breakfast, but the vibe would have been better if it had been busier. So I wonder if a few changes could make the proposition more attractive? The bread and viennoiseries and accompanying butter (all delicious, mind you) could be made into a buffet situation, to allow people more choice. I felt bad not eating half my bread and butter and of course who was I to turn up my nose at a mini-croissant and a mini pain au chocolat (did I mention they were delicious?) in a basket right there on my table? Would I have made the healthy choice and abstained had it been a buffet? One can dream. :) The fruit cups could be eliminated--no one took them. There was a huge fruit basket, but who is going to carve up a pineapple on their little breakfast tray? A more practical, less decorative substitute would be a smaller basket of easy-to-handle fruit. IMHO all any tea drinker wants in the morning is some bad ass black tea that is fresh and strong, and boxes (coffrets) that include a whole bunch of herbal teas are just taking up counter space and getting in the way of black tea turnover. Again, these are more suggestions than criticisms. I enjoyed the breakfast, just wished more people were around.

We were visiting from Canada. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. I had a health issue and they were great at recommending a pharmacy and even made me some ginger tea! Our "Double Comfort" room was clean, and while not particularly large, did not feel restrictive. Having access to the courtyard addressed any space issues and was a lovely place to relax/have a drink. The attached restaurant was delicious and I am sad we didn't get to have more meals there. While a little off the beaten path, it was an easy enough walk to the Latin Quarter, and only a 5 minute walk from two subway lines that could get you anywhere you needed to go. The park across the street was also lovely. There were only minor things, like no tissue box in the room. The caulking around the bathtub could use a little refresh. It is also a room layout where the toilet is in a separate "room" from the bathtub and sink, which can be a little annoying, but it seems like it's a common feature for many hotels.

It’s a quiet place situated not far from Corvisart Metro station sur la magnifique M6. There is a beautiful parc just across the street and nice cafés and a shop (very useful). I also loved the breakfast, the little yard and the timeless decorations. Staff also helpful and kind. Arriving at the hotel late at night it wasn’t straightforward but staff was very helpful

A wonderful small family owned hotel about 20 min metro ride outside Paris center. Nice park across the street for a morning or evening stroll. Quiet neighborhood with easy 15 min or less walk to two metro lines. Not many tourists around here. A nice European style breakfast is offered. The resident cat may help escort you to your room.

There was no staff in the reception most of the time we needed them.

Nothing was bad

Great location: near an excellent Metro line and across from a lovely park. Homey feel. Very clean. Very quiet. Blackout curtains would be a good investment. I wanted a room with a view of the garden; I got lots of space but not much of a view (room 6). And my lock on the door was problematical. It only was fixed the day before I left.

Beautiful, cozy spot in a quiet, local neighborhood. Staff was friendly & very helpful and the breakfast was fabulous. The room was spacious and the bed was the comfiest of my Europe trip so far. After weeks of traveling, it truly felt like a little home away from home.

Staff was very accommodating. Quiet neighborhood, near several bus and metro stations. Loved the green space/garden. Definitely would stay again!!

My granddaughter and I enjoyed 4 nights at this adorable hotel in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to 3 metro stations which made exploring Paris easy.

Garden, forniture

The hotel is very cosy and located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We can also recommend the restaurant where we had a delicious lunch. We would stay here again, thank you.

Beautiful property with kind owners

It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The staff were polite and helpful and the breakfast was quite good. We could walk, Metro or bus anywhere in Paris from the hotel

The garden and the breakfast area are both lovely.
