Grand Hôtel Malher

A nice family run hotel,  with wonderful staff,  so refreshing. We stayed here for 5 nights in room 55 for my husbands 55th Birthday. I booked a room with a balcony. We booked directly with the hotel,  all communication with staff was good. Clean  large room,  comfortable bed,  I slept so well. The pictures match what you get. Metro station was 1 minute walk away with food options on your door step and lots of shopping options. We walked to Notre Dame in 15 minutes. The room had a fridge,  absolutely love that.  I would 100% stay again,  a bit above our usual budget, but for a birthday treat it was perfect. I would only suggest they let you fill water bottles in reception in stead of just a glass so you can save on buying plastic bottles.

I had such a lovely experience at the Grand Hotel Malher. The location in Le Marais couldn’t be better as it was surrounded by cafés, shops, and beautiful streets, and just a short walk to so many Paris highlights. The hotel itself is charming and full of character, with clean, comfortable rooms and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. But what really made my stay special was Nina at the front desk. She was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready with a smile. She had great advice, and genuine warmth that made me feel completely at home especially on my first trip to Europe solo. It’s rare to find a hotel that feels both authentically Parisian and so personal in its hospitality. I’ll absolutely be returning on my next trip ☺️

Great experience! We arrived really early so they stored our luggage.| I've been to Paris four times so I expected a tiny room.| We booked a standard room with a balcony and it was a really good size with room to walk around and a good sized bathroom.|The walkin shower was large with good water pressure.|The hotel is located in the great Marais area with loads of amenities, cafes,ect. nearby but not in the crazy busy part.|The St.Paul Metro was around the corner as was a taxi stand.Surprisingly, when I tried Uber it was always in the 19 Euro range so I found the taxis cheaper.|The staff at the 24 hour front desk were super helpful with suggestions, especially on where to go where the locals go.|If you haven't been to Paris in the June to September range before, it is most important to get an air conditioned hotel room as temperatures can be oppressive and many hotels are not temperature controlled. The air conditioning was perfect and easy to control.|I highly recommend staying here and it is my go-to hotel when I return.

I wasn’t crazy about Paris initially. But our recent visit, including staying at Grand Hotel Malher, changed everything. Now, I can’t wait to go back! 

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with good vibes and smiles by the manager, Givan (sp?) and his colleague Mohamad. They instantly made us feel more like friends in their home rather than just hotel guests wanting to check in. The manager, who is also a hip musician - only in Paris! - went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable stay. He offered great recommendations, not just the standard tourist fare, but real, local insights. He even walked us to one of his favorite bistros to check out! 

Our room was clean and comfortable. No balcony but the views out of the big windows were spectacular (see pic). Shoutout to the lady in charge of breakfast - merci for such great service! And you know what they say - location, location, location. The hotel is in the heart of the Marais, steps from everything - cafes, bars, shops, the park, St. Paul Cathedral and the metro. Yet the hotel itself feels like a quiet retreat from the bustle.

It's not flashy, but full of Parisian character and authenticity. Magnifique!

I had booked a single room under booking site when I arrived they suggested they can add one more night and they can give me a double bed cause there was no single for the 2 nd night. So I had 2 different reservation she never canceled the first one. I had bed bugs on both legs so I had asked to change to another room but instead of addressing the bed bugs, this front desk told me to my face, I am going to be nice to you cause I will cancel the original reservation. He is unbelievable, your collegue forgot to cancel the one where you get less money cause there is a fee to use booking but when they book it without the booking site, they get all the money. So I think you should be happy to cancel the one you get less money . You are not doing me any favors.|He is arrogant , he should apologize that his collegue messed up but he turned it around on me. It was my fault there was 2 reservation.

Friendly staff, great location, clean rooms, & reasonably priced. I would absolutely stay here again. Plenty of restaurants nearby and several convenient metro stops. If you want to stay in Marais, this place is great.

Pros & Cons: The pros- Truly amazing location. Fantastic area including a “locals vibe.” Less than 2 min walk to metro and two grocery stores and lots of food! Room was a good size (esp. for Paris) and bathroom nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. |The Cons: no outlet in the bathroom!! Ridiculous. I even confirmed with housekeeper. Also, not even ONE drawer in the room! You read right- not even a drawer. Only one shelf that was blacked by my hanging clothes above it so I lived out of my suitcase. Not the way to settle in and get organized. How about getting night tables with drawers?? Simple solution. Street view: good light and windows. Yes, some noise in the morning with trash pick up and sirens and cafe outside at night. But that can be a given anywhere. I used white noise, though others may prefer a courtyard room. |And last- the mini fridge did not work at all. They did replace it on day #3, but by then it was half of my trip and I have certain things that needed to be refrigerated. I specifically even emailed them one week before arriving confirming about the mini fridge and chose this hotel, in part, for this feature. Not fair to the customer. Two stars for the cons but I generously gave four stars overall.

Went there for a week room was nice and clean staff was very friendly gave us recommendations for food and things to see the location is amazing for walking around the city and for taking the metro they gave us a good and safe feeling

This hotel charged me for a service it did not provide. Travelers to France beware. My wife and I had reserved a room at a nearby hotel for six nights beginning September 14. The room/hotel proved to be undesirable when we saw it in person, and we walked into the Grand Hotel Malher (GHM) to inquire about a room. GHM had no room available for us the night of September 14, but the GHM clerk said there were possible rooms for us beginning September 15. It was late and we needed a place to stay. The GHM clerk charged my credit card 350 euros at 9:06 p.m. on September 14 after insisting that I needed to pay in advance to reserve a room beginning September 15. I'd asked him not to charge my card yet because GHM had no room available for us that night, September 14, and because my wife was in the process of trying to secure a room for us at another hotel (via her mobile phone). My wife secured a room at another hotel and I let the GHM clerk know that we were no longer in need of a room at GHM. However, the clerk had just charged my credit card for the night of September 15. He consulted with a woman associate who said they would need a manager's authorization to refund the 350 euros charged to my credit card. They asked and I confirmed with strong assurances that my wife and I had no need for a room at GHM. The entire process took maybe 15 minutes. We would have considered staying at GH Mahler if we'd not been able to secure a room at another hotel for our entire stay. But there were other indications that perhaps GHM was not the best place to stay: vomit in the elevator; another guest's malfunctioning room card; the GHM clerk telling us that a double room would be available and then telling us that it wouldn't be available and that only a more expensive triple room was available. The GHM clerk seemed like a very nice person and our experience with GHM would have been pleasant if not for their refusal to refund the 350 euros which, under the circumstances, would be the reasonable and sensible thing to do.

Excellent location and value for this hotel. Quiet, clean, and basic rooms. Less than 5 min walk from the train station makes it very convenient. Also close to all the action, yet surprisingly quiet. The reception staff are the nicest and gave us good tips on where the locals prefer to eat and how we should manage our day trip transport to Bruges and back. I would 100% stay here again.

We unfortunately didn't end up staying here because there was a death in the family, so our trip got cancelled. In the midst of things, I was not able to cancel the hotel booking and got charged the no show fee (price of first night). That's fair. But they charged us 2 nights. And when I e-mailed them asking why it was 2 nights, they said it was because they thought I was delayed coming in and they held the room for 2 nights. Policy states no-show gets charged the first night, but they were charging me 2 nights?! PLUS, they never even reached out to me to ask what the situation was, if I was delayed etc etc. I've stayed here before, but now never again. I won't put my card at the risk of employees who feel welcome to a charging spree - justify it & does not follow policy. I had to email them 2 times to follow up to rescind the second night's charge. NEVER AGAIN.

Everything was excellent. While I am not handicapped, I did enjoy the handicap room on the ground level next to the beautiful banana trees in the courtyard. Like others, I can't really find anything wrong with this place. Truly everything was excellent. My only complaint was that checkout is early. I thought noon was standard. Here it is 11 am and a late checkout is 11:30 am. Oh well! Looking forward to my next visit!

The hotel stay was wonderful. The location is excellent as it close to the train and buses. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The only minor issue would be that there isn't a safe in the room. They do offer a safe in the basement that staff accesses for you. We would definitely stay here if we return to Paris.

We enjoyed our stay at this excellently located, quiet and pleasant hotel. The room would have been sufficiently spacious if it hadn't had a king-sized bed in it. The bathroom, with an excellent shower, was very capacious by contrast. WiFi worked well. We were a little surprised that the staff would not call a taxi for us - this was our first visit to Paris and perhaps this is customary? They made helpful restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was good and served in an ancient, stone-arched room beneath the ground floor. One descends a staircase that would be challenging for those with physical limitations. All in all, the hotel met our needs and was very well situated.

Très bien placé, jolies chambres avec salle de bain spacieuse. Personnel acceuillant. Malheureusement très mal insonorisé, en tout cas pour les chambres donnant sur la rue.

I could not find anything wrong with this hotel even if I wanted to!! The perfect balance of comfort, practicality, quality of service and not even to mention the location. It is the third time that I stay there when in Paris and I call it my parisian home cet hôtel est parfait!!!

The service at this hotel is second to none. I could not be happier that I chose to stay here because the staff were so friendly and accommodating. In addition, I would argue this hotel has the best location in Paris. It is located on a quiet street off of a main boulevard in the trendy Le Marais neighborhood, which has tons and tons of fantastic restaurants, shopping & sight-seeing. There are several public transit stops very close by and you are walking distance to some of the most famous Parisian attractions. Moreover, the room at Grand Hotel Malher was nicely cleaned every day and had everything I needed from a hotel room. I stayed in two different rooms during my stay, and both had nice windows which opened up to a view of a large plant in the courtyard. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Paris.

I recommend this hotel at this price point. Quiet, decent rooms, great location for metro and buses, restaurants within walking distance, good breakfast. Also recommend paying a little more for one of the larger rooms.

Good location. Staff speak English and are very helpful. There is a lift. Breakfast was basic but adequate. The room was too small but that's Paris. I would stay there again. Peter A.

This hotel is in a perfect neighbourhood, and my absolute favourite. A block from St Paul metro, great restaurants walking distance to many tourist sights, don't miss the park at Place des vosges. The staff is friendly and accommodating the room was clean and had all I needed. The wifi works great, which is important for me so I always include a review of the wifi (and wish everyone did!) Stay here, you won't regret it. Thanks for your hospitality, Grand Hôtel Malher!
