3H Paris Marais Hotel

Great little hotel in fabulous neighbourhood. Clean and updated with 24/7 staff at front desk and we stayed here for 3 nights while in Paris. We had not stayed in this neighbourhood in the past and it was very convenient to cafes, restaurants and great shopping. We had a nice room with 2 twin beds, shower and bath. A downside which I found very unusual is we were given a few “pods” of coffee complimentary for the Nespresso like machine and on check out I was charged for 2 more pods at 2.27 Euros each. When I asked for an iron, I was advised I had to go down to front desk as they did not send irons to the rooms. I ironed my dress in the lobby of the hotel …new experience. There is an elevator however it is 3 stairs up and in Europe fashion fits only 2 suitcases and one body so dragging your suitcase up and down adds to the experience. We would stay here again as it is in a great location and staff friendly and helpful.

The location, right near Arts et Metiers, is extremely convenient, and the hotel is tucked into a quiet sidestreet, so it feels pretty calm. Budget to mid-range hotels in Paris are rarely anything to write home about, but this one is clean and reasonably comfortable, and a decent home base for any tourist visit. I remember the breakfast being nice enough, and the concierge was typically brusque but helpful and not unkind. You could do much worse for the cost and location - I would recommend 3H Paris Marais.
