Hotel Les Jardins du Marais - Paris

2.6

NEVER IN THIS HOTEL IF YOU EXPECT A 4 STAR SERVICE !!!!!! What is incredible in this hotel is the difference of the great modern and clean common areas and entrance compared with the horrible rooms. Terrible old fashion room, very small, air conditioning with a huge machine in the middle of the room (I nsaw something similar once in Ethiopia some years ago ....) An incredible old bathroom with tubes in evidence, very small towels impossible to use for a shower, no comments on the minibar with nothing to eat. In a few words I think that the 4 stars of this hotel are only for the common areas but the rooms need a total renovation. I paid 250 Euro for one night with no breakfast it seems with an excellent fare found on Venere, I cannot imagine someone can pay more for this hotel, the right price for this hotel is 60-70 Euro if they ask more look for something else

7.4

A mi entender una localizacion perfecta en Paris hotel tranquilo muy agradable se puede comer en la habitacion si uno lo desea.

2.1

it is not a 4 stars hotel!!!!! Rooms are very, very, very little and poor. I will not stay there again for sure! the relationship price/quality is very low.

6.6

Excellent hotel for seminaries. Excellent breakfast. Brilliant parking garage ! However, the beds are so hard and uncomfortable that we could not sleep at all. Otherwise we would always book at this hotel.

6.4

For a Paris hotel this place was not bad. Nicely situated in the Marais district, close to Metro. Walking distance to Place des Vogues, Bastille, and restaurants. Inner courtyard was pleasantly quiet. Our room was mediocre but tolerable. Internet was accessible for a fee in the lobby area only. For the price, breakfast should be included but it is not. Overall acceptable, could be much nicer with some upgrades in furnishings and services.

8.0

the rooms are by way not as fashionable as the public area, so the pictures on the web give a bit of a wrong impression, but we did not regret our choice (the beds are very comfortable, the rooms are clean, quiet). the area is great, very close to rue oberkampf with lots of cafes, bars and restaurants, metro just around the corner, some sights even in walking distance

3.4

Hotel description does not make it clear what it offers are more apartments than rooms. Rooms are very badly soundproof insulated. Reception staff unhelpful and useless in the morning. Overall a pretentious look but too superficial; public areas are nice but rooms are only so so and service is worse. Does not deserve the 4* rating; 3* tops.

6.2

This should'nt be indicated as more than 2 star hotel...

2.0

old and dirty rooms with very low ceiling!!!!!!! dirty kitchenette in the room not required. Noisy common spaces.Very expensive bar service. Nice surroundigs.

8.4

Great location in the Marais area. Short walk to the Bastille area and very close to Place de Vosges with lots of beautiful cafes, restaurants and shops along the way. Rooms very spacious with a little kithenette. Beautiful public areas but not suitable for elderly people because of the stairs to the breakfast room. However with a lovely courtyard between Hotel and breakfast areas. Small confusion with the breakfast prices that need to be specified if they are 20€ per person or per room !!!

8.9

a high excellent quality hotel; with quietness in the center of city; the most appreciated is the close to the public services.

3.7

Rooms were VERY small. No room service (being a 4 * hotel). Restaurants were closed on weekends.

3.4

Smoking room versus non smoking asked. No towels available. Employees not speaking French correctly, not very helpful.

7.1

The hotel lobby/general area is portrayed well in the photos. It is retro, fun and young. The central garden feature is lovely. The room we had (double) was clean, functional and adequate. The bathroom was fine, but could do with a some updating. There was a mini kitchen in the room (dishwasher, fridge, stove/oven, crockery and cutlery), this would be ideal for those wanting a self-catering room.The decor of the room in general did not fit in with that of the communal/general areas of the hotel. Location of the hotel was fine.

8.0

Das Hotel macht von außen einen vernachlässigten Eindruck, der jedoch im Inneren nicht bestätigt wird. Im Inneren ist die Ausstattung sehr modern, alle Angestellten sehr bemüht, nett, sehr höflich, sehr hilfsbereit. Es wurde gar nicht erst versucht, uns das Hotel-Frühstück aufzudrängen, es kam ohne Nachfrage ein Hinweis auf die Möglichkeiten in den umliegenden Bistros. Haben wir auch genutzt, zwei Häuser neben dem Hotel hatten wir jeden Morgen ein einfaches aber absolut ausreichendes und auch sehr französisches Frühstück (15 Euro f.2 Pers.). Zimmer war genau wie abgebildet und ok. Zimmer sind lang aber nicht gerade breit (scheint aber in Paris Standard zu sein). Zimmer zum Innenhof hatten wir zwar nicht gebucht, wurde uns aber ohne weiteres ermöglicht (und scheint auch die bessere Wahl zu sein). Platz der Bastille ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß (1km). Dort hält z.B. auch der Sightseeing-Doppeldecker-Bus (nicht im Hotel buchen, sondern beim Einsteigen bezahlen!) und dort ist Abends auch jede Menge los (Restaurants, Bistros).

8.5

El hotel está muy bien situado, en un barrio céntrico y muy bien comunicado (metro a 40 o 50 metros). En recepción, el trato es muy amable y resuelven cualquier duda con rapidez y eficacia. La habitación, sin llegar al estándar de los hoteles españoles, es más que correcta y dispone incluso de una pequeña cocina. Además, los distintos edificios que componen el hotel están dispuestos alrededor de una especie de patio/calle peatonal que es una delicia. Si a ésto añadimos que el precio de la habitación "classique" es bastante razonable, resulta un hotel muy recomendable al que pensamos regresar en nuestro próximo viaje a París. Saludos!

5.5

very beautiful hotel,luxurious and trendy reception, bar and restaurant and quiet private garden. Not so much the room, large enough but anonymous. Had some misunderstandings with the concierges, who didn't explained me well the price of wi-fi and that reservation was breakfast not included.

8.8

Great value for the money.

8.0

very pleasant hotel, which made our Paris trip an excellent experience. We will recommend this hotel to our friends.

4.6

We reserved 2 executive rooms: none of them seemed to be the rooms of the photos in the site… The first one, for one person, was quite adequate with a little kitchen and a quite large bed, even if the carpet was very spotted and, at arrival, we found some toilet paper (fortunately clean!) into the w.c.; the other room, for two people, was very small, with no kitchen, no minibar, no Internet connection, Pay-TV and other services into the TV out of order. Two considerations: there is too much difference in quality between rooms and, if these are the Executive rooms we paid for, we can’t imagine Classical rooms! Well located; nice the courtyard, probably great in spring and summer. Breakfast was quite good, without fantasy but everything one could expect was there. Be aware that it is not included in the price of the room and we found 20€ really too much. It could be a good “three stars” hotel.

7.8

We stayed in the hotel for 4 days in february. The hotel is fine and the junior suite was spacious enough. We would have appreciated a bigger table for breakfast (p.e). The staff is very friendly but the service could be better. Examples: It is not very intelligent to try to clean the room at 10 am, when you check out at 12am at your last day. We had to repeat a request for a wineglass (there were not enough wineglasses in the room) several times.

9.5

We had a choice of 4 executive rooms, all of which were large and with kitchenettes - the regular rooms seemed quite small. For the price it was great - big, clean, nice atmosphere, helpful staff at reception. Would def. return.

4.2

Poorest service ever had!!!! Last time we did have such a poor service was in Romania at a 10 EUR room. During THREE days we did not have any warm water. The information of the staff were very contradictory - it will be fixed soon ..... Un upgrade was only proposed after several interventions and in the evening 5 minutes before leaving the hotel for going to the opera. All the excuses of the hotel were half a bottle of bad private label Champagne. Beside this catastrophe our room in the Rodin buidling was big and quiet but does need very urgent rennovation. The carpet was more a patchwork of spots.

8.2

Good price for a well located Paris hotel. The staff were a little stuffy but otherwise the hotel facilities were very good

8.1

Hotel liegt unscheinbar in einer schmalen Seitengasse nahe der Bastille. Service und Zimmer waren für den Preis (106€ p.P.) ok. Allerdings sind die Frühstückspreise unverschämt teuer (20 € p.P.) und NICHT wie in vielen Beschreibungen aufgeführt im Buchungspreis enthalten!!!

8.2

Room was clean. It was somewhat tight by American standards but not a space capsule by any means. We had a small kitchen so we made breakfast in the morning and saved a couple hundred Euros. Staff was friendly and spoke lots of languages. Elevators are small and went out of service a couple of times over 11 days. Ice machine was unplugged for the duration. The 'hood was nice and we were close to a metro stop and a couple of local markets. The restaurant left a lot to be desired - ate there exactly once. WiFi Internet access was 6 Euro per day, available in the lobby only (and incompatible with my computer), so we walked 3 blocks to an Internet cafe. Laundromat just around the corner. All in all, it's a nice place and I'd go back.

9.7

A beautiful hotel. I was worried booking over the internet but this was a great hotel. I had an executive room so I had alot of space. The area doesn't have alot of shops or cafes but the metro stop is right there and it was easy to get around Paris. Toilet plugged up twice, elevator broke down once(which was a drag walking up 6 flights of stairs) but they fixed it the next day. Breakfast was a buffet but overpriced. I think next time I will do without it which you can do. The staff was helpful and all spoke English. Get a courtyard room, the streetside rooms can be noisy.

8.1

Good quality hotel. When we arrived, our room was upgraded to an executive suite. The location of the Hotel is excellent; quite location but close to a lot of restaurants and shops

7.0

Overall a good value for money hotel in a convenient location. We paid for an upgraded room and were unsure if a mistake had been made as the photographs in the hotel info in the room did not resemble the room we were in. We were assured we were in an executive room. It was large by Paris standards but otherwise not executive. Decent hotel though with a lovely courtyard. I would certainly stay there again.

9.9

Ottimo albergo, camere veramente pulite e spaziose. Avevamo pure un angolo cucina e con il superercato vicino era comoda (i prezzi nei ristoanti sono piuttosto alti!)

6.9

Good hotel, but should be 3 star rather than 4 star. All guests are foreign--no French at the weekend. The first room they offered us was small and had a sewer smell. If you get a bad room. ask for a better one. Also, on checkout we had to argue to get them to honor the venere.com discounted price. Skip the overpriced hotel breakfast and dinner. For dinner go to C'Amelot down the street--really excellent.

9.6

we were next to the entrance to our hotel so it was noisey with people coming and going but the hotel was very nice and clean

7.8

The hotel is in a quiet and nice area very close to the underground (line 8) that takes you to the most important places to visit, if you go for tourism. Fm Orly airport is better to take a Bus till Les Invalides and then, directlty L-8 to St Sébastien-Froissart

3.5

The rooms are nice but it doese n't look like the pictures from the site at all!!!!Very disappointed!!!We paid for the room 130euro per day and when we got there the room was 90euro per day,and the breakfast was not included...Sorry but that's it!

8.4

This hotel, though unassuming from the outside, is actually quite large--it's basically comprised of 3 or 4 separate buildings built around a cute little central courtyard. The staff was quite helpful, although when we first arrived, a bellboy took our luggage but never brought it to our room. We ended up going back outside and bringing it up ourselves. Our room (a junior suite/triple) was quite spacious and even included a kitchenette, complete with plates and pots and pans. Bathrooms are on the small side, but at least they have shower curtains (unlike some other 4-star French hotels we stayed in where it's just the tub). The only major downside was that the building we were staying in (not sure if the same is true for all of them) did not have true air conditioning units...instead we had one of those space coolers where you have to stick the hose/vent for hot air out of a window. But having to stick it out the window meant leaving a window open, which let in more hot air...kind of a catch-22, and not something I was expecting from a 4-star place. Very close to the Metro, and there are also a bunch of cute restaurants within walking distance.

8.1

My daughter and I stayed for five nights in June. The room was very comfortable, a good size and nicely decorated with views of the court yard.It was slighly smaller than expected but that was because the photos show the best suites. The kitchenette facility was very welcome as breakfast was expensive.It had a fridge, cooker, cutlery, saucepans, crockery and glasses. There is a supermarket very close which sells good bread and croissants.It is well situated and the area is not as expensive as more well known areas. The courtyard is lovely -a pretty and peaceful retreat- as good as the photos. The staff were very helpful. It was a lovely place to go back to after a busy day sight-seeing and though slightly expensive it was worth it.

7.8

Excellent position for visiting place des vosges and the marais. Great area to stroll around, and metro very close. Hotel's indoor Parking cost 24€ a day, though, so next time we'll probably get the train.

4.8

I don't think this district is the best area to stay in Paris, so this effected our stay a bit. The room is old and a bit run down and incredibly small. The hotel maintains the entry, the garden walk-way and the hallways, so it makes it look as if it is a nice hotel. The picture that is shown on the website is disceiving because it makes the room look much nicer and larger than what it really is. This definitely is not a 4 star hotel, this would be consider 2 star in the states with the exception on having a kitchenette. My husband and I ended up using the kitchenette twice to make our own breakfast because the breakfast the hotel offers is horrible. They serve running "buffet" eggs, pastries and frosted flakes cereal for 20 euros each person which exchanges into about $26 US dollars - I wouldn't eat it again if it were free. The only thing nice about this hotel is the staff - extremely nice and accomodating.

4.4

This hotel is rated four star. In reality it is more like a two star. During our stay the hotel was undergoing refurbishment even though the web-site said that it was recently refurbished. There were no public areas available, no restuarant or bar available. We had to walk (during a snowfall) 100 metres to a temporary reception without any assistance from the hotel. Our transfer vehicle was unable to drop us to the temporary reception due to a one-way traffic system. The reception staff were disinterested. Business cards presented on the reception (which we used to direct taxis to the hotel) were actually for a sister hotel located in the opposite direction. On two mornings the chambermaid entered the room without knocking and even though a "do not disturb" sign was displayed on the outside of the door. On complaining at check-out we received a discount. Breakfast was not taken as it was €20 extra per person, which we considered a complete rip-off. In short, I could not recommend this hotel to anybody for any reason.

8.4

One of the better values I've found in Paris if you want a large, well decorated, clean modern room. In room kitchenette and fridge. They have just completed a costly remodel of the whole hotel comple. All of the desk employees are friendly, helpful, and speak fluent English. It's not really in Le Marais, and you need to walk about 4 or 5 blocks to get to Place du Vogues. Then another few blocks to Le Marais. But there are several goor resyaiuants within 2 or 3 blocks of the hotel. Safe neighborhood.

8.4

abbiamo ocupato una junior suite che era adatta a noi e non molto cara, visti i prezzi di Parigi. Una comodità in più non prevista è stata la presenza dell'angolo cottura, comodo per emergenze, ma in effetti ben dotato (anche un fornetto). Il lato più negativo il fatto che in effetti non si trattava propriamente di due stanze, ma di un letto/divano nell'ingresso, per altro abbastanza ampio. Complessivamente da consigliare anche per la collocazione in un quartiere giusto accanto al Marais e molto simpatico.

9.6

El hotel es muy agradable, sus jardines son encantadores, el servicio del staff es excelente, y los cuartos muy cómodos. El único inconveniente que le encuentro, es que se escucha desde la habitación el ruido de los pasillos y de los cuartos cercanos; además, el servicio para arreglar los cuartos empieza a interrumpir desde las ocho de la mañana; le recomendaría al hotel hacer el "house keeping" un poco más tarde.

9.8

A comfortable hotel in the quiet and historic Marais district and 5 minutes walk from the Place des Vosges which is one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The staff were courteous and helpful and the overall value excellent. My wife and I thoroughly enloyed our stay.

9.1

Really enjoy my stay at the hotel, before booking I read different reviews from the website and was a bit worried of some comments. But once arrived, room was reserved and ready for me through the website and I was very pleased with the service offered and everybody was very welcoming. The fact that the hotel is not very far from the underground and from the gare du Nord (by metro) was very good for us. I really recomend this hotel to anyone, even if it is a bit expensive but good value, but everything is expensive in Paris anyway. Vive Paris

6.4

Decent room with good size bathroom. This place is not in the Marais though and is in a pretty desolate area about 10 minutes walk from the Place des Vosges and the Place Bastille

7.9

i asked for a non smoking room the first room i was given stank of smoke the replacement room was fine but still contained an ashtray and no sign to say it was non smoking i dont believe they actually have non smoking rooms. there is no porter service which is awkward given the layout of the property . parking is a nightmare (as it is in paris anyway) but without a porter it is impossible to locate the hotel check in and find the carpark without parking illegally. the rooms were good with kitchen etc but for some reason no trouser press, the public areas, gardens etc are delightful the bar and resteraunt are barely adequete and soulless. this really isnt a 4 star proerty because of the lack of service but on the other hand it is excellent value for paris i would use it again.but please designate some non smoking rooms

8.2

Value for money in Paris, quiet and located within easy access to metro and sights

9.7

Very nice hotel. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel is a long walk from the main sites in Paris, but was close to a metro stop.

8.4

We were very welcomed, The room we had booked was not available, but we were upgraded to exe suite. which was very nice, so this made our stay even more enojoyable

7.7

Generally good. Great location - great base to explore Paris. Nice hotel - med. size rooms - I suppose ok for Paris. My room had a kitchenette which I had no need of. The smell of cooking from last occupant was a bit irritating. I was there on business. Generally pretty good.

5.9

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were excellent very friendly and spoke excellent english. The rooms were small and I feel that the photographs available on the internet site were somewhat misleading, However this did not detract from our stay
