Marais Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Marais, Paris

"Great location and nice hotel. Friendly staff"

"I was in Paris traveling solo, and while I have been here many time, this was my first time staying near Bastille. The staff were all kind and helpful. The hotel is well situated near the Bastille metro, which is served by several useful lines around the city. My room was clean and quiet but *really*small, and it would have been useful to have been told that you must insert your key card into a slot near the door in order to turn on any lights! My one complaint was that there was one afternoon/evening when the only elevator was broken and I had to walk up six long and winding flights of stairs. Fortunately I am not elderly, have mobility issues, or wrestling with luggage at that time, as it would have been impossible to get to my room! In addition, there always seemed to be work being done, with alarm testing and construction. They were great about calling each guest to warn them about the alarm testing, but I had to squeeze around ladders, etc. "

"Simple but adequate room: you get what you pay for. But first night a ceiling water leak near the toilet. Dripping every 5 seconds, audible even through the closed door (and you hear the neighbors snore). Reported it in the morning. Passed by during the day and asked if it was fixed: confirmed: returned at 10pm: nothing done, leak still dripping: complained to the front desk :Reply "Not my problem, I am not going to apologize for it, fully booked nothing can be done: want free breakfast to get you out off your bad mood?" What kind of customer service is that. The next day it was fixed but they still denied it ever happened. "

"Solid, well-priced room. This hotel earns all 3 of its stars well and is a well-located, affordable option for Paris girls trip. The one thing to know in advance is that the room is very small, so be sure you’re close with you wherever you are traveling with! Otherwise - I would recommend! Helpful staff, excellent location, and clean! "

"Location is great . I stayed here for one night as I was coming in from Newcastle to Paris for work . So I traveled all day to come into Paris and got into my room to take a shower and there was no hot water . Went downstairs and asked the staff he didn’t really care much and told me he forgot to tell me that there’s no hot water in the building ... Quite disappointed to be honest . Could have call and told me before I checked in so I could book another hotel . There was no hot water this morning either before I went to work . "

"Excellent stay! Fantastic breakfast, very friendly staff, and very comfortable room. Highly recommend "

"Great location. Lovely area to have breakfast lunch and dinner. Great staff with 24 hour reception. Lovely small hotel "

"The hotel itself is very cute, but the ventilation system is terrible. The entire lobby and hallways smell like fried food, and the fire alarm goes off whenever the kitchen starts cooking (including at 6am). Guests even had to evacuate into the street because of it. Unfortunately, this completely ruined the stay for me."

"Hôtel was clean, comfortable and staff were all very friendly. The location was great to walk and explore. My only complaint was the coffee here. We ventured to find better coffee cause the hotel charged 4 euro for a tiny coffee from a machine. Other than that, I would definitely stay again. "
