The hotel is located in a great area. Walkable, close to restaurants, metro nearby. It is a very basic stay, but exactly what you need in Paris since we were barely in the room. Breakfast had nice options and hotel staff were always eager to help.

We recently stayed at Hôtel Marais de Launay and unfortunately found that it didn’t live up to the high ratings we had seen on Expedia and Google. At $385 CAD per night, we expected a much better experience—especially given other hotel options in the same price range. While the location is close to a metro station, the immediate surroundings were disappointing. The hotel is nestled among several bike repair garages, giving the area an industrial, cluttered feel. Right next to the hotel, there’s also a tattoo shop that regularly attracted a group of people who loitered on the sidewalk, forcing us to walk around them just to get by. The rooms were much smaller than pictured online, and the overall space felt more like an old apartment converted into an inn than a proper hotel. The shower was extremely tight—I’m 6'1" and could barely move inside it. One of the most frustrating issues was the air conditioning. It wasn’t working during our stay, and despite raising the issue with the staff multiple times, it was never resolved. We were lucky the weather wasn’t too warm, but still had to sleep with the windows open—leading to a lot of street noise and very disturbed sleep. On the positive side, the concierge staff was friendly and welcoming. But unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for the shortcomings in comfort, cleanliness, and value. In hindsight, we regret choosing this hotel based on inflated online reviews and would not stay here again.

The room was roomy by Paris standards and was full of amenities and things were used and needed and it was air conditioned. An excellent location and small but lovely hotel!

Great stay

Last minute choice. Stayed in ground floor room which had a bit of a weird layout as entering room had to go down 7 steps to bathroom location then up 3 steps for bedroom. Bed was very comfortable. The shower was one of the best hotel showers - hands down. And I have traveled alot. Was able to leave luggage before and after stay. Great location too with neighborhood cafes and restaurants - very local no tourists!

Front desk was friendly and nice. But the room had some issues - didn't drain well, water leak, hard to close the door, etc. Nothing serious but some minor problems. Also we heard emergency bell 3 times during our stay. Nothing serious, but someone spoked. One morning they started to clean the room (remodeling) at 8am and it was noisy.

This was our first time in Europe so I have no basis to compare with other French hotels. The staff all treated us wonderfully and we were very happy with the quiet comfort we enjoyed, staying in the back building of the hotel. The only disappointment for me was that there was no valance above our window and the late morning sun was not conducive to sleeping in late.

This small hotel looked good in photos, but was deceptive. We had two rooms here; the double superior rooms, at $200 a night each room. We paid extra for the superior rooms, and the size was decent. I had two requests, to be on a high floor and away from the elevator. I had a fairly decent room on the 5th floor, but my room was immediately located right next to the elevator. The door frame of my room shared the door frame of the elevator. All night long was the sound of the grinding of the elevator, and I barely slept at all. I asked to switch rooms, and there was nothing available for a week.The bathroom was crazy dirty. I was afraid to take a shower, and I never did for 10 days, but used the shower in my friend's bathroom instead. The shower was so nasty I was literally afraid I was going to get foot fungus from the nasty shower. The shower was literally black and growing fuzzy mold where the doors open and close. I complained and they try to clean it twice but it was still black and disgusting after their two attempts to clean it. It would have been easy to clean with a toothbrush, elbow grease and some bleach. I had two kinds of bugs in my bathroom, and they sprayed heavy chemicals, but they persisted. I asked to have a manager speak with me and no one ever made any attempt to contact me. This hotel was a decent location, just off of a busy street, with shops and patisseries nearby. If you want a nice, clean place to lay your head at night,go elsewhere

Amazing service and hotel overall!

Fantastic experience! We traveled with 2 kids and got the adjacent rooms and the setup was perfect for a family of 4! Service was top notch and location is amazing. We will definitely stay here again. Keep in mind adjacent means next to. There is no shared doorway. Hotel was clean truly wonderful! Oh the beds were also comfortable which is rare for a hotel!

Great location! The hotel is near a Metro station and lots of dining options. We had a very short walk to Place des Vosges. The hotel staff was very responsive. Everything was kept spotless. Not the quietest hotel in the world, but about what I would expect for Paris.
