Stayed here many many years ago and really it is as charming. We arrived and waited a few mins to be told we could choose from 3 rooms and chose to take the top floor room 18. It is large by Parisien standards and cosy. It was very very cold in Paris but our room was toasty and welcoming. We... More

My wife and I, in our early 60’s, stayed at the Hotel Esmeralda for four nights in January, 2012. It has a GREAT location. The RER stop from De Gaulle airport is just a block or two away from the hotel. The stop also serves the Metro. It is literally across the Seine from Notre Dame and we have great... More

the location literally could not have been better and the rates were totally reasonable. it is a little quirky, that is about as well as i can describe it. very eclectic decor but free wireless and wonderfully helpful staff. once again the location and price make it amazing for a traveling student! you can walk easily to the Louvre, the...

We have stayed many times at this friendly hotel. Overlooking Notre Dame Cathedral, it must have the best view in Paris, and the staff are really helpful. Full of character, featured in a children's story, this is the place to stay if you don't mind quirky small rooms and narrow stairs. 5 mins walking distance from the RER to CDG,... More

My husband and I backpacked through Europe together before we got married and this was our favorite place! We were on a tiny budget then and we "splurged" on this hotel! The Spanish staff was very nice and the owner was a one eyed lady that added to the charm. The place was built in 1600 and it looks close... More

Wonderful location at an unbeatable price. If you want luxury go elsewhere but if you want a clean room with no frills in a charming building this is perfect. More

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Esmeralda immensely. The location is superb: my granddaughter enjoyed sitting in her window ledge and gazed over to Notre Dame or the little park below. The restaurants and little labes of the latin quarter are all close by as are the two islands of the city, the metro, the bateaubus, and shopping. The owners... More

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Esmeralda. My children love the book "Linnea in Monet's Garden" so spending the night there was a must on our trip to Paris. My kids loved the lobby and stairs, that look just like they do in the book. They also loved the teeny-tiny hallways. We stayed on a Sunday night in... More

Hotel Esmeralda is located in the Latin Quarter, right on the Seine with a view of Notre Dame from many of the rooms. My boyfriend and I stayed here and were incredibly pleased with the hotel. It's situated in a nice area and is a good launch-pad for exploring Paris. In terms of services, the hotel is no-frills. There isn't... More

We stayed at Hotel Esmeralda over 18 years ago and wanted to come back. Still has charming rooms, with parisian decor. Our room had a great view of Notre Dame Cathedral. Staff were friendly and accomodating, but you still need to grab your bags and climb up the narrow spiral staircase! Don't expect a 4 star hotel. This hotel is... More
