Hôtel des Archives  

This hotel has a really warm feel the minute you step into the lobby. Our was huge for Paris standards and had an equally huge bathroom with a bathtub and plenty of room to move. The beds were really comfy and there was a lot of floor space to spread out 2 months of shopping. The decor was simple and elegant. You can definitely walk to all of Pari's big attractions within 20 minutes from here. The metro is also quite close. Perfect location for exploring the Marais one of Paris's most charming location. Definitely say here again, especially with the special rate from booking.com

The only minus was that there was not really a baggage store room, it just sat in the extended lobby area.

The location is very good

Noisy room old carpet, worn out not a very nice smell

The location and friendly staff.

Poor Wifi especially on the 4th floor.

THe location was great for getting around the Marias area and surrounding venues. Hotel was comfortable but noisy if you opened the window!

The air conditioning was a problem. There was no literature in the room giving hotel information or instructions for tv or air conditioniing etc. Could be noisy if window was open.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great location and great value for money. 110euro does not get you much in paris but this hotel was clean (great bathroom!), comfortable and the staff were really friendly. Best reasonably price hotel i have stayed in in paris.

Room was small, but all hotel room are small in paris

Very well located inside the "Quartier du Marais"

Lousy generic breakfast

Some of the staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was adequate.

Almost everything in our rooms was broken - the air-conditioning, the fridge, the toilet seat and the bin. The carpets were terribly dirty - perhaps to cover the smell of the dirt a very strong air freshener or bleach was used each day throughout the hotel. The 'family room' had two adjoining rooms. They were so small that a couple of adults would not be able to stay in either with any degree of comfort. The windows in one of the rooms did not open - the hotel said it was for the security of children. But in a room with broken air-conditioning, in the summer, this was uninhabitable. I would say this is easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff gave us a 25% discount because everything was broken but these rooms would have been right for backpackers prepared to pay perhaps 30 euros per room per night.

The staff were all very friendly, polite and helpful. The bathroom was clean, bright and had a great shower. The location of the Hotel is in the fashionable Marais district with cafe, shops, galleries etc all within walking district.

The condition of the carpet throughout the Hotel was quite disgusting, it was old, worn out and badly stained to the point where we felt uncomfortable walking barefoot on it.The rest of the decor was quite dated and needed to be freshened up. Luckily we were only booked in for one night (we joined friends staying there) as had our stay been for longer we would most certainly have changed hotels.

Hôtel des Archives is well kept, clean and quite modern, with decent sized rooms/bathrooms in an excellent location within Le Marais. The best thing was probably the lovely staff for whom nothing was a problem.

No bar fridge in my rooms!

The location and the staff.
