Vieux Marais

Handsome, clean rooms with very helpful staff and resident bulldog in the lobby. Close to Les Halles, the Marais, Hotel de Ville, BHV, Centre Pompidou - lots of dining choices and shopping near by.

Directions: between Pompidou and the Marais

I was a little worried when I first walked into the lobby of this hotel -- I had booked it for my mom and me, and my mother can be rather picky when it comes to hotel rooms. All worries were unfounded though. The owners welcoming and very helpful. Their rooms were kept quite clean and were rather spacious, though somewhat oddly shaped. We actually ended up seeing two rooms, and the first was much nicer than the second. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a good hotel room that is reasonably priced in Paris.

Unique Quality: If you like dogs, you'll love the house bulldog. She sits by the counter in the lobby every morning and is more than happy to accept your attention.
No interesting views, but the location is great -- next to the Centre Pompidou, in the heart of the Marais... great shopping, falafels and bars right down the street. Plus, it's in a quiet side street, so you get the best of both worlds.
Air Conditioning too!

Directions: Les Marais, a block from Centre Pompidou.
