We loved staying at Julie’s Hotel Au Coeur Du Marais. Our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated and spacious, we think, due to its being the room normally reserved for people with disabilities. Despite its being right next to the reception desk, our room was quiet, and must have been the only room in the hotel with a small outdoor patio. We opened the patio door at night, as otherwise, the room would have been too hot for sleeping, even with the radiator turned off.
We appreciated the large, marble-floored bathroom with powerful shower and complimentary bath items. It was frustrating the hotel urged its guests to “Be Kind to the Environment and hang up towels for re-use”, only to find that the cleaner has removed all those carefully hung up towels and replaced them with a complete set of new ones. The bed was comfortable after long days’ walking but would have benefited from another couple of pillows or cushions. We loved having Netflix.
The hotel itself is situated down a quiet street – no traffic noise here – and there are several good bars and restaurants within a few steps away, including the very authentic French restaurant directly diagonal from the hotel’s entrance. In addition to that, the bakery that is right next to the nearby Arts et Métiers metro stop won first prize in 2015 for Best Baguette in the city. There are many cool and interesting things within easy walking distance from the hotel (Little Red Door #36 in the World's Best Cocktail Bars): in our two days in Paris, we only used the metro twice.
We have visited Paris numerous times over the year, often staying in a nearby hotel that is more expensive, though not nearly as quiet, spacious, or convenient as Julie’s Hotel Au Coeur Du Marais. We feel lucky to have found it through Air BnB and would definitely stay here again in the future.
