Hôtel Le Marcel Paris Gare de l'Est

A very clean and comfortable hotel at a very reasonable price.

Good

Hotel was fine good value compared to others in area, bathroom/shower wasn’t best condition but convenient and staff very helpful. Area outside of hotel can be a little intimidating.

So very convenient access to transportation to anywhere. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice bedding and pillows. The fridge and a/c were great. I would suggest a couple more hooks in the bathroom for towels and a robe, also more room lighting. The only thing that was a bit of an issue was the size of the shower. It is very small and water gets out easily. Over all I enjoyed my stay.

Property manager and staff all very friendly

The property is close to trains and metro lines.

very pleased overall

Friendly, clean and comfortable.
Very good value.

Linen is clean but bathroom design is not 100%. If they can change the carpet to laminate floor or PVC floor it will make the room look a lot cleaner.

Perfect location when needing to be near the station. Lovely staff. Just slightly let down as nothing in the fridge (as advertised) and only one bath robe instead of two. But minor things and easily remedied. Would definitely recommend.

Too expensive for such small places

Cramped. Tiny beds. Bathroom door jammed and would only open halfway. Burned out bathroom lights. Shower drained so slowly that water needed to be turned off after 2-3 minutes to prevent flooding. Constant fan noise from adjacent room’s AC. Could not wait to leave.

We were there in 21 June, 2024. We did not know that it was a celebration of music on the longest day of the year. It was fantastic! Everywhere we went there was music blaring and dancing and singing and skating, and people just having a blast and living in the moment! There was a DJ playing music u til midnight across the street. It was fantastic. When it stopped it was quiet enough to sleep.
The hotel is in a prime location for public transportation and for food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time there. Will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Paris.

The place was big enough considering we are in Paris. There’s also a Metro just outside the hotel and grocery. Plenty of restaurants and fast food in a walking distance.
Breakfast was good, staff are all very nice! Highly recommended!

The hotel location is convenience as there are many restaurants around and very close to Metro station. The hotel house keeping was excellent and supplies are very good. However, there is no desk in the room. There is no mirror near a electrical socket where you can use the hair drier conveniently.

Good central location for train station and walking to various landmarks.
Really lovely room and friendly helpful staff.
Very clean and modern with good secure access.

The only downside is that the street outside was very noisy all night long, but I imagine this is just what Paris is like.

Great location for a stop over.

Le Ballu is a great small hotel option in the Saint Lazare/Pigalle area of 9th arrondissement. The hotel itself is very nice inside, love the deep colors, staff was very attentive and helpful. We had one dinner in the hotel restaurant, which was top quality and a nice ambiance in the back courtyard, plus excellent wine by the glass at reasonable prices. Our room was a bit bigger than Paris-standard, nicely laid out, very cool finishes. And the bed was sooooo comfortable! The area around the hotel is a real Paris neighborhood, which was great. Extremely quiet street, but just around the corner everything you could want in terms of coffee, different food options, etc. Walking distance to Gare Saint Lazare if you need that, and Metro close by. Far enough from the nightlife of Pigalle, which we don't need, but you could get there easily if you wanted that.
