Great location

Stayed in September 2025

Breakfast could have a bit more choice - no fruit, cereal, cheese etc

Management were a delight . Gwendolinda taking time to show us the nearby metro and even helping us purchase tickets for our ongoing journey from Paris. The room was lovely and spacious, clean and with a super view. Hotel was very well located for Le Marais and the Seine. We would stay here again.

The rooms are very small but the bed was big enough for us, the shower was a glass shower unit, which is not a problem unless you are shy. Who cares about limitations if you are enjoying yourself out and about in Paris.

Great location, nice large windows looking out over the street if you are on that side of the building, the smallest lift I have ever seen but makes for a fun photo, and the lovely and most helpful receptionist, Gwendoline.

I can’t think of anything really.

I love the central location and the laidback atmosphere of the hotel. It’s simple, practical and stylish.

Great area, very friendly staff.

Didn't particularly like that the shower and bathroom sink were in the same space - so everything on the sink counter had to be moved or got wet, but the shower and bathroom finish was nicely decorated. The elevator is incredibly small - but that's a Parisian thing - was happy to have an elevator in any case as I was on the 5th floor.

The hotel was in an incredible location, 1 minute away from the metro, shopping, restaurants, bars and 10 minute walk to Notre Dame - amazing. The price value was exceptionally high and the room was well appointed and freshly renovated (could still smell the new paint). Beds and room were comfy, nice to have air conditioning and a small balcony. Had a good night's sleep and overall the room was quite quiet, although you could hear when people next door got home around 3;00 am - thankfully they went to bed quickly so I was able to fall back to sleep.

No cupboard or hanging space or coat hangers, just hooks, nowhere to sit (except little wooden stool), nowhere for bags. Shower with clear glass in the bedroom. Room seemed to be set up for just 1 person, 1 cup, 1 glass though there was the 2 sets of towels.

Great location. Near taxi rank. Balcony with views. Good wi-fi. Quality croissants at breakfast. Coffee machine available all day. Airconditioning.

Gwendolyn was amazing! The rooms were simply perfect.

A bit noisy when people are not carefull closing the door of the rooms or when they are chatting in the staircase.

Good location in Paris. Friendly staff. Possibility to leave luggage before check-in and after check-out.

The location was amazing, the metro station is right outside, the area is filled with restaurants and stores and it was absolutely beautiful and charming. The staff were lovely, made me feel super welcome. The view from the mini balconies are really pretty too.

We loved the location and would definitely stay here again which I think is always the best recommendation

Great location in the Marais with friendly staff. Parisian breakfast included. Tea and coffee facilities available all day in lobby.

Open shower without curtain. Felt a bit cold and exposed. Drainage (shower and sink) was a bit slow and I ended up flooding half the bedroom and wetting my baggage and clothes on the floor despite a quick shower. Guessing this is a once-off occurrence and if not, I would still choose to stay here again.

Great location. Super cute. Reception host (Gwendolyn) was really lovely. Great view of the street. Felt safe. Tiny cute lift.

Air conditioning wasn't working in the hotel on our first night, but it was fixed by the morning thankfully - because it was very hot. The sink didn't drain well at all. Staff could have been friendlier and more helpful.

Location was fantastic - less touristy than other areas in Paris and close to the metro stop. Room was more spacious than expected, with a wardrobe and shelving for storage. View from the balcony was exceptional!

Has a very, very tiny lift which was not so great (& would be difficult for someone large with lots of luggage) and the winding stairs very narrow too.

Very convenient location near Metro. Charming Gwendolyn on reception made one feel very welcome.

The lift is very small. The glass shower screen needs a safety strip indicating that it is clear glass. I almost walked through it twice. I have pointed this out to the staff and I believe they will attend to this matter.

A good French style breakfast, with good coffee, which was much appreciated.

Great location close to hundreds of cafes, restaurants and places to visit.

The rooms are a bit small, but not too small -- it's Paris after all. The elevator has occasional problems. They will store your luggage for you before check in and after check out, but its right out in the lobby/breakfast room. Still under the watchful eye of the staff, however.

The Hotel Emile is in an excellent location! It's on the edge of the Marais, which is is an interesting area in itself, but it is also only a few steps from Metro St. Paul, which is on the no.1 Metro line, with quick and easy connections to anywhere in the city. The room we had was clean as a whistle, and has the big windows that make a Paris hotel Parisian (upper floor recommended). There is even air conditioning. Breakfast is the simple pastry and coffee that is typically French, but it seems adequate when you eat it. If not, there is an American breakfast place next door. The staff, particularly Gwendolyn at the front desk, are very pleasant and accommodating, English speaking. There's a fun market at the Place de la Bastille that is only a couple of blocks away, as is the Seine river. The Favorite bistro right next door is a great place for people watching from the outdoor tables. You will be in many of the photos tourists take home because they love the profusion of flowers that decorate the bistro. There are restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, clothiers, and other shops galore in the immediate vicinity.
