Super quintessential French warmth and style down to the wallpaper & rich fabrics. Hotel Saint Germain Des Pres definitely leans more towards antique furnishings than modern, yet the flat screen TV and up-to-date bathrooms have all the comforts of today with the lovely charm of old France. Crisp sheets, comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet is definitely worth the 12 euros per person per day as the cafe creme is scrumptious, putting USA's Starbucks to shame; there's a fine basket of croissants, breads - both savory & sweet, sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, cereals, nuts, dried fruit, and the best scrambled eggs I've ever had in my entire life.
