We really liked this very clean and tidy, modern reasonably-priced hotel (small rooms, interior walls could be thicker, but no street noise).
Diana is situated between the Sorbonne and Cluny-Sorbonne/St Michel/NotreDame on the Left Bank. Very close to Notre Dame, Pantheon, Latin Quarter and St. Germain and lots of mass transit stations (RER to airports, Batobus on-off river boats, metro to everywhere).
Walking distance to the Right Bank and Jardin des Plantes (we highly recommend the old, 19th c. museum of Paleontology and Comparative Zoology over the modern Museum of Natural History and its hall of evolution -- though both are worthwhile). Lots of nice restaurants on Rue Mouffetard. The area near the Pantheon has lots of students, bars, and cafes. La Creperie on Rue St. Jacques facing the Pantheon is awesome. For us the Pantheon was a highlight of our trip with an amazing 360 degree panorama of Paris (albeit many steps up), a sacred place for France and the Enlightenment.
We highly recommend getting bread and pastries for takeout from La Maison d'Isabelle, not to be deterred by the lines that form. The Musée de Cluny just around the corner is not to be missed (Roman baths and unicorn tapestries).
