| We stayed at this hotel for a couple of days. The area is excellent, which was the reason we chose it. It's quiet at nights and you can open your windows for fresh air. That's about all I can say positively about the hotel. The air conditioning in the room was not working. Internet access is paid and you need to go and obtain a scratch card, even if you want to log on from their terminal in the lobby. The service is not exceptional, neither it is merely good -- after retrieving a couple of bags from the storage, for us to go to the airport in the taxi, the doorman simply dropped them on the floor in front of me and went back to reading his newspaper. I would expect the bags to be delivered to the trunk of the taxi at any decent hotel with a basic idea of hospitality. I won't stay at the place again, but would rather go for any of the 2-3 star hotels closer to Marais. |

| It was a small and cosy hotel in classic decor. We spent a pleasant stay in Paris. One thing I advise them is to furnish little towels in the room for washing our body while taking shower. |

| I would recommend this hotel to anyone. This is the best stay I've ever had in Paris because of the hotel. While I was traveling on business this trip, I would like to come back with my husband. I am sure that we will enjoy it just as much as I did. |

| I was worried when I booked this hotel, as some of the reviews were less then positive. But when we turned up first impressions were great, a really nice looking small hotel. Staff spoke english and the environment was great.
The room was really quiet and could hear very little noise. The bed was massive :-) The bathroom, bright, nice and clean.
Breakfast was a buffet, in fantastic surroundings. Food was plentiful. English, continental, fruit, cereal..... everything. It was fantastic, and did I mention the surroundings were superb :-)
We only had a weekend in Paris, and so not much time was spent at the hotel, but what time we did spend there was FANTASTIC. I would definatly reccommend this hotel to others |

| Excellent location, good size room, poor business offering, free wifi access would be welcome, breakfast way too expensive given the location. |

| I booked into the hotel because it had wireless access and I needed to do some work in the afternoon. The desk in the room was NOT set up for working. Breakfast very expensive so I had mine at a local bar for less than €5. |

| We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Beaumarchais, the room was beautiful and incredibly light with large windows overlooking the courtyard. The room was clean and fantastically comfortable and the location within 3 minutes walking distance of the Metro station was faultless. We cant wait to return. |

| Nice hotel, very clean, romantic bedroom but really too small; new and clean bathroom. The location is very close to places des vosges and less than 2 blocks to the metro (secondary lines). I did not have breakfast, but I had a look at and it seemed good (a bit expensive). |

| The first room they took me to was directly under pounding, drilling, endless construction. No one was surprised that I asked for another room within minutes; the staff even told me that it was a good idea since the construction started at 7 AM. It was an odd introduction. I just had to wonder if they thought I wouldn't notice. Then the second room kept losing its electricity for the first few hours and the bellman kept asking accusatorily if I was plugging anything in and checking around the room as if I had lied. But the second and third days went without incident except that the walls are really thin so I was privy to the couple next door's arguments and early morning departure. Still, as Parisian hotels go, this one's a pretty good deal. |

| I found the rooms very small and was expecting bigger rooms for a 4 star hotel. But it was very quiet and clean so in the end I was quite happy with my stay in the Hotel |

| The hotel and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We had a great stay. Only issue was that the fire alarm went off at 10PM one night and staff didn't seem to know what was going on or what guests should do. As it turned out, it was a false alarm. |

| Lovely hotel, excellently located, very satisfied. The staff are friendly and helpful. Room looked out on an interior courtyard. It is very quiet and the Marias is a nice neighborhood with many good restaurants andd walks. Near Beauborg, Picasso Museum, galleries. |

| Whilst this hotel may be of an acceptable standard, compared to other hotels I have stayed at, with the same 4 star classification, it was not acceptable. To start with on walking in we did not find it a warmly, inviting atmosphere. We arrived at 10pm after hectic travel only to find that the room appointed to us had to electricity so we had further delays whilst a new room was sorted. The double room whilst clean, was small and the bed cramped. The bathroom, again was small. To the extent when you sat on the toilet you are facing the bath screen inches from your face. The only photo on the website depicts a spacious bathroom with a sunken bath - definately was not this bathroom! Air conditioning appeared not to work. Even when we approached staff about the warmth nothing was done. It was very warm even with the window open all the time. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room which i would consider standard. When we requested tea and coffee we were charged room service. £8.42 for a pot of tea is robbery. No ironing facilities available to the rooms. We had to use the hotel laundry service to get anything ironed. £10.50 for a shirt and trousers to be ironed, probably average for a laundry service but not when no other facilities are available. I have never stayed in a 4/5 star hotel where tea/coffee making and irons were not provided. If you decide to have breakfast it will cost you £15 each. Which their attempt at an English cooked breakfast was very poor. Congealed and luke warm from being stood too long. A previous guest had reported that there was never anyone in the bar. The reason - the bar is attached to the dining room. No atmosphere. And no dedicated bar person - the bar is served by the front desk staff. I think the bar is there only for the purpose of adding it to the list facilities and is discouraged by the extortionate pricing. As an example, one bacardi and coke will cost just over £10.

| A lovely wee hotel, room was a bit small but adequate, thermostatic shower a bit temperamental. Marais district very handy for all attractions and for those with pets there is a pet shop round the corner. |

| very good service from the staff either I wanted to iron my shirt late at night or reserving taxis. They even knock on the door every afternon to ask if everything is ok. The situation is as we knew excellent. Two thing that we disliked, was the far to expensive minibar and that the breakfast was'nt included in the price. And if we should eat there, it would cost us 19 euro each ! |

| I would definitely stay there again. It was lower at its price point than other hotels in the nighboring areas, but this was a great loaction, everything was lovely, and I thought it was a real value. Private covered parking was available for the same fee as public lots, and we were only changed for the breakfast we attended. A really nice place, small, cosy, helpful, staff spoke English too. |
