“Great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 10, 2012

A fairly simple 3 star hotel in the Marais, near the Hotel de Ville, easy stroll to the Pompidou Centre and the Seine. Friendly, efficient staff. Clean and comfortable room if maybe a little on the small side. No a/c. Nice place, good value.

“Very good service, breakfast and location, but needs some improvement to realize its potential.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012

The good points:
1. The staff at the reception were helpful and knowledgeable.
2. The breakfast was generous compared to most hotels in Paris, with a good variety and friendly service. There were oranges and a squeezer for fresh juice, and fresh bread and croissants, cereals, cheeses, hams and yogurt were freely available.
3. The hotel's location is very good, in the center of the Marais and near the Metro and many central bus routes.

However, there were some negative points that detracted from the stay:
1. Check-in time. The reservation page gives a check-in time of 2 p.m.; however, when we arrived at 2.30 p.m., we were told that the room was not ready and the check-in time as 3 p.m. In fact, we were asked to come back a few minutes after 3 p.m.. We returned at 3:30 p.m. and the room was indeed ready.
2. The room, number 12, was divided by a wall so the sleeping area felt cramped. The bathroom, however, was fine.
3. There was only one electrical socket and we had to ask for a multi-socket plug for our laptops.
4. There is no air conditioning: there was a small fan, which we had to balance on a chair as there was no stand.
5. On one occasion there was no cold water for an hour and a half.
6, Once we hung the sign to clean the room right after breakfast, but when we came back at 2 p.m. the room had not been cleaned and sign was still there. They offered to clean the room immediately, but we wanted to rest and were upset that the room had not been made up, so we declined.

“Lying desk clerk- terrible room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 26, 2012

I had stayed here several years ago and found it decent. This trip I was shocked at how badly treated I was. I had reserved a room several months in advance and specifically requested a quiet room. I was given a ground floor room during the summer facing the noisy street. The rooms have no AC and so the window must be open. I asked Patrick at the desk immediately about switching rooms. He LIED to me that there was construction going on in the rear of the hotel--a lie that was revealed to me later by another person at the desk who told me that the construction had been finished last year. Patrick resolutely refused to change my room even though there were rooms available. I was unable to sleep as the street noise from the garbage collection early and the gay bars across the way day and night was extraordinary. Patrick is rude and nasty and unwelcoming, and made my stay unpleasant. I had the idea that customers were to be appreciated but if Patrick, a 30 year veteran desk clerk, doesn't think you are cool-too bad for you. Find another hotel --do yourself a favor--this one is nothing great to begin with--shabby, small lumpy bed, worn and unwelcoming; the addition of a hostile desk clerk makes it a bad deal.

Room Tip: Stay away from this hotel--unpleasant place.

“Paris Reasonably Priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012

Third time back at this hotel, paying only 10 Euros more than in 2004.
Excellent value, comfortable, great staff, in the center of Le Marais.
No pool. Only breakfast provided, but it's good and varied.
Le Marais can be loud and boisterous, but hotel is a good retreat.
No air conditioning, so look out in August.
Overall, a very good deal. Highly recommended.

“Great stay at the heart of Paris fabulous Marais”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 17, 2012

This hotel starts with a real advantage, being located at the heart of the delightful Marais. The room we had was really small, as it is very typical to the Paris standarts, we barely had enough space to open one bag at a time. But altough lacking space the room was incredibly charming with a four poster bed, nice decor and a nice warm feeling with a window facing the rue de Moussy. Surprisingly the bathroom wasn´t so small, and just as the room had a very nice decor. The reception area is also very elegant in that very chic-cosy parisian way, and the staff was always very nice, helpfull and welcoming. Ah, and there´s free wi-fi all over, quite a bare necessitie today. We had breakfast at the charming "cave" on one of the days, it was nice, but remember: you are in Paris and going out to have breakfast can be quite a great way to start the day, and at the Marais chances double! The Hotel de la Bretonnerie was a great experience, it makes you feel you are really in Paris, and that´s saying something! I would definitely return!
