We like the Victoria Palace. Price points are a bit lower than the other hotels and it is truly a small, boutique hotel with large, charming rooms, nice marble bathrooms and excellent service. Located on the left bank between St. Germaine and Montparnasse. It has a lovely breakfast room and cozy, elegant lobby. I can highly recommend the hotel and my experiences there have been delightful. I've been there over 10 times in past 4 years with no issues.
