Wonderful old-world Parisian Hotel

This was a wonderful old-world Paris Hotel steeped with history and tradition. Conveniently located on the famous Rue de Rivoli, the hotel is within the Marais area of Paris which is a very hip, old and now gay area of Paris. It felt very safe and had a great vibe. The hotel itself is well serviced by a lift and has a first floor reception with attentive staff. The breakfast room is a must-visit, and the rooms themselves are well sound-proofed but have basic amenities - no more than 2-star. The attraction with this hotel is the decor - it is beautifully wall-papered and trinkets and photos and other interesting things adorn the walls. Our only beef was the lax security around the keys. As tenants we had full access to other room keys when returning our own keys if the staff were not at the front desk. We felt this was the only quibble about what was a most-enjoyable stay. It is a must-do if you are looking for experiencing Paris

We selected this hotel to spend a short break in because of its position, on the edge of the Marais, and its value.
We found the location excellent as we could walk or 'metro' to anywhere we needed. The nearest metro to the hotel is Hotel de Ville. Some previous reviewers complained of the noise, but what do you expect in a prime position in Paris? It's the bustle and life on the streets that give the city its flavour. Anyway the rooms have double glazing and your own air conditioner, so close the windows!
All rooms appear to be en-suite and there is an electric hairdryer in the bathroom. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and speak English.
There is a pattisserie/cafe in the square next door who do wicked hot chocolate and croissants for breakfast.
We will certainly return to this small, typically French hotel.
