Left Bank/Luxembourg hotel

We're planning a trip to Paris in September and I'm debating hotels. Still looking for that perfect hotel after many trips to Paris. Prefer the left bank, Luxembourg garden area, small, elegant quiet hotels with comfortable beds.

Looking at -

Hotel Baume - excellent reviews, great area - but so much less expensive than some of the others we are considering. Has anyone been there and is it really as nice as it seems?
Hotel Buci
Hotel des Grand Hommes - a bit out of our usual stomping grounds but well priced
Hotel Luxembourg Parc
Hotel Reclaimer

Has anyone stayed at these hotels and what are your thoughts?

Many thanks!!

We stayed at Hotel Baume for 4 nights in 2023. Nice hotel and nicely located, but I thought it was un peut cher - a bit dear.

We ended up having to stay an extra night in Paris, thanks to British Airlines’ flight cancellation and we found a nice alternative close to Place St Michel for well over 100 Euros less, it might have been the Hotel Royal St Michel on Rue Saint Severain - I am not sure.

For a 100 Euro plus a night savings, just think of all the better meals you can afford!

But if a more elegant hotel bear the Luxembourg Gardens is where your dreams are, then sweet dreams.

We've stayed a couple of times at the Hotel des Grandes Hommes. It's across the street from the Pantheon, and a 5-6 min walk to the Luxembourg RER station. A small boutique hotel with charming, candy box rooms- very classic French decor, and attentive and helpful staff.
