About Hotel Cluny Sorbonne in Paris
You will find the family friendly Hotel Cluny Sorbonne is located right by famous universities including opposite the Universite de La Sorbonne, which is how come this hotel got its name, along with many other Paris tourist attractions including the Luxembourg Gardens and the renowned Pantheon in the 5th Arrondissement and is classed as a budget 2 star hotel in Paris. It is located within a historical mansion house that was once owned by nobility before becoming a place for workers and those with very little money, and even the poet Arthur Rimbaud once stayed here in the June of 1872.

Services and Facilities at Hotel Cluny Sorbonne
Having been family run for many years, Hotel Cluny Sorbonne still retains much of its original character and people can even stay in the same small room as Arthur Rimbaud, yet eventually becoming a 2 star hotel they offer a 24 hour reception with English speaking staff, a luggage hold, free WiFi and a French continental style breakfast, so hence it is still classed as a budget hotel in Paris.
You will find a plaque on the facade of this budget hotel in Paris relating to this recognised French poet, with other reminders of him also throughout the city such as the Allee Arthur Rimbaud, and inside the building still has the original staircase. However, the reception and lobby where there is also a small lounge area of Hotel Cluny Sorbonne, is very brightly decorated with yellow and although there is an exceptionally tiny lift it is not disabled friendly due to the type of building and stairs having to be negotiated in various places, plus there is no air conditioning, yet it does have a small breakfast room area.
