Le Marius

Good location, free parking, quiet place. Room was really nice and comfortable, price is pretty fare. Unfortunately restaurant was closed at the Sunday evening, and wifi wasn't working (it's returned to functioning only Monday morning). But overall impression is good.

This is a comfortable hotel. Our rooms were fine and a good size. We were attracted to book by the restaurant but on arrival discovered it was closed. Happily the bar served food and we ate on the terrace, There were plenty of food options and the food was very good. Service was excellent.

We always stop at Les Riceys, en route to the South of France, to pick up a few bottles of Bauser Champagne but have never stayed in the village. This small hotel was a great find (via TripAdvisor). We hadn't given too much thought to the address - Place de l'Eglise - so suddenly worried about our choice when the hourly bells of 2 churches started to ring out! As we hoped, they stopped at 10pm and only started again at 7am!||||We stayed in Room 3 and found it simply furnished but with interesting beams and lots of space. The bathroom was good. It doesn't have any aircon but we managed okay with the quiet fan running all night. You don't get any noise from the rest of the hotel as it is so solidly built and spacious. The wifi was difficult to pick up but that wasn't an issue for us. We were happy to pay for parking and peace of mind with so much packed into the car for our 2 weeks self-catering holiday.||||Dinner in the adjacent basement restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. We were on demi-pension and just upgraded on a couple of things at a small cost. Breakfast was simple but good. We loved the view from the breakfast room on the first floor up across to the church and the wheeling flight of lots of Swallows!||||We will consider staying again on another trip if our itinerary will allow.

Very poor hotel in the off season. No facilities. No bar or restaurant open.

We booked this hotel for my birthday on our way back from a month in the French / Swiss alps. We took a package of bed, breakfast and evening meal with champagne in room and a tasting of 5 champagnes in the bar before dinner.||||Hotel is well presented in an old character building with stonework and wooden stair cases. The restaurant is in the old wine cellar. The owners are also champagne producers and sell at reasonable prices and cover their range in the tasting plus Rataifa and Marc de Champagne. ||||||Our room was in the attic and very pleasant with views over the Seine. Champagne tasting prior to dinner was very enjoyable ranging from the standard through to the vintage 2011. The Prestige menu had some 7 courses and allowed a selection from the a la carte menu. Plenty of choice and very good. ||||Breakfast served in a room on the first floor overlooking the church. Breakfast was fine although we would have liked say a fruit salad and cereals but plenty of yogurts, coffee, tea, croissants, preserves, cheese and meats. ||||A suggestion is maybe to have a log burning fire in the lounge / bar area for winter cosiness. In summary we enjoyed our stay and will defniately be back on one of our future trips to / from our place in the alps.

We stayed for three nights in Room 3 (midrange), the attic room during the Aube leg of our Champagne trip. ||The room is reasonably sized and simply furnished. The bathroom is pretty basic too and the separate toilet did smell of its function a little too much! We found the bed quite hard and uncomfortable for us.||The price for the room is €93 + €10 for parking. If you take breakfast as a couple that is a further €22, making it €125 per night which is really a bit steep for the standard on offer. It is possible to park in the street, access to the 3 or 4 space car park is relatively tight but the gates are locked overnight. There is a small bakery over the road with reasonable croissants at €1 which we opted for.||There is a church just a few yards from the hotel so earplugs may be advisory for the 6am and onwards tolling!||The restaurant in the basement is not too bad. Nicely renovated and the food is of a pleasant quality. Some decent Coteaux Champenois and Rosé des Riceys available. One of the best producers in Les Riceys is Olivier Horiot and his wines have by far the smallest mark-up.||Free Wi-Fi is available although it did not work in our room so we had to use the lounge area. Even here it was a little sporadic. ||

I have been visiting Le Marius for over 10 years now, but never got to write a review. Let's do it now. This is a great spot for exploring the Champagne. I always stay for 1 night (traveling through) and I always meets up with my expectations. Located in a beautiful village, near / under the church. It is quite a romantic place. All rooms are different. Last time we stayed in the Cuvée Speciale room - near the parking lot (small place) and separated from the rest of the hotel (quit, that is what we like). Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. Do try the restaurant: honest food for a very fair price (and lovely: it is in the old basement of the hotel). One of my favorites hotels in the world! And they have excellent House Champagne "Joffreys" - try the rose!

Really comfortable and cosy hotel. The shower was a bit outdated, but otherwise the room and everything was nice and clean. The service was excellent and location beautiful.
