The hotel is located in the very modern and safe Le Marais and it’s very easy to get to. There is a Metro Station just across the road (Saint Paul) where you can easily get to all locations within Paris. We were welcomed by the fabulous Gwendolyn who from the get go really enhanced our stay with her cheery chatty personality. She was like our own tour guide, full of recommendations and advice on getting around Paris. For our first time here, we couldn’t have asked for better service. We were upgraded to a larger room, one that included a bath and views of the side streets. We stayed in room 45 and found the room to be perfect for our visit. Large comfy bed, mini fridge, bath tub and toilet which is in its own room. We found the open bath tub to be quite funny and added to the romance of our Parisian stay! There is a small lift just big enough for a person and suitcase but again if we’re spending a trip exploring the city you get used to climbing the stairs! A continental breakfast was included in our stay which included a variety of fresh pastries and bread, with a range of condiments. There is also fresh juice and a hot drinks machine. It was a great little start to our days of exploring the city. When coming and going from the hotel, you leave your room key at the front and there is someone working there 24/7. There’s a supermarket across the road to get any extra supplies and you’re close to lots of lovely shops, restaurants, bars and coffee houses. A very modern and trendy area. I suggest getting the Metro travel card which can be pre loaded for 1 or 2 days. It’s a cheap way of having unlimited travel when out and about. I would highly recommend staying here at Hotel Emile and booking directly through their website. Thank you again to Gwen for being so amazing.

“Christmas New Years stay”

We stayed twice over the Christmas period and then in the New Year when we returned to Paris. We found the staff very helpful, receiving an early check in after a long flight.

We stayed twice over the Christmas period and then in the New Year when we returned to Paris. We found the staff very helpful, receiving an early check in after a long flight. The breakfast is a nice starter to the day and the location is fantastic. Our first room was 40, but when we returned we had 60 on the top floor and corner. This room was the best! We would definitely stay here if we return to Paris.

“Potentially an amazing find, depending on your needs”

This isn't the level of hotel I would normally stay in, but i) it was available in the Olympics at a fair price and ii) it was cancellable. We had a variety of rooms between the family (single, double, twin, suite) so i got a good overview of the possibilities. First the 'negatives' if that's a f… more

This isn't the level of hotel I would normally stay in, but i) it was available in the Olympics at a fair price and ii) it was cancellable. We had a variety of rooms between the family (single, double, twin, suite) so i got a good overview of the possibilities. First the 'negatives' if that's a fair word. It's a bit shabby. Everything is scuffed and not sparkling. But I think it was fundamentally clean. With that out the way, what are the positives: - location is amazing. Just a great area to be in with possibilities for everything on the doorstep - staff are charming and helpful - free breakfast was limited but excellent. Fresh OJ, espresso, croissant, bread. - the suite was really charming. Like having a perfect garret apartment. See the photo for a lovely way to eat breakfast on your terrace. At E350 during the Olympics, this was a bargain. - bed was comfortable (with big pillows) and a/c really worked. Neither would be a given in Paris. If it was freshly painted, this would be heaven. But if you can overlook that, you will get a great Paris experience at a very very good price, in a great area.

“High cost, low benefit.”

Average hotel with high cost for low value. The shower is terrible in the middle of the room, not even functional. They offer “breakfast” which is bread basically. Good location. You need to use some stairs for bringing your luggage to your room, so not necessarily accessible for all.
