This has been my favorite hotel yet in Paris. Here's why:
It's reasonably priced, located in the heart of the Marais and near multiple metro stops, with great service and awesome rooms. They sprinkled the experience with lots of little (but meaningful) touches from champagne at checkin to fresh flowers on my bedside table. Considering that it's in a pretty active area, I felt like it was pretty quiet inside and definitely felt safe walking around the area at night.
The Room
I booked a double bedroom, and I was surprised that it felt roomier than other hotels I've stayed in Paris. Loved all the welcome touches, from chocolates on my pillowcase, to fresh flowers on my bedside table to the heated towel rack on a wintry day. The bed was comfortable and the pillows and comforter were really soft! I felt like I had plenty of space for my luggage and clothes. I think they must have had the heat on since I wasn't freezing like I feel like I have in most other Parisian hotel stays
Bathroom
The bathroom was super cute, with plenty of space for my things and a shower with a door, so I didn't get everything wet. Loved the heated towel rack that I could turn on in the morning before hopping into the shower. For someone who travels a lot, I often judge hotels by their bathrooms since I spend most of my time there before dashing to an event. Little things like not having hooks for towels or robes really make a difference, and I found that La Chambre du Marais thought through all my needs here.
Service
The service here was spectacular! Everything from holding my bags an extra two days, to posting my postcards, to suggestions for meals, they did with a smile and followed up with me. I find this to be pretty unique for Paris. Granted, I stayed during off-peak season in November, when I've noticed customer service is better across the board, but I think this great service was specific to the hotel.
Lobby and Cafe
Their lobby was festively decorated for the holidays and very cozy. Each time I came in, the concierge greeted me and helped me with any of my questions or needs. I loved that I had the option to get breakfast or champagne with friends in the hotel lobby (for an additional fee). When I checked in, it was also really nice, they offered me tea, water or champagne. If I had not be traveling and in desperate need of a shower, I probably would have enjoyed that before hitting up that champs.
Final Verdict
Loved all the extra little touches that La Chambre du Marais provided to guests, and the fact that all the spaces were cozy, modern and clean. I will definitely be staying here the next time I'm in Paris. Loved it!
