The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived and our room smelled of smoke (it is a non smoking hotel) reception immediately upgraded us to a junior suite that was incredible. The most comfortable bed, the most luxurious bathroom with double shower and huge stand alone tub with tv on the wall. The room was very spacious and staff were excellent. The breakfast was outstanding, the lounge offered drinks and snacks. The spa was included with our stay and a great place to relax in the hot tub and steam room/sauna. The Latin quarter is only a ten minute taxi ride (do not take Uber it was twice the price!) I highly recommend this property."

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect, steps away from the Latin Quarter and the Spanish Arch. The hotel was very safe and offered breakfast as well as a lounge/bar area that served food. There is also a large outdoor area with picnic tables and seating that is next to the river. The staff were very helpful in recommending food options and things to do in town. The rooms were nice, but smaller in the european style. The location is hard to beat, as you're in the middle of everything that downtown has to offer. I was very impressed by this place."
