The room was very small for the price. Nowhere to put luggage except on the floor or under the bed. The bathroom, however, was a delight - light and spacious. Would be fine with just one person and a small bag.
In emails beforehand we had been promised wonderful service, but we were disappointed. The hotel specifically asked if we had any special needs, and they knew that my husband was not particularly well and is awaiting a hip replacement. They said they would make a careful note of this. But when we arrived, and he wanted to go straight to the toilet, they took him upstairs, when we could see afterwards, there was a lift right there. He was feeling very unwell, and yet they seemed not to make any effort to get our room ready quickly for him. We had to wait a long time, partly away from the hotel and partly in the foyer. We wouldn’t have minded, because we were aware check-in time was 3 pm, but they had asked if we had any special-needs and they had said they would be very mindful of his health condition. And they didn’t seem to be at all.
On the plus side, we appreciated the beautiful decor and cleanliness of the hotel. And the situation in the Marais was exactly what we wanted. The beautiful windows of the room and the bathroom gave straight on to the buzz and atmosphere of Paris.
