“Wonderful service, handy location”

Hotel du Marais

5 of 5 stars
Mackay, Australia
Nov 2, 2008

We had wonderful service from the moment we arrived.
The staff booked us in to see "Lido" much cheaper than we could have- either before we left Australia or ourselves there in Paris. The room was very comfortable- not large- but all we needed- lift small- no worries though.
Could not thank staff enough!!! Not far from train station- arrived and left via Euro Star.
Very handy to 'main' part of Paris. We walked from there each morning- no worries. I even walked about 1 klm to where our freinds were staying- at night by myself-and I felt safe!!
Bakery next door- and 'convenience strore around corner- open until late.
Would stay there again !!!!!!!

“Hostile staff”

Hotel du Marais

1 of 5 stars
Houston, Texas
Sep 18, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Nevermind that the bathroom is tiny, room is very old, and sound proofing is poorly. We didn't mind all that. We've stayed in small old rooms before where we can hear the next room snore the night away. We will never stay here again because the staff (really just the day manager) was downright hostile.

My girlfriend ordered a cup of coffee around 10:30 in the morning but was told that she was not to take the coffee up to the room and that we were forbidden to eat the pastry we bought from next door in the dining room. Within 10 minutes of ordering the coffee, she was then told that she needs to finish her coffee and leave because they needed to turn on the computer for theri guests. What that has to do with anything was lost on me. Apparently they stopped serving breakfast at 10, thus the outburst. If that were the case, don't serve the coffee.

Next morning, when I challenged the manager on previous day's coffee incident, I was lgiven a lecture on "knowing the rules of engagement and that it was his duty to teach those that aren't couth enough to know the rules". That's a direct quote, not angry traveler's embellishment.

Again, the room was old, but it's on-par with a two-star hotel, and the location was good as it's very close to a Metro stop, but the day manager clearly needs a refresher course in customer service.

“Best value in the Marais”

Hotel du Marais

4 of 5 stars
Islington
Jun 15, 2008

I thought this an honest, no nonsense hotel that delivered what it promised. The rooms are a fair size for a two star and the bathroom, though small, was immaculate. Very large people might find it difficult to squeeze into the lift, though. The hotel is in a quiet street just away from the noisier part of the Marais near loads of transport options. The staff were great and it would be difficult to find a hotel that offers better value in the Marais or anywhere else in Paris for that matter. A really good location.

“Would not stay here again!!”

Hotel du Marais

2 of 5 stars
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Jun 1, 2008

Did not have a terrible stay here, but certainly would not return. Smallest hotelroom I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in some really small ones ;-)

Beds are small Queensize beds. Showercurtain has mould stains (blehhhggggg), shower was so low me and my partner both had to stand under it with bended knees. Old furnishings, stained carpet, old old old. staff was ok but not particulary friendly nor rude.

The location is great, you can walk to almost any place of interest and it is right near all the gay spot in the Marais neighbourhood, wich is why me and my partner chose this hotel. But as you pay for the location and not for the quality of the hotel/room I would prefere a hotel outside the Marais with better rooms as opposed to this shabby place!

“Security questionable & and very rude day manager”

Hotel du Marais

Jan 30, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

The rooms are gloomy and dark but clean. I was shocked when I returned to the hotel to find my room door wide open with my laptop and other possessions exposed. The cause was a cleaning maid who left all room doors open while she was on the floor above. When I complained strongly the manager came to my room and stared yelling at me saying I was paranoid and had no reason to be upset.
