LE LITTRE ^{* * * *}

An bit pricey at 4-stars but absolutely spectacular boutique hotel situated on a very obscure street in the Saint-Placide/Montparnasse area of the Arrondissement 5.
The doorway is a nice beginning to an "explosion" of open and modern décor maximized in a surprisingly small area. The staff is friendly and genuinely welcoming and were VERY TOLERANT of my poor high school French. Always very helpful and accommodating with any of our needs.
The foyer opens to a second level open concept lounge area with a bar (sadly we never had time to enjoy it...) and an open set of stairs down into another huge lounge area which which is the morning breakfast area.
The breakfasts are full and excellent with a complete range of choices that anyone could want. (Be sure to look into the smaller seating room for juices, cereals and yoghurts. We were so impressed with the selections in the main room we didn't see it for two mornings!!!!) The main servery has a range of salads, fresh meats, hot buffet items and many delicious fresh breads, croissants and danishes. SUPERB!!!!
The hallways are extremely narrow but motion-activated lighting is an excellent energy saver. The room was light and airy and the bed was a very generous "double" which was actually two single frames.
The bathroom was fully equipped with luxury items around double sinks, a full bathtub and a glass-doored shower. BE CAREFUL of the fixtures for the water temperature. They are different than North American nozzles and their HOT WATER is EXCESSIVELY/SCALDING HOT. That could be turned down by the management for more energy savings.
Someone commented previously about the small, single elevator.
Your baggage is brought up for you after your arrival and although the CAPACITY IS 8...I find that hard to believe. We never had an issue with it in the six nights we were there.
The street has a few small bistros and the FORUM CAFE at the end of the street, A 5-10 minute walk to the top of the street and the busy restaurant-filled MONTPARNASSE intersection or head north to the Saint-Placide intersection for bistro patios on three corners. METRO stations at each as well.

My Husband and I had been in and out of a variety of hotels on a 20 day group tour by the time we hit this gem and gosh weren’t we thankful!

Absolutely beautiful rooms and hotel- we managed to book a room looking at the Eiffel Tower and we could have sat there all day everyday on the balcony.

Lovely and clean, great bed and TV that hooks up to devices to stream when you want a quiet day or night in.

Aircon was great and could also open windows and French doors when you liked too.

Very close to the metro which we used a lot- also very easy to navigate and the staff were very friendly with any questions.

Ironing boards and irons are available FOC from reception and also umbrellas.

Bags can be held until departure time if needed.

Fridge in room which was nice and also a kettle- you would just need to buy milk if needed as it’s not supplied.

Breakfast was great! All kinds of pastries and options available- hot and cold.

Lovely sitting area near reception- bar and also office space with computers and printers for those working.

Would LOVE to stay again next time we are in Paris!

Highly recommend this lovely spot- also- a few great patisseries on the same street too.

We stayed there twice. Our first room was wonderful. Our second room’s design was unusual because the separate toilet on the side of the bedroom from the bathroom. Therefore you had to go across the bedroom to wash your hands. Otherwise everything was exceptional! The staff was absolutely amazing! The breakfasts were incredible! The doormen were so wonderfully helpful!! Love this hotel!!

This hotel was amazing! From the service and hospitality to the location, we really felt like we made a wonderful choice in accommodations. The breakfast in the morning was just right and we appreciated the assistance from the staff with directions and dinner recommendations. Highly recommend this hotel!

Just stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. The location is perfect, right down the street from shops, cafes and patisseries. Not a long distance from the most popular areas of Paris, easy to navigate and travel to. The staff were so welcoming and helpful! The rooms were beautiful (we had one overlooking the gorgeous courtyard). The breakfast in the mornings was delicious with large selection! I will definitely be back!
