The "best price" was full rack rate, there is no lobby nor reception area, simply a hallway. This is a converted residential building, not a true "hotel". Rooms clean and well maintained, front desk is competent. The photos are of the hotel building, but the first floor is not a hotel reception nor lobby but an independent coffee shop. Breakfasts offered in the hotel basement are E12.00 per person. Rooms are good sizes for Paris (i.e. small but not cramped) and had a separate wet bar with refrigerator which came in handy. Rooms were stylish. We had a balcony which was essential.

Nice spacious room. There is no breakfast room but the breakfast served at the room was sufficient and very nicely presented. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location

The staff were friendly and helpful from the start, the room was well appointed and although it had no view we were very happy with it. The hotel is situated in a lovely part of Paris, very accessible by metro and not too far to walk from the RER station (Chatalet - Les Halles). It is very close to the historic heart of Paris and surrounded by lots of cafes and restaurants. We'll be back!

Great location close to Beaubourg, Hotel de Ville and the Marais. Each floor has a different color scheme. We did not try the breakfast served in the room as there are great breakfast places all around. The rooms (and the bathrooms) are not large but very nicely furnished. Beware of checking in on a Sunday. People tend to check out late, therefore the rooms were not available until 2 PM

An Excellent Choice...

We truly enjoyed our stay! The staff was excellent and the rooms were clean and well kept, though definitely not large by American standards. The hotel was in the most perfect spot amongs the bustling steets of the Marais district, and only a metro (subway) ride away from every main site. A disclaimer -- unless you like to walk or plan to take subways (like we did), or enjoy spending way too much money on cabs, you should know that the Marais area is a bit of distance from the Champs De Elysees, the Eiffel Tower, and many other classic Parisian attractions, though truly in a charming area of Paris that came highly recommended to me by a good friend who grew up in Paris. The concierge was also excellent. We spoke with one gentleman in particular at the front desk who helped guide our trip right down to the metro lines that we took to get there. He had a wonderful sense of what we were looking for and new the city extremely well. To say the least, the Villa Marais exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it.
