Does anyone know if the five hotel is in a good location for being close to restaurants,shops, excitement? This hotel is getting great reviews...but no one says its location is good?

Do you mean the George V? If you do than it%26#39;s in a very upscale neighborhood between the River Seine and the Champs-Elyeese. Upscale shops and restaurants. Do a TA review on the hotel and they will map the location for you.

If you%26#39;re staying at Le Cinq I guess taxis are affordable?
It%26#39;s about a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest Metro from Le Cinq. The location isn%26#39;t as fantastic as say, The Ritz, but it is an amazing hotel. You will probably not even notice the location because you won%26#39;t leave the hotel!

No Not George the V. Its supposedly called the five hotel, chic and in the 5e arrondissement area. Can anyone suggest a similar hotel but in a more convenient location??? something under $300 would be perfect!

I believe you are talking about The Five Hotel on rue Flatters in the 5eme?
My understanding is that the hotel itself is quiet but near what you seek.
This was posted by a TA reviewer early last month
%26lt;%26lt;The hotel is only a few minutes walk to Rue Mouffetard which is a bustling street full of small shops, cafes, bars and restaurants and we were able to find plenty of places to enjoy dinner here. For something a bit more special there is a restaurant very close to the hotel, Au Petit Marguery , it was worth paying a little extra for this delightful meal and the restaurant seemed full of local Parisians which added to the atmosphere.
The hotel is well located for walking through the Latin Quarter and up to the Left Bank, Notre Dame etc. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for somewhere to spend a romantic few days in Paris.%26gt;%26gt;
Which says it all really!

Thanks for the advice..It sounds like a fabulous hotel. I just am hoping that it is not in the middle of No Where? and completely off the beaten path?
|||
The 5eme is a central area with plenty in walking distance. Lots of people love the Latin Quarter.

Try the Hotel Nepoleon. Half a block from the Arc. Great hotel, great location. Family run since 1924. Old time luxury. O. Wells, J. Baker, E. Flynn were frequent guests. For specifics view their web site.

The relatively %26#39;new%26#39; FIVE HOTEL (3-star) 3 rue Flatters (nr: Blvd. de Port-Royal) 75005, Metro: Les Gobelins and Censier-Daubenton (#7); RER: Port Royal (%26#39;B%26#39;)-- http://www.thefivehotel.com/ is a recent, gutting %26amp; major renovation, 3-star upgrade and reincarnation of the old, very basic, 1-star, Hôtel Flatters.
The owners of the Five Hôtel also appears to be offering another %26#39;hotel-within-a-hotel%26#39;--ONE by the FIVE-- http://www.onebythefive.com/ --(3 penthouse rooms/suites) within this same building...a somewhat novel concept.
The FIVE HÔTEL%26#39;s location (at: rue Flatters %26amp; Blvd. de Port Royal) is approx. 2.5 km south (approx. 20-25 min walking distance--7 mins via #7 Metro)) of the Seine, in the lower portion of the 5eme-Latin Quarter. As noted, it is near to the lower-end of the rue Monge. This immediate neighborhood (predominently residential) of the lower-5eme isn%26#39;t likely to provide much in the way of %26quot;..excitement..%26quot; day or night...but its relative proximity to %26#39;the rest of Paris%26#39; is fairly convenient--approx. 20-25 min walking distance to the Seine--5 mins via #7 Metro.
Though perhaps not quite as self-consciously %26#39;hip%26#39; as the Five, also check out (check for any special internet promotional rates) the ARTUS HÔTEL (3-star)--34 rue de Buci (nr: Blvd Saint Germain) 75006, Metro: Odéon-- http://www.artushotel.com/e/hotel/

I don%26#39;t know the hotel, but Au Petit Marguery is actually in the 13th, not the 5th. It%26#39;s a wonderful little bistro, however, and worth the métro ride to get there.
