Set in a charming 19th‑century building, Hotel du Brésil comprises 29 modest yet comfortable rooms, served by an elevator, nestled in vibrant and historic Latin Quarter. From the lobby, guests are welcomed into a cozy atmosphere, complete with a TV lounge and reading corner filled with students and thoughtful travelers.

The hotel is just steps away from Luxembourg Gardens, the Panthéon, the Sorbonne, and Luxembourg RER station, making Paris at your fingertips. A fascinating fact: Sigmund Freud lived here from 1885 to 1886, adding an intellectual allure. 

Rooms are relatively compact—a frequent remark—but come with a desk, TV, private bathroom (shower or tub), hairdryer, free Wi‑Fi, heating and AC, plus safety deposit boxes at the front desk. Some rooms feature double-glazed windows for added tranquility in this lively area.

Guests appreciate the continental breakfast served in a cozy dining space—offering good value. The multilingual staff (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish) is praised for its discreet and professional welcome. 

The atmosphere draws a diverse mix: couples, families (quadruple rooms available), students, business travelers—quiet and refined even amid the neighborhood’s buzz. Anecdotes abound: the “tiny bathroom” anecdote often brings a smile, and some find room size small relative to price—but the unbeatable location compensates.

Practical services include a 24‑hour reception, express check‑in/out, luggage storage, elevator, wheelchair‑accessible rooms, and an airport shuttle—though no onsite parking. Laundry/ironing service, safety deposit boxes, and show booking service are also available.

Just beyond the doorstep, guests can immerse themselves in Paris: cafés, small restaurants (like nearby Le Saigon d’Antan), independent bookstores, and student life. It’s an authentic stay, literary in spirit—perfect for those wanting to feel the heart of the 5th arrondissement.
