Hotel Americain

This is a very friendly 2-star hotel in the Marais district. It is very reasonably priced for this part of the city. The location is excellent, just minutes from Place de la Republique, the shops and cafes of Rue de Bretagne, and Place de la Bastille. Minutes from multiple metro stops. Rooms are clean and comfortable, but on the small side and may be tight for two people with suitcases. Note that there is no air-conditioning. Staff is very friendly and helpful with directions, reservations, or anything else needed. The continental breakfast is good and reasonably priced.

This hotel was really an amazing experience! The staff at the front desk are all so nice and polite and helpful. They were always ready with advice or suggestions and even helped us find a nail salon when my nail broke! We didn't eat breakfast there so we don't know how it was but they always had water and croissants in the morning. The room is small but you don't need it to be big anyway since most of the day is spent outside discovering the city. The housecleaning service is really good! Everyday we would come back to clean beds and bathroom. Overall we had a great stay. It's clean, nice and in an amazing location!

Great location, lots of good restaurants around, la marais at walking distance, very friendly staff: we had agreat time.

The hotel is located in an area full of restaurants and bustling nightlife. The hotel staff was nice and welcoming. The hotel was without air conditioning, and because we fell on a really hot weekend it was terrible, the rooms were small with a little smell of mildew that was a bit disappointing The general experience was fine

We stayed at the hotel for 3 days. The check was super easy.We were greeted by Peter who was friendly and very professional. He was able to answer questions and give us directions to a local laundry and several local veggie/vegan restaurants. The room was basic with a generous sized ensuite that even had a bathtub. The windows opened up into a quiet courtyard. The room also had a desktop fan which kept us cool at night. We both slept so well! It was about a 5 minute walk to the metro. There were several places to eat and shop within a 5-10 minute walk.

All in all very great experience for the price especially for a Paris first-timer! I arrived hours before check in time, and was luckily told my room would be ready in about 30 mins. They kindly held my luggage while I grabbed some lunch around the corner where there is a complete street of amazing local restaurants waiting to be tried. Every reception desk tenant was kind and offered to give some local tips and were able to speak English when my french was not very good (which was all the time). On the weekends there were amazing street vendors just a few blocks away. Amazing cafe's steps away as well. Marais neighborhood is so great especially for an authentic but still safe experience. Metro was so close! Also I had a view of the city street and it was everything I had ever pictured from every "vision" of Paris in my mind. Loved the sounds of the street at night as well. Highly recommend for solo stay and or couples! Only downfall was the elevator stopped working my last few days--it was a bummer bc of course the staircase was narrow but wasn't that awful as I was out most of the day anyway. Great room if you're looking to be in the Marais district, which I'm so glad I was. The Wifi would sometimes go in and out which created the only other slight difficulty, but eventually it would come back.

Most of my experience was fine to excellent with the hotel. There was one desk manager who was not a kind, friendly person. In fact anytime I asked him anything he seemed irritated that I was bothering him. Everyone else with the hotel were very helpful.

Great hotel in great location

Great staff. Very kind and helpful.

The female hotel clerk was absolutely the best! Warm, heartfelt greetings from her when we checked in, each morning and when we entered the hotel. Very helpful with directions, riding the metro, etc. The room was on the small side and the large sink had little space for toiletries, but all else was excellent. For the value, would certainly stay there again. The best bakery was the next shop to left of the hotel.
