Hotel Aida Marais

Loved the terrace on my room, large enough for a little table and chairs, a delightful place to sit on a sunny evening The bed was very large and comfortable abd the bed linen was good quality soft cotton The shower room, though small, was impeccable and pristine. Excellent shower The area was close to the centre and with lots of good restaurants, cafes, etc

The room was very small and there was very little storage Breakfast could be better - the croissants and bread did not feel very fresh - abd yet there is an excellent bakers’ next door to the hotel, so it should not be difficult to source

The room was small but comfy, large enough for all your stuff and the bathroom was nice. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Overall, the hotel left a charming impression. It's in a decent neighbourhood, very close to the Place de Republique, several metro stations and restaurants.

Getting to the hotel using the Chateau d'Eau metro station (as suggested by Google Maps) at night might not be the best idea, as it tends to be a bit scary for tourists with lots of suspicious looking people. The walls are a bit thin so other people in the hotel are easy to be heard, but it's not that big of a deal.

Great location, good value & decent breakfast. Various Metro stations nearby as well as Gare du Nord & Gare de L'Est. And for those that like a good walk, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Sacre Coeur & Moulin Rouge can all be reached in 30 - 40 min on foot.

Only plastic or paper cups avail in rooms for drinking

the helpful staff, the location, the bedroom. having two Metro stations in walking distance was good. the boulangerie right next door was very special, lovely fresh pastry, bread and coffee, beautiful people. plenty of useful shops right nearby: phone shop across the road, laundrette and small supermarket round the corner, several nice restaurants close by (the Thai street food one really good). the weekend market in the street outside was really interesting too. nice lobby, sitting area in front of hotel. Elevator helpful.

no kettle in room

Well-maintained building and room. Good A/C and wifi. English speaking news on TV. Front lobby was pleasant. In the Marais and close to two metro stations in either direction. Can't beat that. Easy walking with luggage. (Also, a fantastic boulangerie/patisserie next door - Maison Mae...the best pastries and coffee I had in France!)

I didn't think the front desk staff went out of their way to be friendly or welcoming. Sometimes they wouldn't even look up from their desk when we can or went. Usually it was only when I greeted them did they return the greeting. Kind of odd. It appears they had a space in the lobby for one to get hot water, etc. But they didn't offer or tell us what it was and we didn't ask. Marais can get a little crazy with protests and all, but overall that's part of the action and great bars and restaurants. Don't be timid. Get out there.

We liked the location, the room was quiet, we had everything we needed to rest after a full day of exploring Paris. The room was cleaned every day and the boulangerie downstairs was amazing! Good connections with public transport - 2 different metro lines available nearby. Nice restaurants, boulangeries, supermarket and even a market in the area.

Bathroom is quite small and shower gel/shampoo wasn't provided although the previous one was finished. The breakfast was fair, but we would have liked a little bit more diversity, especially if you stay for longer periods. For us,the options were the same in the 4 mornings of our stay.

Fab location about 10 mins walk from Republique Metro. The online check in makes things very simple so we just needed to collect the key card and pay the city tax when we arrived. We had a twin room. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room was small but had usual amenities such as fridge , safe, hair drier. Room is not fancy but it is very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. We left our bags after we’d checked out. Area is very safe feeling and there are lots of great restaurants and bars nearby. Perfect for a city break. Highly recommend- price was a bargain!

The room and bathroom were small but fine, kept very clean. We looked out onto the street, which was nice. One of the best Boulangeries in Paris was on one corner (watch out for the queues!) and a market on another, lots of cafes and eateries around. Close to Place de la Republique. Tea and coffee available all the time in the reception area, cake in the afternoon. A small, friendly hotel perfect for tourists with lots of restaurants in easy walking distance.

The room was very small and it was a bit of a squash to get into the bathroom as the door opened virtually on to the bed.

Great location near metro, cafes, shops..all u need. Staff tried to help and even with some language barrier they really tried. Warm room. Comfortable big bed. Lift.

Tiny bathroom. Shower spacious but very limited space for toilet and sink. Poor quality toilet loo. some towels used and not great quality. No option to turn temperature below 17degrees so we had to have window open. Housekeepers were very load one morning at 8am. But after speaking to reception it did not happen next morning.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! We were in Paris for New Years and paid more because of the timing. Our trip was made so much better by having a great place to stay. I think American are more picky about hotels so this hotel exceeded our expectations. All the reasons we liked this hotel listed below: 1. The bed was comfortable for a European hotel. 2.The bathroom and shower were a good size and newly refurbished. 3.I really liked the big body towels. 4. It was nice to have a window to open when the room got to warm. 5. The hotel is close to 3 different metro stops. 6. There were a lot of great restaurants and shops steps away from the hotel. 7. There is a bakery right next door. The fabulous smell of French Pastries woke us up every morning at 3 AM. We got breakfast every morning there. The pastries were the best we had in the last year of living in Europe. 8. There was a small refrigerator/mini bar in the room. It was a nice surprise because it wasn't listed in the room details. 9. The staff was helpful and nice, especially the man who check us in:-) 10. Paris lives up to it magical reputation- the food, the history, beauty plus the people are so kind:-) We hope to be back again soon:-)

The room got pretty warm at times. Seems they kept the heater on too high in the hallway and stairwell. We kept the heat off in our room the whole time. It was good to have the large window to open.
