Hôtel Caron Le Marais

It was our first visit to lovely Paris and Hotel Caron le Marais did not disappoint us because of its street charm and location to everything including the Metro.|Room space is adequate enough for us. We love its retro modern decor including the bathroom. Occitane brand shower soaps were a delightfully a plus. Kettle with tea cups with small fridge in the room. We include the hotel breakfast buffet Parisian style.|My wife and I with two luggages fits adequately in their small elevator. ||The staffs are accommodating and friendly. A big shoutout to reception monsieur Sully, Tas and Raoul. Also to the reception madam Theresa (the lady with a eyeglass, please pardon if I type your name wrong) and Sarah. We also appreciates Cristina, the breakfast madam and the room cleaning lady (sorry we forgot to get her name).||So overall we had a very good solid five day stay at Hotel Caron le Marais. We will definitely be back again at Hotel Caron for our future second visit. We realized five full days in Paris not enough especially to first timers like us.||Merci beaucoup Hotel Caron|Ellis and Janette

Stayed at Hotel Caron for 3 nights and highly recommend it. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and re-stocked with a free mini bar every day and the location is perfect in the middle of Le Marais neighborhood and near the metro. The rooms are small which is very common for hotels in Paris, but it was adequate.

Very good service. No complaints whatsoever. Room was clean, the bed and pillows were very nice. The free minibar is a nice little extra. Located in a very good location. Very centrally located while still being very affordable. We will definitely consider this hotel when we return to Paris.

Loved the Hotel, it's staff especially Sully. Everyone was more than helpful during my six day stay. The Breakfast room is delightful with a very nice assortment of items. The location is superb. I travel by myself and found so many beautiful sights whithin walking distance. The Metro and Bus 69 were all close to access. Restaurants in the neighborhood were abundant and never did I feel outof place by myself

This was my second stay at the Hotel Caron. Last time I was by myself and perhaps that is why it was a better experience. I traveled with my son and the room was tight for the two of us. I don’t mind tight hotel rooms, but for some reason, this was slightly uncomfortable and we just aimed to avoid the room as much as possible. I am reluctant to leave anything negative because the people that work there are kind, and there are some good things about the hotel but because I rely on Tripadvisor for information, I feel as though this needs to be noted for people who are doing similar research that I do before I book a hotel. ||I think the size of the room would have been less of an issue if the room itself was clean or at least felt cleaner. When we checked in, the toilet wasn’t cleaned thoroughly and had stains leftover. It was a little disturbing. Fortunately, I had my own wipes that I was able to use and I cleaned it myself. I think that just started the visit off on a bad note and it couldn’t get back on track. In addition, the throw blanket on the edge of the bed (used as decor) was not clean. ||But here are the positives: this is a phenomenal location near the St Paul metro station. It is near so many restaurants as well as a place where you can have your laundry washed and folded in less than 24 hours. You can walk easily to Notre Dame, Place des Vosges and obviously to the left bank very quickly. I am torn because I really do love a small hotel off the beaten path, but I am not sure if I will return again to this one.

Before giving a poor review I always check to see what others have written when complaining. Is mine an outlier or is it similar? And how has the hotel responded? The short answer is that my experience was similar to others who complained, and while the hotel responded by saying they'll do something they don't seem to have addressed the issues at all. Then I balance what I'm paying against the experience but remembering I'm paying out of my after-tax income and the hotel is trying to make a profit. I am not a charity for hotel owners. The biggest concern was that the rooms were dirty (see the dust in the photos), that twice the towels were not replaced nor were other items . The issue with the towels was that I didn't ask for them to be replaced every day but every third or fourth day. Even so they weren't replaced and I then had to take them downstairs. In one instance replacement towels weren't immediately available! The soap bar was never replaced. Nor were the tissues in the bathroom. When I arrived, the shower gel bottle was empty, something only discovered when I was in the shower. A fly in the bedroom was likely due to the fact that a window was left open by the cleaner. The bug on the croissants? Like another guest there was a smell in the bathroom; also the cistern was prone to not turning off after a flush. (We might have had the same room.) Also, the bathroom is small. And the closet space insufficient for a longer stay. And yes - other than the receptionists the other staff were not that friendly. On the positive side... Yes - the receptionists were great particularly Sully. The food at breakfast was good for the price. The bed was comfortable. The air-con worked. The location was perfect.

Had a 4 night stay at Hotel Caron in June. The rooms are what you would expect, clean but tiny. The complimentary soft drinks in the mini bar were a lovely a suprise. Great location with some wonderful restaurants in an easy walk. Try the Pub On Paris dircectly opposite the hotel's front door. This little gem has great staff and great prices. Tell them Tracy sent you. Hotel breakfast was priced at 10 Euro, Self serve in a delightful room was delicious. Perfect for our first morning after 24 hours if travel. With all reviews there are highs and lows, this comes with both as upon check in I was nearly charged double, lucky I had a printed out confirmation of the quoted price. Also the ""hotel security policy"" of returning the one and only key to reception each time you leave I found very odd.

We stay in Paris two or three times a year and always in the same area. I’ve never stayed at Caron before but it was available for a last-minute booking at a reasonable rate. I can honestly say that compared to other hotels in The Marais it compares very well. Some reviews comment on the room sizes. Our room was one of the larger ones that we have had in Paris. With some hotels you literally can’t walk around the bed, but this one had plenty of space and lovely street facing Windows. Bathroom sizes in most hotels in Paris are challenging, and this is no exception, but it works. Yes, it is a tiny street in central Paris so there is street noise and some talking from people standing around. For us the smoking was worse -we had to close the windows but that’s the French for you and we have to accept their cultural habits as we are guests in their country!||The two reception staff are an absolute asset to the hotel. Incredibly friendly and helpful. ||I don’t think people should complain about breakfast in a hotel like this. For visitors to Paris, there really is no need to eat in the hotel, there is so much choice within a couple of minutes walk. |For anybody that hasn’t been to Paris, and is considering this hotel, yes you will find the rooms smaller than you are used to, but I promise you they are larger than most ! Also, some thought has gone into the interior decorations, which is not always the case in hotels of this price range in Paris. As seasoned visitors to Paris, we would stay again.
