Hotel Emile le Marais

It’s a boutique-style hotel, small but pleasant. It’s located among Paris’s vintage shops, small cafés, bakeries, and lively, art-filled streets. The staff were warm and friendly. During my stay, the exterior was under renovation, so I couldn’t enjoy watching the street from the French balcony, but it’s definitely a hotel that allows for that too once the work is finished.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wonderful location in the Marais district really close to the Saint Paul’s Metro stop. I had room number 14 which they told me was different from all the rest. It was small, but really efficiently laid out, a little bit quirky, but really cute modern and quiet. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice - croissants, pastries, juice coffee. I would definitely stay here again, as it was a great value for the price. Merci, Hotel Emile!

Booked this due to being near Gare de Lyon, 15/20 minute walk to the hotel from here. Alternatively, you can also get the Metro. ||Hotel is just off main road surrounded by cafés and restaurants. The Metro is also a short walk from the accommodation. ||Check in with seamless and I chose to pay on arrival. I was under no illusion when I booked this that the room was compact, and that is certainly the case. I was by myself but if there were two of you in the room with suitcases, you would not have much room left to manoeuvre. Also, if you were two friends who decided to share the room, please bear in mind that the shower has no privacy curtain! ||Having said that I really liked it, the bed was super comfy and I had a massive window that letting lots of natural light. The shower was great as it had lots of water pressure and hot water. ||Very quiet in the evening, I was concerned about the street noise but the double glazing dealt with that. ||Breakfast was included but this was very basic however what they did provide was very nice. If you do want a bigger breakfast, I would advise going out and getting something, you won’t find it difficult as there are restaurants and cafés surrounding the hotel. ||If travelling alone, I would certainly come back here. If travelling with friends or a partner, I would certainly opt for a bigger room.

An amazingly convenient hotel in this wonderful area. However unfortunately when we arrived, they were renovating and lots of paint fumes and banging going on. The lovely staff member then moved us to another room, which was a little quieter, but my husband come down with Tonsilitis so the noise from the renovations got worse for him. The lovely receptionist Offred to move us to their sister hotel a street back. I will try this hotel again, when no renovations are going on, as the staff were so accommodating.

We booked two rooms. My parents had a room on the top floor with one large bed, and my brother and I shared a room on the fifth floor with two beds. We were in the city for seven nights. This location was perfect for exploring. The 1 metro line was easily accessible and connected to other main lines. The rooms were the perfect size for our stay, and the neighborhood provided all the amenities you could want with restaurants, cafes, and groceries nearby. A major highlight was Gwendolyn at the front desk. She was kind and offered great suggestions. Her warm, welcoming energy made us feel at home. She even helped us get a cab that would agree to take my mom's wheelchair and all of our luggage.

I LOVE this little hotel right in the heart of my favorite neighborhood in Paris. Gwendolyn (I hope I spelled her name correctly) is an absolute gem! We arrived early after a long flight and the room was ready and clean when we got there. We even got to get to know her during our two night stay. The whole staff was kind and helpful. We went to go and see more of the country and went back to the hotel a week later just to say hi to her! Would highly recommend this hotel if you are in Paris.

Our entire multi-city Europe trip was booked three months in advance, including two separate room reservations at Hotel Emile Le Marais, as we were traveling with another couple. This hotel was the only one of five that failed to honor its commitment and nearly ruined our vacation.||Three days before our flight to Europe (five days before our arrival in Paris), we received an email stating the hotel could not process the charge for the first night on one of the rooms, requesting an update. We immediately contacted our bank, who confirmed unequivocally that the hotel had never even attempted to submit the charge. Despite this, we re-entered the card details on Booking.com.||Two days later, the hotel unilaterally canceled one of our two reserved rooms. We were left scrambling to find accommodation for half our party just five days before our scheduled arrival. Desperate, we immediately called the hotel (at 11 PM Paris time) and were told to call back during business hours. We then sent an urgent email via Booking.com, offering to pay for all four nights in full, immediately, to reinstate the reservation. The hotel never replied to our plea.||The consequence of this unjustified cancellation and total lack of communication was disastrous: we were forced to book a separate, extremely expensive last-minute hotel, and our party had to be split up.||Hotel Emile Le Marais demonstrated a complete lack of care and professionalism regarding a long-standing reservation. There was no valid reason for the cancellation, and the failure to even respond to a customer facing an emergency is unacceptable. We strongly advise other travelers to be wary of their booking reliability.

I booked in here at short notice and the staff could not have been more helpful. They showed me the room to confirm it would meet my needs and even moved slightly on the rate because it was an unplanned stay. Yes, my room was very small but it was fresh and clean with whisper quiet air conditioning.
