Hotel Beaumarchais

This is tremendous value. A small hotel but very comfortable. The rooms are smallish but absolutely fine. Our bathroom was roomy despitemail what I had read in previous reviews. The staff were extremely helpful. Breakfast was good with a good choice. It was extremely good value - an inexpensive hotel which exceeded expectations.

The hotel is a local hotel not a chain,it's about 30 mins away from your main tourist attractions which is brilliant If you want to experience local life. The hotel staff cannot do enough for you here and are absoulty brilliant to accommodate every need. I will definitely be booking here again.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, booked through Expedia on a very good deal. The hotel is located in a good position with two Metro stations nearby and easy walking distance to Notre Dame and the Louvre through the Marais area. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. The room was small (this was expected) and clean and tidy - but the shower was tiny (if you drop the shower gel you'll have to get out to recover it - and some people I know wouldn't fit at all!). But the room was kept clean and we weren't planning to spend a lot of time in there anyway. There is a lift available, but this only just fits two people (without luggage) so it's snug to say the least - but it does save walking up the steep stairs. Breakfast was a delight - some people had recommended not having it in the hotel, but the selection of croissants, rolls, meat, cheeses, fresh fruit, juices, yogurts etc. made it a nice way to wake up and set yourself up for the day. All in all a pleasant stay.

I say "almost-budget" because even though Paris is expensive, this hotel isn't that cheap. But it definitely has a "budget" feel. The hotel is cute, clean, and well-located. The neighborhood is quiet and without the tourist rush, but within a quick Metro ride to all the attractions. There are 3 Metro entries near the hotel: Oberkampf; Filles du Calvaire; and Saint-Sebastien - Froissart. Italian Style Cafe is a couple blocks away from the hotel on the corner of Rue Amelot/Rue Saint-Sebastien. The food was delicious. There is also a large grocery/market about 1/2 block away. The hotel itself is ok. My room was tiny, tiny and the bathroom was even tinier. The shower was a step-up platform shower that I couldn't even turn around in, let alone bend over. Impossible to shave your legs or heaven forbid you drop your soap. You literally have to get out of the shower to pick it up. The shower, I felt, was not safe. The tile was black and the curtain dark brown. You can't see anything when you are in there. Also, the bare water pipes are just bolted to the wall. I scalded my hand more than once. And trying to step down from a wet shower floor to the bathroom floor (about 10 inches) without any handles is seriously difficult. I began to dread getting in there. The WiFi worked well everywhere I was in the hotel, as did the A/C. But it got really cold and rainy one night and I could not get any heat no matter what I did. The single room I was in had a nice suitcase suitcase platform, small closet (but not enough hangers) and hooks on the bedroom and bathroom walls. (Although the hooks in the bathroom were falling out of the wall as they did not use cement anchors.) Hotel information says there is a safe in each room. I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it. ???? There was ONLY ONE PLUG in the entire room/bathroom. ONE PLUG. And it had a lamp plugged into it. Made charging multiple devices impossible. It is the digital age. I would suggest they supply an extender for the one plug or attempt to add more outlets. The bed was clean and comfortable, even though I only had a single. I didn't really notice or feel uncomfortable. The breakfast offered was pretty good but I felt €12 was a bit much. I guess if you are really hungry and want full breakfast everyday, that would be ok. But some mornings I just wanted juice and a croissant. But they do offer fresh croissant, coffee, juice, milk, cereal, fruit, eggs to boil, yogurt, a few meats/cheeses. There is a tiny, tiny lift. One person and one suitcase can barely fit, but very welcome to avoid the narrow winding staircase with luggage.

We stayed here for 2 nights with a package deal so for the money we paid I simply cannot complain. The hotel staff were extremely accommodating speaking excellent English and offering local advice which was great. The hotel is located on a fairly busy street but has a number of local supermarkets and a metro station just round the corner with access to the whole city. The room was incredibly basic and requires updating! The windows in the room are badly sealed and you can hear the busy street at night. The en-suite is far too small to be comfortable and does't feel the cleanest place to be. WIFI was included but was simply terrible so I used my data service. Breakfast is great with a lovely selection of fresh pastries, fruits, yogurts etc.

I stayed twice more at this property on my recent European trip. As always, they are welcoming and helpful, a true home away from home. Great location near the Marais, nice rooms and excellent service.

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights after finding a deal on Holiday Pirates. The hotel is located within a few minutes walk from two metro stations and was easy to find. The location is good and you can walk to Notre Dame in 20 minutes, or about 30 to The Louvre. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby too. The staff member on reception was very welcoming and very helpful, as were all members of staff we met. The reception is open 24/7. The room was larger than expected, and was basic but comfortable. It overlooked a busy street but was not too noisy and we slept very well. The only downsides were that the bathroom was a little claustrophobic and shower slightly too low. The pillows weren't great but this is more personal preference. Breakfast is served from 8-11 and was fantastic. The croissants were endless and very fresh, with good selection of meats, cheese and jams etc. Would stay again!

I stayed here for about two weeks for work. During breakfast (which was completely satisfactory) the first day, the receptionist put ABBA on, because he had understood that I was Swedish. I thought that was a very cute detail. They were also easy (but firm) with my friends and I when we made too much noise. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to other people traveling with friends or for work.

I stayed here with two friends over the weekend. We booked through a travel agent and got a package deal so I don't know the price of our stay, but it was delightful and I'm sure we got more than we paid for. The rooms are clean and so well heated (I hate being cold!) and the staff are kind and friendly and we're even able to help us switch rooms last minute without being horrible or bureaucratic about it. The breakfast was amazing, full continental spread, and there's a bunch of trendy cafes, bars and restaurants nearby so that was handy. It's also very close to the metro Obenkamp so its extremely convenient. Thanks to Patrick and the other staff for an enjoyable weekend!
