Les Jardins du Marais

I have been to Paris 6 times. This is the worst room I have ever had in this city. It is so small my wife and I can not unpack our bags. The location of our room is in the back of the hotel. You have to go down 2 flights of stairs and then up a flight of stairs to get to it. There is a bright light outside our window and the curtains do not close. Huge disappointment!

Absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms have everything you need and more. Also a very accommodating staff willing to help with anything. The breakfast is a great layout with everything you could want and more which was a great start to the day. Convenient location to the metro stops and some fun shopping but still quiet so you can have your window open at night and not be hearing cars and sirens. Love the cute villa between all of the different towers of rooms. I would love to come back here again!

Vous force à partir durant le brunch pour le deuxième service. Scandaleux a ce prix la.

Brilliant location as it’s literally 2mins from the metro station, surrounded by restaurants and grocery stores and close to shopping streets etc.
The infrastructure could use some maintenance: during our stay our bathtub and faucet were both pretty clogged up which makes using the bathroom kind of gross.
Furthermore the walls can be characterized as paper-​thin because we can hear our neighbours speaking very clearly. Thank goodness none of them partied late into the night or had an sexy evening, coz that will for sure make me suffer agh!
I really appreciate the courtyard, it is definitely a nice place to relax and have an alfresco moment after lots of walking.
Will I come back? Probably not though.
Cheerio!

Away from the main street make it ideal as it isn’t too noisy at night.
But at the same time, it’s very accessible from the main street which makes it easy to hail a taxi when needed.
Closest Metro: M8 Saint-​Sebastien-​Froissart
Less than 30 walk away from attractions.

Nice hotel very close to metro stops. We stayed a week, maid service was spotty. Never showed up 2 of the 7 days. Our room was off the courtyard, could be noisey sometimes with loud guests and special events (private parties/​yoga classes). Overall though we liked the place.

Vous arrivez dans un super hotel dans le 11 ème arrondissement.
Le décor est juste magnifique, vous avez une terrasse pour boire des coupes de champagnes.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis, et le service est impeccable. Le personnel est attentif. On est restés la plupart du temps dehors avant d’aller diner.
La nourriture est pas mal, les assiettes sont bien présentées. Nous avons pris du champagne Ice top ! A tester
Un plus pour le foie gras et le moelleux au chocolat et sa glacé vanille qui étaient un pur régal.
Ambiance: Chic, restaurant situé dans un Hôtel en plein marais. De jolies tables, une lumière tamisée et une grande terrasse pour prendre un verre dehors, très agréable.
Compter 30 euros un plat, 17 euros une entrée et 14 euros une coupe de champagne.
Un endroit sympathique, chic à tester pour une occasion

J’avais repéré cette adresse dans un magazine! Les photos d’une cour pavée à la végétation luxuriante m’avaient tout de suite emballée, et je m’y voyais déjà, à l’occasion d’une chaude soirée d’été.
J’ai pu tester cette semaine. Grosse déception…
1ère constatation en arrivant: le photographe est un pro. OK c’est joli, mais pas exceptionnel, et surtout pas hyper clean…
2ème constatation en regardant les prix de la carte: on est bien dans un 4 étoiles
3ème constatation quand la commande arrive (et qui m’achève): on est que dans un 4 étoiles, alors c’est coupelle de cacahuètes…

I stayed here in 2011 for my honeymoon. The hotel is very convenient to multiple metro stops which makes it very easy to get to and from either the train station or the airport as well is getting into downtown Paris.
There isn’t much in terms of nightlife in the area but there are several delicious boulangeries and convenience stores for essentials.
They do hold strong to their 3pm check-​in. We arrived at 1pm after sitting on the train from Avignon for 3.5 hours. Obviously we were antsy to get to our room and settle in. Sadly, they told us they could stow our luggage but we’d have to come back at 3pm. This was disappointing because I’ve always been able to check into a hotel a little early. We left then came back, and found ourselves STILL waiting at 3:15pm when the concierge finally gave us our room keys.
Our room was spacious with double doors that opened out onto the street. We also had a kitchenette with a few pots and dishes that made it very easy to cook meals «at home» to save money. The bathroom is quite small but the fixtures are in new condition and the cleaning staff are very diligent.
Our room was in the Rodin Building toward the back of the complex. It was awkward a few times coming and going because there are many business conferences that are held at the facilities and we had to walk through their meet-​and-​greets to get to our building. They didn’t seem bothered so it was fine but again, just a little awkward.

This was a great stay. When you are blindly stabbing at a place to stay on a trip you only can hope that the place you picked is clean and in an area that didn’t get you shot!
This hotel was very sweet. It looked small from outside but actually spans through 8 buildings. We stayed near the lobby which made our walk shot every morning and night.
The service was wonderful. The staff all spoke enough English to help get you around the city. They are also great at recommending restaurants in the area.
The area is a little bit away from the Marais but not more then a 10 minutes walk which was all worth it. The location was right off the Metro which made it really easy to get around.
The rooms were clean and although small compared to American standards it was nice.
I would stay here again. :-)

It couldn’t get any better then this.
The metro was down the street, everything was close by variety of food places to eat. the hotel service was perfect!!, such helpful friendly staff. If you have any questions they are there ²⁴⁄₇ in the lobby. They bumped us right away to a suite which was perfect, tons of space mini kitchen and even dishwasher. lots of closet space. I would consider this place again. it was just perfect, even helped me communicate with the people at the station. I had dropped my phone on my way here from London. They called for me checking to see if they had found my found since the people at the station did not speak a word of English. I just absolutely loved the staff! helped us saved money on day trips and what tours to take and which to avoid.

Un lieux est chic et tendance, un brunch gourmand qui mêle saveurs de la mer et du terroir.
Un nouveau menu en ce moment à 28 EUR avec entré plat et dessert.

The hotel is pretty good in European standards for Americans. The rooms are small for American standards, but large for European. But, who cares about the size of the room when you’re in Paris– you should be out and about in Paris, not in your room!
We had an amazing room with a tri-​window view of the courtyard. They have cute courtyard with little swing chairs and sitting areas. I’ll try to upload some pictures later.
The rooms usually have small twin beds with a kitchenette to cook small meals and store groceries in. They have the typical closets and room safes as well. The bathrooms are completely redone and modernized with American toilets as well. They don’t have the typical shower curtains though, just a small and simple window near the shower head to prevent the water from going everywhere.
I love their continental breakfasts– it includes eggs, sausages, bacon, cold-​cuts, cereals, yogurts, baguettes and grains, fresh-​squeezed juices, coffee, tea, milk, fruit, cheeses, and NUTELLA! So it’s slightly different from the traditional American continental breakfast– slightly more filling.
The room service is severely overpriced with sandwiches for 20 euro, but what room service isn’t overpriced?
They have an ultra modern, sleek restaurant and lobby with blasts of purple and lots of mirrors and clean-​cut lines. It’s very warm and spring-​like in the lobby and restaurant. The hotel has mirror tables in the restaurant and lobby. They have these velvety deep purple upholstery on the chairs and couches.
They have wi-​fi service that’s free, but it’s a little slow and inadequate for downloading. You can pay more for a faster wi-​fi connection though.
It’s a little pricey, but a deal compared to the apartments in the Marais, where apartments there can be 800 euros per a week. Also, the Marais tends to be a walking district for Parisians and there is plenty of night life, especially at the bars across from the hotel. I loved the easy access to the bars and lounges and plenty of liveliness.

Très belle entrée, belle deco mais les chambre font plus découverte en famille que we en amoureux Petit dej un peu cher (20e) par personne

There is a lot of good and some bad in this review. Also, our stay was from 3 years ago. Sorry.
The room is SMALL!!! For American’s used to staying in Las Vegas hotel rooms, they will definitely feel claustrophobic. Even if you stay in a Best Western (which I actually like), you get two giant Queens with enough space for a desk, an armoire a closet and a ginormous bathroom and still have space to have 8 people camp out on the floor.
No floor camping for the room we got. But what I’ve been hearing from ALL the travel experts are: European hotel rooms are not as roomy as American hotel rooms. So the fact that we got a small dining area, a fridge, a sink, a closet a bathroom and a Queen bed was definitely good enough for us. Especially since we’re tourists and we spent the whole day outside anyway. We only went to the room to sleep.
Like I mentioned earlier, there’s a dinig area and a small kitchen area. It gave me the impression that the building used to be an apartment building they turned into a boutique hotel.
Les Jardin du Marais is actually a group of 6 buildings each with a different theme. You enter through the front building and exit through the side to the courtyard which will lead you to the different buildings.
The front lobby looks like any boutique hotel now popping up everywhere: clean, sleek and modern.
Our room had yet to catch up. Maybe it has by now.
The building is not on central air. It has a wall mount air conditioner. If it acts up on you, just place one call to the front desk and they’ll send someone right up.
The hotel may not be in the most fashionable and expensive part of paris (1 or 3 arrondissement) but it could be a PLUS because it sure was quiet at night. Which we needed after 13 hours of walking during the day. It is in a safe and neighborhood with plenty of chocolatiers, patisseries, boulangeries and such to run to in the middle of the night when you get the midnight muchies.
This hotel is also within walking distance (as with any other place, I guess) to a supermarket which helped us stock up on some essentials to save some mulah.
The hotel is also only about a block away from a Metro station. Plus, plus, plus!!!
The front desk staff are fluent in several different languages and English is one of them. Yey!!!

La reception et le restaurant de l’hotel ont beneficié des talents de Mr Starck pour une mise en beauté, somme toute, réussis.
Par contre les chambres sont une réelle déception…
Il est triste d’y trouver :
— Une déco qui s’ignore.
— Un accès internet avec une carte à 30 euros.
— Un mini-​bar avec 3 choix de boissons gazeuses.
— Une kitchenette digne d’une chambre étudiante.
Seul bon point :
— Un très bon matelas.
Il faut avouer qu’il est très étonnant que cet hôtel ait pu obtenir une quatrième étoile…

Stayed in Ravel building room 113. The bed is a bit small as is the room but the whole place is very quiet, which is a big bonus in Paris. The place is clean (though towels smell a bit of vinegar on certain days) albeit pricey (we paid a bit under 200 euros per night in mid-​May).

un très beau lieu, discret et romantique

On né s’attend pas à tomber sur un hôtel quatre étoiles dans ce quartier de Paris, et pourtant… Les Jardins du Marais sont une sorte de petite perle cachée: derrière la façade sur rue s’ouvre en effet une grande cour calme et verdoyante autour de laquelle s’articulent les chambres et couloirs de l’hôtel (à partir de 350 € la nuit).
Une adresse particulièrement prisée des touristes Américains de bon goût fuyant les palaces des quartiers chics. L’hôtel possède également son restaurant, haut de gamme lui aussi (compter une vingtaine d’euros la grande salade et 30 euros le menu).

Très bel et grand hôtel avec un sublime jardin
Un très beau restaurant avec des tables en verre
Dans notre chambre nous avions un immense lit, TV, frigo, lave vaisselle, plaque de cuisson, bureau, coffre

Restaurant Nul
Alléché par les bonnes critiques, je me suis rendu au restaurant les Jardins du Marais… quelle déception ! Le cadre est certes magnifique, notamment la terrasse, mais rien n’est au niveau et surtout pas le service qui est prétentieux, désagréable, et incompétent ! Et la qualité des plats né relève pas le niveau, la cuisine est elle aussi prétentieuse et complètement artificielle, sans aucune saveur ! Quant à la clientèle, c’est une collection de portraits de ploucs américains et espagnols ! Un conseil: fuyez cette adresse…

Un pti coin de paradis au coeur de Paris
Le Home Plazza Bastille est passé hôtel 4 étoiles il y a un peu plus d’un an. Il s’agit en fait d’un regroupement de plusieurs bâtiments rassemblés autour d’une cour centrale où il fait bon se détendre maintenant que les beaux jours sont revenus. Hôtel très bien entretenu, alliant raffinement et modernité, sans en faire un stéréotype de palace avec dorure et cristal à profusion. Là, raffinement et bon compromis entre moderne et ancien. Aussi, qui n’a jamais rêvé de se délasser dans un bon bain, entouré de marbres plus beaux les uns que les autres. Un lieu très agréable où le personnel est souriant, disponible et très avenant. De plus bien situé, derrière le Cirque d’Hivers, entre République et Bastille. Un endroit intimiste, convivial, où il fait bon se retrouvé après une soirée parisienne. Je n’ai malheureusement pas encore eu l’occasion d’y tester la restauration, mais la carte affichée semble présenter de nombreuses réjouissances ! Mais ça, se sera pour un prochain commentaire !

Le Restaurant
Le restaurant: «Les Jardins du Marais», est un adorable restaurant situé rue Amelot, à qq encablures de Bastille, donc dans ma zone de prédilection (je travail dans le coin), et à l’intérieur de l’Hôtel Home-​Plazza. Petit, sobre, moderne, sympa fréquenté par pas mal de «businessmen (& women) pour des déjeuners d’affaires le midi. Les serveuses sont souriantes, la nourriture et bonne et la formule du Midi est d’un bon rapport qualité prix.
