Mr & Mrs Smith

What a lovely hotel with such friendly and helpful staff. The entire hotel was beautifully decorated. Check out the nearby Prescription Cocktail club for a nightcap, it's a great scene with terrific drinks and excellent bartenders.

'The best thing about London is Paris', so said Diana Vreeland, and the best thing about Paris must be the profiteroles filled with ice-cream drizzled with hazelnuts and bathed in chocolate sauce at Cafe de Flore, an easy walk from Hotel Recamier. It oozes French glamour and is a favourite of Ines de la Fressange, who recommends not wearing red since you'll clash with the red decor downstairs. The salade Colette with shrimp and grapefruit is the perfect light lunch.

Very friendly and helpful service from all staff, by far the best we have ever received in Paris. There are plenty of reasonably priced restaurants nearby and we found somewhere good to eat both nights of our stay by just walking into a nice looking restaurant with no reservation.

Absolutely brilliant hotel. Perfect location right in the heart of St Germain. Stylish and elegant rooms. Very friendly and helpful service. A real gem.

The hotel is in a perfect location in St Germain, with a great buzz nearby but in a quiet location. The Marais is normally the place to go for falafel but Maoz in St Germain does it very well too. L'Epigramme is a great small restaurant in the area. The three course menu is reasonable and the atmosphere is fantastic. The food is very tasty too! Booking is essential as both times we were there it was completely full.
