We stayed 3 nights in late May. The rooms are small but well presented. It had everything we needed No complaints at all. It is a small basic hotel which serves its purpose. No other services really. There is no restaurant in the hotel but it serves a breakfast. It is not described as a tourist area but there were... More

this hotel was perfect if you want a clean, basic hotel. we did not eat in the hotel but the room was comfortable and very clean. the staff were very nice, professional and helpful. It was good access for the metro as we were spending 2 days at Roland Garros for the tennis. good restaurants nearby.

This hotel could easily be a 5 star; if it weren't for a few minor inconveniences. It is in the perfect location for getting around Paris by bus or train. It was a pleasure to walk across to their Monoprix (supermarket) which carried all you would need minus the "american branding". The staff is friendly and very helpful with everything... More

Although it was a little bit difficult to locate the entrance (a somewhat nondescript door next to the restaurant patio), I found the the Hotel du Lion the perfect place to stay during my 2012 Trip. The room was clean, with a large window and lovely city view. The staff was professional and attentive. I really enjoyed the location-- not... More

Location next to many restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and public transport (several metro lines and RER station that takes you, e.g. to airport), is ideal. Clean rooms have basic amenities: small room with toilet/shower with hair dryer, trouser press, tv (BBC showing as well as some French language channels) and safety box (3e per night). The room was a bit... More

Friendly staff, all fluent in English as well, of course, in French. Comfortable rooms, those on the top floors have a wonderful view of Ave Du Gen Leclerc and the famous "Lion of Denfert-Rochereau" and each room on the top stories seems to have a small balcony. Great location about a half a block from the RER B station and... More

Located less than a block from both the Orly Bus stop and the RER B Station add the super friendly staff plus some of the best bakeries in Paris within 100 meters of the hotel...what more could one ask for. I recommend this hotel even if it is a bit on the spendy side, you are after all in Paris.

I had not stayed at Hotel du Lion in three years. I was pleasantly surprised during my last visit in February when I stayed for two weeks. One of the important changes for me was the availability of wifi throughout the hotel. I was able to get work done as well as check for sites and events around Paris without... More

This was our third trip to Paris, and as we already knew where the Hotel du Lion was we chose to stay here for one night. It's easy to get to - just take the RER B from Charles de Gaulles airport or Gare du Nord station to Denfert Rochereau. The intersection is busy but we didn't hear the noise... More
