A 38-room value hotel, My
Hotel in France Le Marais is popular for its chic Marais location and reasonable rates in a high-priced city. Renovated in 2009, the hotel retains a few nice rustic touches -- wood-beamed ceilings in the lobby and breakfast room, and an exposed stone wall -- behind its utilitarian glass-door entrance. It has an elevator -- albeit a tiny one -- which is not always a given in small Paris budget hotels. There's a TV lounge and reading room, bar service, free Wi-Fi, and satellite TV, but no air-conditioning in the rooms. Visitors might want to also check out the 25-room Hotel Castex, which is about a 15-minute walk from My Hotel and closer to the Place de la Bastille; it has larger rooms, a business center, air-conditioning, and, surprisingly, lower rates.

Scene
Bright, simple hotel with a warm, welcoming atmosphere
Warm, welcoming, and budget-friendly, My Hotel
In France Le Marais almost has a hostel vibe. Its bright lobby with
red accents, photographs of iconic Paris scenes, and comfortable leather pouffes to sit on send a low-key message. The breakfast room is cheery, and always abuzz with youthful guests. It’s a popular hotel for couples, solo travelers, and backpackers.
Location
In the desirable Marais neighborhood, within easy walking distance of the Picasso Museum and the lovely Place des Vosges
The hotel is located on a quiet side street in the northern Marais, within a five-minute walk of the Marche des Enfants Rouge, the oldest covered market in Paris. Known for its winding maze of multifaceted streets, the Marais is home to several small, fashionable boutiques, restaurants, art galleries galore, parks, historic buildings, and museums, including the Picasso Museum (an eight-minute walk from the hotel) and the Carnavelet Museum, which is dedicated to the history of Paris. The neighborhood has a rich mix of residents, but it's best known for the gay scene. My Hotel in France is about a five-minute walk to the Saint-Sebastien-Froissart metro station (Line 8), which connects at Place de la Bastille to Line 5 and Line 1. Line 1 crosses east-west across Paris, with stops at sights like the Louvre, Place de la Concorde, and several stations along the Champs-Elysees, including the Arc de Triomphe (Place Charles de Gaulle Etoile).
Rooms
Cheerful and clean -- but quite small, particularly the bathrooms
Rooms are small but cheerfully decorated, with brown or
red accent walls with bed pillows to match, and patterned fabric curtains. Single Rooms each come with one single bed, Double Rooms have queen-size beds, and Twin Rooms have two single beds. Closet and luggage space is sparse. All rooms come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, desks with at least one chair, full-length mirrors, reading lights over the beds, and coffeemakers. The tiny bathrooms have small corner sinks and hairdryers, and some double rooms have shower/tub combos -- others have plastic stall showers. Be aware that the rooms do not have air-conditioning (fans are provided), and Paris can get hot in July and August.
Features
A coffee bar and cute breakfast area with exposed stone walls -- but little else
The hotel has free Wi-Fi, a TV room and lounge area, a computer station with a printer in the lobby, and a small, cheery breakfast room with exposed stone brickwork. A hot and cold continental breakfast buffet is
served every day, but it is not included in the room rate, and guests would probably do better by simply heading to a cafe. The
connecting coffee bar serves drinks throughout the day, and limited room service is
available. The reception desk is staffed 24 hours a day.
