Hotel Emile le Marais

I can’t give a full 5-star rating. The hotel is located in a very nice, walkable, and well-connected area of Paris, and the structure itself is cozy and comfortable, especially for a solo trip. The rooms, however, are extremely small, and the photos online can be misleading—so I would recommend not relying too much on them. Considering the price, I was expecting a bit more overall. That said, the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. Breakfast is quite basic, with only machine coffee and croissants. The hotel itself is pleasant, but my main disappointment was the view. I specifically booked this hotel for the top-floor view and clearly mentioned this when booking. Upon arrival, I discovered that the window was completely covered by scaffolding. This is clearly not a recent issue, yet no information was provided in advance. If you are booking this hotel mainly for the view, I strongly suggest confirming this beforehand. Overall, it’s a nice property, but transparency and value for money could definitely be improved.

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!

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

Pros: staff were phenomenal! Gwendolyn, Filipe, and Leon were warm, welcoming, and supportive of all requests. They made us feel like family.||Our corner room had a freestanding bathtub and hot water was plentiful with good pressure.||Superb location with everything you could want in the 4th arrondissement just steps away.||Cons: |Lobby was under repair and wrapped in plastic while we were there. Exterior was wrapped in scaffolding to the top floor so exterior views were obstructed. Tiny elevator could only fit two people—not for the claustrophobic!||Corner room was oddly shaped with no place to put luggage. Handheld showerhead had no clip other than a 3M plastic broom holder and could not be positioned properly. Showerhead was not tight to the hose and leaked across entire room to door of room. ||Pillows were hard and lumpy. Bed had a noticeable seam down the middle where two mattresses were joined. Temperature was set for entire building and alternated between too hot to sleep to freezing cold.

The best part of this hotel was definitely the wonderful staff, Leon and I didn’t catch her name but the madam who stays in the morning. The rooms leaned smaller but that was as expected, wonderful location near everything and very clean - highly recommend and would come back

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.
