Great hotel in 5th.

Oratio is the perfect boutique hotel for a Paris getaway. Great design and amenities and a very convenient location for the metro and more.

I stayed here for a few nights and would absolutely stay here again. The location is great, staff was helpful and nice decor is always a plus.

Very clean, in a quiet street off of St.Germain. The rooms are not huge but that is normal in Paris. Bathroom good size. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Supermarket in front of the hotel. Restaurants and metro within walking distance. definitely recommend.

Ultimately we had a wonderful stay. However, our first night we were placed in a room on the ground floor. The room had one window that had a direct line of sight to the lobby and the sidewalk entry (front doors are glass). We live in a city so are used to some exposure to neighbors, but anyone walking by the hotel would have been able to see directly into our room and the bed. Fortunately, they were able to move us to an upper floor for the remainder of our stay. Of note, we saw another guest room that opens directly on the lobby, which some guests may not be comfortable with.

The best selling point for this hotel is the staff - unbelievable kind and hospitable....everyone we encountered was lovely and tried to help us with anything we asked. Also loved the honor bar and the availability of refillable water bottles for your room.

Great location and friendly staff. In the heart of the Latin Quarters.

I liked the location and the price. In fact I liked it so much I am coming back this July (2019)

This was my third stay at this hotel. I will definitely be back. The hotel staff are so helpful and kind.

Great location which is why this was our second stay here. But, be warned: rooms are very small!

Excellent location, staff very attentive, very clean

Welcoming front desk staff, rooms small but clean and comfortable. Location in a safe neighborhood easily accessible. Restaurants and shops nearby, as well. Good value and nice boutique hotel.

agora st germain was a nice basic hotel. staff was friendly. elevator went out twice during stay and we needed to climb 7 flights to our room. they did get the technician out quickly to repair though. the room was small but somehow my husband i did fine on the full size bed. room was clean enough and same for bath. had not stayed in the latin quarter before (dont be fooled by the name - it is near boulevard st germain but not in that location) and it was a bit noisy for our tastes.

The hotel staff was great, room was sizable. Location was great - metro line was very close to access the city. The only negative thing we could say was that the hotel cleaning staff often disregarded the do not disturb signs, but we just went and grabbed a snack when this happened so the staff could clean the room. This hotel was outstanding for the price.

The hotel was poorly staffed, no manager. Started off with wrong type of beds. Safe didn't work and clean up was poor, (papers and trash left in room) to 1 day nothing at all. Toiletries not left, towels not left. It was a very uncomfortable situation. Great location.

We arrived for a second time in Paris and decided St. Germaine would be lovely. Based on reviews and photos we booked this hotel. The hotel exterior was typical with a 70's dated sign. Lobby was dark and dingy. Staff friendly. Our room on ground floor was atrocious. Nothing like the photos- not light, soiled carpet, walls were scratched up, ceiling had water spots. Could here and feel the metro, when other people used the toilet and shower and every time a door closed- though was told it was sound proof.

Really like this hotel, Small but Cozy, Excellent use of the small space. I like this hotel a lot, will come back to stay again if return to Paris.

The staff was terrific. They helped us locate our missing credit card. The air conditioning was excellent, which was absolutely necessary as the temperature soared into the 90's. We would definitely book again.

Great hotel, loved the area, the staff were fantastic!

Hotel was in very accessible area to Metro and such. In need of some upgrades to the rooms. Rooms quite small
