"Multiple hotels called d'Angleterre...but this is the one you want!"
A TripAdvisor Member Jul 5, 2005
Some friends of mine, who travel to Paris often, highly recommended the Hôtel d'Angleterre for my first trip to the city... Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I booked the other Hôtel d'Angleterre at 91 rue La Boétie that I realized my mistake (which explains a couple of the reviews for this property on this site). Fortunately, my friends pointed out my mistake before I left for my vacation, and I was able to book the right hotel and get off with a 3% cancellation charge for the other.Please note that there are at least two other hotels in Paris with this same d'Angleterre name, but I believe that most people are looking for the one at 44 rue Jacob. So double-check the hotel's address before booking...and because its a hard site to google.

"A must stay!"
ccsNy, NY, NY Aug 25, 2005
This hotel is a must stay. Please note, there is another hotel in Paris with this name which I'm told is a dump. THIS hotel is at 44 Rue Jacob on the left bank. It was charming, the location was fantastic and the rooms were clean and spacious. I'll elaborate on each of these. Charming - this is where Hemmingway used to stay. It's not a luxurious hotel like the Ritz or something completely upscale, but if you're not looking for the Ritz and want a great hotel, this is a great find. The complimentary breakfast in the morning is a delicious, typical French breakfast; croissants, yogurt, cheese, fresh juice, tea, coffee - all very fresh and delicious. Location - on a quiet block just off the beaten path from everything. You can walk 3 minutes to the underground, or all the cafes and shopping you want. If you leave the hotel and walk to the left for a few blocks, this area, the Latin Quarter, was really buzzing with people late in the evening. It's also a short, nice walk to Notre Dame and other wonderful tourist attractions. Clean - very clean from the mattress to the bathroom, to the towels, etc. and trust me, I'm very picky about cleanliness.Spacious - IF you choose the cheapest room, they are small, but still very lovely. The size of rooms in a typical Paris hotel. If you choose any room on up in price, the rooms are VERY good size. Much bigger than most I've seen. It's worth it if you want the space. We stayed in room 25 and loved it. The bathroom was spacious with beautiful torquoise tile and a jacuzzi jet tub. The view was of the couryard in the center and we could see Sacre Coeur in the distance. Front desk - Each of the gentleman at the front desk were very helpful and spoke wonderful English. They also let us keep our bags there the entire day after we checked out until it was time to go to the airport. Overall, I would choose this hotel over most I've stayed in in the States, and that's saying a lot, considering most people dislike Paris hotels.

"Never Fails to Impress"
A TripAdvisor Member, Belfast Aug 27, 2005
Have now stayed in this hotel 3 times in the last year and it never fails to impress. This is not some corporate 4 or 5 star that looks the same in any city of he world. It is a small, local Hotel in a brilliant part of Paris. The rooms are all individual and vary in size, shape and style. All the ones we have used have had great character and been very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. When we ordered some champage they had just run out - so they sent someone out to fetch some for us. Its that sort of place. The buffet breakfast included in the tarrif is slightly limited in choice but the quality is first class. Above all, the location is superb. Rue Buci is 5 mins one way and Boulevard St Germain (and the Metro station) is 3 mins the other. it is also surrounded by superb restaurants of every type from creperie to boulevard cafe to haute cuisisne. A fantastic base to see Paris.

"Charming, home away from home."
A TripAdvisor Member, Minneapolis, Minnesota Oct 22, 2005
We stayed at the Hotel D'Angleterre for our 10th wedding anniversary, and first trip to Paris. The hotel was charming and comfortable. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. It truly felt like our home for the time we spent there. The neighborhood is outstanding, walking distance to the Louvre, Notre Dame, etc. and great restaurants. The staff were kind and accommodating in every way. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

"Superb"
Fly_Easyjet, Belfast UK Nov 4, 2005
Our third visit and this time stayed in Room 51 - a suite right a the top of the house. It's 3 storeys (60 steps) up, but worth every huff and puff of the way. A huge suite of rrooms with carved stone fireplace in the large bedrrom and high beamed ceiling (around 20 feet high) with the original 16th century beams. Even the toilet door is around 300 years old! There is a second sleeping platform over the lounge (which itself is about 20ft x25 ft and contains a fridge and fitted kitchen should you wish to prepare something).Staff very apologetic about the climb but as usual the service was fantastic., They were polite and helpful at every turn. Good buffet continental breakfast and fantastic location.

"Tres Charmant"
aubergine1, New York Nov 15, 2005
Lovely small hotel in a fabulous location. Rue Jacob is blocks away from the Seine, many galleries, antique shops, Laduree on the corner.We had two rooms across the hall from each other. One streetside, one courtyard view. Staff helpful with dinner reservations, taxis, information, etc. Breakfast included consisted of coffee, tea, chocolat chaud, fresh croissants, baked goods, fruit.Looking forward to returning next year!

"Lived up to the Reviews"
jmcb, Dublin, Ireland Mar 4, 2006
Read the reviews - knew the location well so decided to stay here with my husband during the recent Ireland v France 6 Nations (but we extended our stay). It was perfect. Charming, friendly and helpful people. Our room was no. 46 (or was it 45?) but it is the room off the back of the courtyard. It is dark but cosy - with a wonderful stone fireplace (not functional). Queen sized (by British/Irish standards) bed which was extremely comfortable. VVery large (in comparison to many other Parisan 3 stars I have stayed in) and has the most beautiful bathroom complete with roll top bath and villeroy and bosch ware. Towels changed daily and soaps, etc replenished. Breakfast fine (which is included in price) but you can top up with ham, eggs etc if you want (but this is Paris and there are so many options for lunch that you do not want to fill up too much!). There is a perfect little table and chairs outside of the room in the courtyard where (I imagine) in fine weather it would be nice to relax pre-dinner. All in all I was more than pleased with this Hotel and fully intend to stay on my next trip to Paris - a perfect location if, like me, you are a Left Bank lover.

"Wonderful charm"
A TripAdvisor Member Mar 9, 2006
This is such a wonderful hotel. Incredibly romantic.We booked the Nr. 51 apartement (three stories up, no elevator, but worth the climb). It's like travelling back in time: exposed wooden beams, big stone fire places, old wooden double doors.....I sort of felt like a princess. I would certainly recommend it to couples who a looking for a romantic weekend in Paris.

"Lovely stay at the D'angleterre"
A TripAdvisor Member Mar 28, 2006
We had a wonderful weekend stay at the D'angleterre. We stayed in room 42 in the back annex and were so pleased. The room (up a narrow staircase) but they were happy to assist with our bags, was large, airy and overlooked the lovely courtyard. We experienced no problems with noise or construction. Decorated in a blue provisional motif, the ceiling had beautiful wood beams, there was a lovely non-working fireplace, comfortable sitting area, and impeccably clean bathroom, with nice ammenities. The staff was pleasant and the breakfast was perfect. A croissant and cafe au lait is all you need before setting off on a day to explore this beautiful city. The location couldn't be beat. An easy walk to the Musee D'orsay, the Louvre, and Notre Dame. I would definitely stay at the Angleterre again.

"Loved the Angleterre"
almas, Providence RI Mar 30, 2006
I stayed here twice, once in January and once in March, for several days each stay, visiting my daughter who is studying in Paris. The first stay, I booked a single room, but was upgraded (at no charge) by the staff to a first floor suite because of construction noise. The suite was enormous -- think American business hotel standards -- and very clean. It looked out onto the courtyard. For my second stay I booked a superior double, in the front of the hotel overlooking Rue Jacob. Again a very large room with a large clean modern bathroom and thick towels. Both rooms had a safe. The hotel's public spaces are clean although the staircase (even though charming) is old and can use upgrading. Both stays my daughter joined me for breakfast, and the hotel did not charge me for the extra breakfast. The staff also allowed her to use the internet for a very nominal fee (2 Euros for about 30 min). A large glass of wine at the hotel bar is only 4 euros, cheap for that neighborhood. The front door is locked after about 10 pm, although there is a doorbell and 24 hour front desk service. The neighborhood is fantastic, and not at all touristy -- real French people live on rue Jacob, and you do not get the hordes of high school students on class trips that you see on the Champs Elysee. I definitely would stay at the d'Angleterre again.

"Character and location"
LongPaddock, Sydney Jun 20, 2006
Having recommended this hotel based on The Economist Cities Guide web recommendation to our accompanying new-to-Paris friends, it was with some trepidation that we arrived for 4 nights. It was the first stop on our combined 30th wedding anniversary 5 week European tour. No need for trepidation - it was the most characterful and best located hotel we stayed in on the entire trip!The staff were helpful, the rooms (down the back, up the steep staircase, numbers 41 and 42 from memory) were clean and large (I've stayed in Parisian shoeboxes before). The breakfast comprised good bread/pastries, good coffee and proper leaf tea in a teapot served in very good tableware in an imposing room. The bar and courtyard tables were very relaxing after a big day. The location was so convenient to the big sights that our first-time-in-Paris friends had to see as well as some of the lesser sights of interest to us.They don't take bookings through travel agents and require a substantial deposit. And there is a good reason - they don't need much help in filling the place. Next time in Paris this is where we will be.

"Ideal Location"
A TripAdvisor Member, Walnut Creek, CA Jul 14, 2006
Our family of four stayed in the suite at ideally located small, older hotel. The hotel had a lot of pluses, but also some minuses. On the plus side, we were able to walk to everywhere from here. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and spoke English. The bathroom in our suite was the biggest we saw in Europe. The breakfast, which was included, had the best croissants we've ever had, and don't miss the coffee with steamed milk and real hot chocolate. The suite was large, with a huge crystal chandelier, high wood beam ceiling, and built in wardrobe. The room had a safe, so we didn't have to carry around all of our valuables. On the downside, the chandelier rattled whenever the people upstairs walked around, which they seemed to do all night long. Bed linens were clean, but nothing special, and due for a replacement soon. Staircase to second floor rooms reflects the fact that the hotel has been around a couple hundred years! Overall, we found it comfortable, friendly, reasonably priced for four, and we would stay again.

"Loved it"
maxifun, Swansea Aug 8, 2006
Just returned from a weekend stay at this hotel. We loved it. Location was wonderful being walking distance from the Louve, River, Latin Quarter ,notre dame etc. but very peaceful. Rue Jacob is a charming street in the heart of Saint Germain but in the peaceful part with a smattering of hotels and upmarket shops. Some parts of the area are quite busy. Plenty of places nearby to eat. We had a classic room which we thought was charming and so French.It had old fashioned windows and shutters that opened out onto the courtyard. The bed was large and comfortable,linen clean etc. The room was large with a safe,desk ,chair, 2 easy chairs and coffee table and a TV. It was very large and the equally large bathroom had the largest roll top bath I have seen. There was a large fireplace and the ceiling had lovely thick old beams. Breakfast was great and taken in the tapestry walled dining room or the courtyard which was filled with flowers and shrubs.The staff were very welcoming and helpful and always polite and cheerful.Iwould definitely go back there again.

Where to start? Wonderful location with eateries, antique shops and within easy walk to The Louvre and Notre Dame. The Manager exuded Gallic charm and the room was relatively luxurious for the price ( not cheap but you do get what you pay for ) Highly recommended!

My experience with this property took place in:
April, 2006
As avid fashion victims, my wife and I love St Germain shopping. The hotel is very convenient to that and to museums as well. Certainly its proximity to Flore and Deux Magots is another asset. The rooms give a feeling of history and connection with why we come to Paris again and again. A charming visit, at worst efficiently commercial, at best an ingenious solution to finding a base in Paris.
