The hotel offers good service, and staff is helpful and friendly. The hotel location is good and the room and common areas are clean. The bedding was also clean and comfortable.

The room was very hot, as the air conditioning was not sized to cope with the summer temperatures. The room was small and the price was too high.

The staff were helpful and friendly

Rooms are spartan at best. There's a reason why their photos focus on the reception area.

The staff were wonderful - friendly, obliging, patient, funny... I would come back for them alone! The location is superb: a stone's throw from the Pompidou Centre (which we could see from our balcony!) and the Hotel de Ville, surrounded by good places to eat and drink, but on a surprisingly quiet street. The beds were extremely comfortable. I would definitely come back for another Parisian mini-break!

The decor in the room was perhaps slightly dated and characterless (compared to the lobby, which is charming!), but it had everything we needed and was perfectly comfortable for two people. The hot water tank (I assume) is quite loud, but I expect this is just due to the age of the building.

Very secure on a quiet street corner in Le Marais. Great staff. Had a family vibe. Nice elevator. 24-hour front desk. My housekeeper was phenomenal. I tend to convert a hotel room into a bachelor pad. Everyday she came through there like a white tornado or the Cat in the Hat. Sitting room on the first floor was really beautiful and furnished nicely. Bed was comfortable. I liked the tiled bathroom, every square inch tiled.

The air conditioner may have had a governor on it I couldn't really seem to get it to cool down the room although my room was still comfortable.

Excellent location in the Marais close to numerous restaurants,museums, bistro's ans boutiques. .A true Parisian experience in a wonderful atmosphere .Excellent value for money.A quaint and beautiful family run hotel with exceptional service and helpful staff.Besides French, staff are all speaking english and went the extra mile during my stay .The knowledge of the owner and reception staff of neighbourhood restaurants and things to do is commendable!

The whole experience at this hotel was very french and good value for money.

The hotel is quirky, with a lovely lobby and stairway. The rooms are modern and basic, though they have everything you need such as hairdryer and plenty of pillows and towels. The location could not be more perfect, an easy RER transfer (B) from CDC or Orly airport and then a short walk from les Halles. But it's the area that really makes this hotel ideal; buzzing, cosmopolitan and friendly there was always something happening when you went outside no matter which direction you went in with plenty of local shops and restaurants. Notre Dame and St Chapelle are within easy walking distance and with plentiful metro stops you can get everywhere you need. Must say also the staff were lovely, 24 hour manned reception and always a friendly welcome. Can also commend the cleaning staff- room was spotless!

The rooms are a little basic and there was a little noise coming from other rooms as they are quite close together, but nothing that really disrupted our stay.

Location and staff perfect. Reception area on ground floor was stylish, luxurious looking and charming. A good sized working lift also much appreciated as not always available in the smaller Paris hotels. Room and bathroom were spotless and nice size but definitely more utilitarian in decor than the ground floor reception area/ communal staircase vibe of the hotel might lead you to expect.

would have been nice to have had some bottled water in the room. The rules about not having any food or drinks at all in the room was somewhat draconian. The continental breakfast (available to order as room service only) was a bit limited in offering though nice, and also punctual,- ie coffee, orange juice and croissant/ baguette with minimal butter and jam. No option even for yoghurt or fruit

A small but cosy room with a very comfortable bed, extremely friendly and helpful staff and situated in the heart of Le Marais with easy access to the Metro. Extremely grateful to the staff for supplying bio bread and green tea!

A lack of surface area for storing small items like phone, glasses, watch etc. Normally these would be left on the table but, as breakfast was brought to the room each morning, the areas situated either side of the bed weren't really spacious enough.

Fantastic location in the heart of the lively Marais district, with its bars and restaurants and friendly, inclusive vibe. Also it's very close to many prime tourist attractions, as the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle. The room is kept very clean and the WC/Shower is spacious.

Despite its quiet charm, cleanliness and friendly Reception staff, the Hotel Le Vieux Marais has no room service or facilities for in-house snacks or drinks, so it's disappointing not to have a small fridge, nor a kettle in the room.

Always enjoy my stay here. Located in a great part of Le Marais - close to everything - shopping, food, metro and a self service laundry facility 100m down the road. The room we stayed in had minimal facilities (basically beds and private bathroom) but housekeeping always kept our beds and bathroom clean. Everything worked as it should. So it's perfect for those who just need a bed and private bathroom. The gentlemen at front desk always friendly and helpful.
