Hi, I%26#39;m going to Paris in late October and would like some recommendations for a 3-4 star hotel in the Marais area, anywhere inbetween Hotel de Ville and Bastille. I%26#39;ll be travelling with my husband and son (under 2) I lived in Paris for many years so I know the neighborhoods very well, but its been a while since I%26#39;ve been so am not up to date on the hotels or the prices. I%26#39;d also like some good restaurant/food recommendations for that area, for example are the following places still in the Marais, L%26#39;Elephant, Les Fous d%26#39;en Face, Le Gamin de Paris, L%26#39;as du Falafel ?

I have heard that Hotel De Nice is nice -- and also I stayed at Hotel de la Bretonnerie a coupld of years ago -- very clean, small rooms, nice people and inexpensive.

Try using www.parishotels.com and www.france-hotel-guide.com by that particular area...
then, check your choices on the Tripadvisor reviews. Then, post here for your top %26quot;3%26quot; and get additional feedback.

Dear Fox12:
In the past I%26#39;ve stayed at the Caron de Beaumarchais, which would be closer to the Hotel de Ville than to the Bastille. It is also a short walk from there to Mariage Freres, the oldest tea house in Paris, and a great place for lunch or afternoon tea. On the same street as Mariage Freres (Rue Bourg Tibourg) is the restaurant Au Tibourg, which I really liked. It%26#39;s been awhile since I stayed at the Caron de B.-, and not all of the reviews are now favorable. The rooms, as I recall, were small, which is not unusual in Paris, but charming and spotless. I always stayed in rooms at the back, so they were extremely quiet. The breakfasts were very tasty and served in a lovely cave.
Bon chance and bon voyage!

Hotel Saint Merry is a good idea, very well-located, in le Marais, very clean, comfortable, nice staff..

Have a good trip!

Thanks Travel Nutty %26amp; everyone else. I know all these hotels, and they are all in great locations. I love this area of Paris, and miss it dearly. Lived there for 8 years, and haven%26#39;t been back since 98. Will keep you all posted on our trip.
