Hotel Marais Grands Boulevards

The staff, location, and room were outstanding, making my stay truly enjoyable. The area is incredibly convenient, with everything you could possibly need just steps away.

The location is perfect. right next to a metro. About 30-40 minute walk to many of the Parisian attractions (but you could also use the metro and bus). It is in a great area for getting food in the evening, in a very busy neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants (which meant it felt very safe at all times). We didn't have any breakfast so can't comment on that. It is right across from a supermarket (and there are loads in the area also) if you prefer to get your own lunches. The sweets by the door are a lovely touch.

I particularly loved the bathroom in this room. My daughter and I chose to have what I would call a "split queen" (two beds) and they were very comfortable. But the bathroom was great! The "tile" was in a wood pattern so it looked like wood. This was very attractive. Also, the shower head was a "rainforest" shower (from the ceiling) which was INCREDIBLY fantastic since I am 6'1" tall! In France I have often had to "bend over backwards" to get my hair washed! I loved our room - it overlooked the street. There is a fantastic cafe across the street (best french onion soup and also hamburger I have had), plus next door a pizza place where the pizza is "magnifique"! You are very close (around the corner) from the Metro. I also felt safe in the area. We did not purchase the breakfast for every day, though we did have it on 2 days of our stay (we were at the hotel for 12 days). They do a GREAT job. (but La Mie Caline - around the corner - has lovely pastries!) We even received a thank you note from the management with *amazing* Odette treats! If you look at my photos they are all of food LOL! We didn't take any photos of the hotel itself or our room. Sorry about that. If you happen to want a blow-by-blow of our trip, I blogged every day at BeABondGirl.com - including links and history to where we went and what we did :-)

It was comfortable and they upgraded my room! - the view was stunning and the I really loved it. Location was just wonderful! The staff went over and above for me, and they truly are eco - friendly with free water (cold, sparkling & Temperate! Always a plus!

Overall, good experience. Lots of restaurants nearby, safe part of the city, decent walking distance to and from the Adidas Arena.
