Hotel de la Bretonnerie  

The ideal location in the heart of 'le marais'

A pity there is no airco - unfriendly night concierge

It is near the Metro and the Gare de Lyon. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

The person above us was noisy while we were trying to go to sleep.

Location right in the fascinating Marais, with the jewish quarter too, kosher delis etc. hotel has a charm, see under dislikes, but mainly it was location location location. I saw that another reviewer complained it was noisy and it was and room was very warm but that was not a major drawback for me, but it could be for others.

As with most French hotels the staff were brusque. The room was a wee bit tired,having a slightly down at heel charm, bathroom by comparison was lovely. No wifi but compute in lobby with that infernal french keyboard.

Old world charm, good location, rooms were clean

For the price the rooms were tiny, didn't come with breakfast included, no tea / coffee making facilities, over £250 for 2 nights. Not good value for money whatsoever. At the very least I would expect a kettle and not be able to touch either side of the room with outstretched arms

The room was spacious and clean. The neighborhood was very diverse, with many shops and eateries. We were within walking distance of some of the famous sites. All in all a very nice stay. I would definately stay at the hotel de la Bretonnerie again and would suggest this hotel is someone asked me.

I have only one complaint and that is the night manager. He was an older man and fairly resistant to helping with details. He did not speak english well and I realize this was probably the problem. I booked this particular hotel because of an article in Frommer's Budget Travel. I feel that if english speaking tourists are going to book a room at this hotel, there should be someone at ease with the english language, to help answer questions. This was my first trip to Paris and I spent two days at the Crown Plaza. the concierge at that hotel was fluent in english and very helpful with all questions. I realize that we americans do not speak French and I am sure that annoys people also, but it being my first trip to Paris, I needed to have my questions answered.

Friendly and helpful staff.

Quite noisy outside on weekend.

The location was great for discovering Le Marais neighborhood.

The room we had was dark.

Gracious staff, happy to speak English. Fantastic, central location but still quiet. The neighborhood has been faithfully restored and the hotel has too. Charming 17th century beamed rooms but tasteful comfortable baths. Windows that open onto the street.

Location was close to the Marais district and the Hotel de Ville. Easliy accessible to Metro. Room was a comfortable size, clean, charming. Close to excellent cafe and boulangeries.

The location of the hotel is perfect.In the heart of Marais, This wonderfull and cosy 4. arrondissement. The staff is very friendly (we will never learn french as they reply in perfect english) and the rooms are very nice decorated. Maybe a bit small, but that is typical for most hotelrooms in Paris. These hotels were just built that way. Will we come back: I think yes.

Friendly and helpful staff who welcomed us, said hello around the hotel, helped us store our cases, booked a taxi for us and were generally very pleasant. The building was quaint and the rooms were interesting. The bed was comfortable.

The loud music from the shop below our window in the afternoon and the noisy people in the street at night. I would prefer a duvet on the bed rather than blankets. There were no hooks on the doors to hang clothes and the bath and face towels were rather hard. The shower head over the bath was not easy to use without a curtain.

Very kind and helpful personnel.Very very good location, Personnel makes you feel very welcome.
