The Hoxton Paris
The room was great, a good size, very clean. A little dark but the bathroom light is good so not awful. The staff are exceptional, Gabriel on the front desk was so friendly and helpful. The bar is really good, we were served both nights by a guy (whose name we didn’t get) but the drinks were great ...

Les Patios du Marais
Room was clean. Front desk wasn't as helpful as we wished. Also, be warned that they don't have elevators. So if your room is upstairs, you will have to carry your luggage all the way.
