When we arrived at the hotel I was hopeful the pictures online hadn't done it justice and that it was going to be much nicer than I'd thought, because the lobby seemed so nice. We went to the room to discover outdated wall colors and bedspreads with little room to unpack. That being said, you're not going to find anything... more

Selected this property because we couldn't find availability at a B&B. Existing reviews very accurate -- rooms are small, clean, reasonably comfortable, simply furnished, with VERY limited storage space, ample hot water and a handheld shower fixture. Location is great -- we had a conference in the Marais, and it was an easy ten-minute walk back and forth. Only complaint... more

My teenage daughter and I stayed at Hotel Americain for 4 nights mid July. The location was great, as it was very easy to walk to lots of places and if you didn't want to do that, the metro was minutes away with good connections. We even got a first hand view out of the window of the Bastille Day... more

Stayed here for 4 nights in December 2007. The hotel is clean, with attractive common areas and is well-maintained. As said before, some rooms are pretty small - we had two single rooms, mine on the second floor was pretty tiny, but my friend's on the 6th was much more spacious, so it may be worth asking when you book.... more

This is a lovely little hotel near the Republique metro station. The room is tiny but when in Paris you don't really stay in the room. What mattered to me was that it was clean, quiet, and we were able to walk by foot everywhere. We walked to the Louvre and back and even to the Eifel. But you don't... more

Group of 3 staying in 1 single and 1 twin room for 7 nights. We all enjoyed a delightful stay at the Americain - the hotel whilst undoubtedly quite basic nevertheless exceeded our expectations. Rooms and en-suite were clean and modern with pleasant views from balcony windows. Breakfast was simple but nice; dining area and reception were particularly congenial. The... more

Booked late so had to move rooms three times in 6 nights. Rooms are old but in good order, reasonably quiet, clean, my only gripe is security. You have to leave the key at reception and when I returned i said my room number to a person who hadnt seen me before and they gave it to me! Second time... more

I stayed in this hotel for six days, doing so as a teacher with a group of 23 very civilised pupils of my school on an art-trip. The hotel Américain is situated in the Marais (3rd), at three hundred metres from Place République, also the nearest metro stop. Why the hotel site would also mention Filles du Calvaire is absolutely... more

Got a good rate from the hotel website. Reception was efficient and spoke decent English. The rooms were clean, small and nothing to write home about. It was a treat to have a lift in a building here in the 3eme but 3 was a crowd! Improved my French with the local channels-only TV and the very naughty couple in... more
