Le Vert Galant - Auberge Etchegorry

Lovely three-day stay at this small but charming Auberge. The hotel and restaurant staff were accommodating and helpful esp booking our taxi every time we needed one. The hotel's breakfast was filling. Free coffee from their coffee machine throughout the day. Not to forget, we had an enjoyable lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Service was great, provided by charming staff. The restaurant staff also willingly booked taxis for us. That's what we call excellent service! Location was ideal. Next to the Metro station and buses that took us directly to our destinations. The hotel is within walking distance to a big mall and the Chinatown area - Avenue Choisy! We were also intrigued by the hotel's historical association with Victor Hugo!

We stayed in December 2022. Up the hill is the Corvisart Metro, a book store, small grocer, a nice open air market, and Boulangerie L'Essential. Across the the street is a park. Downhill is Les Gobbelins Metro and grocery. The hotel has garden courtyard and an excellent restaurant. The owner, the staff, and housekeeping was good and friendly. Everything was clean. Wifi was strong. Other guests nice to visit with. Room setup: We were in room 11. It was up some stairs in a quiet hallway. To get to the room, enter from street, pass through reception, and walk out and across small garden courtyard. Our room had a private bathroom, windows, and TV. On the desk were the local historical journals on the 13th Arrondissement. The hotel has breakfast for 13E but we were always on the go so we opted for the neighborhood boulangeries. The hotel is near Metro lines 6 (Corvisart) and 7 (Les Gobbelins) lines. From CDG Airport take RER-B to Denfert-Rochereau Metro Station and transfer to the #6 towards Nation--get off at Corvisart. After a day, it was easy to blend in the quiet neighborhood and enjoy the Christmas offerings. Things nearby: The hotel has a restaurant which is outstanding. Up the hill is one boulangerie and Cafe Havana. Place d'Italie has mall, pubs, bistros, and shopping. Near Denfert-Rochereau is the Catcombs, a chocolatier, and other shopping. The #6 line takes you Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, and Eifel Tower. The #7 line to Pont Neuf, Notre Dame, The Louvre, and for us the Christmas Market by the Jardin des Tuileries.

-Staff were very kind and professional. -Restaurant beside (same owner) was delicious and the staff were very pleasant and courteous. -Garden was very pretty and was a nice touch given you are in the middle of Paris -room was spacious and comfortable -location about a 40 min walk from Seine (st germain des pres/notre dame)

The staff were extremely helpful and even organised a gluten free breakfast for me. When they heard that I was eating in the restaurant, they brought the gluten free bread to the restaurant so that I could order the meal I wanted and have the full restaurant experience. As a coffee enthusiast I enjoyed that there was always cappuccinos available no matter what time of day. As a solo traveller I felt safe in the hotel and area around, the staff took the time to give me advice about travelling in the area and kindly stored my bags for me after check out so that I could continue exploring before my late night flight.

It was a quiet place and the size of the room was very good. The toilet was separated from the shower and I must say that I loved that. They have a restaurant next door and it was delicious! They offer complementary tea and coffee <3
