The Originals Boutique, Hotel du Vieux Saule, Paris Le Marais

“A clean and pleasant small hotel. Divine area.”

A very small cute hotel. The personnel were extremely helpful over 4 days. Clean and compact. Adequate breakfast. Situated amongst lots of intriguing Parisian side streets and easy walking distance to Notre Dame.

“Quaint Hotel in ideal location”

We'd booked our stay back in 2020 but unfortunately this was delayed due to the pandemic. We were therefore so pleased when we were able to finally have our break away in Paris and Juliette and the team were nothing but friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is situated in the arty area of Paris and is ideally located to both Temple and Republique Metro stations (the latter of which is a 5-10 minute trip to Gare Du Nord, so handy for the Eurostar!) I would certainly recommend the hotel if you want a quieter stay but with easy access to the main sights.

Overall, I really enjoyed this sweet, somewhat quirky, unique, charming little boutique hotel. When I first checked in, I was given a tiny little room with a tiny bathroom. Would have been rather uncomfortable to stay in for a week. So, I inquired about it at the front desk, and they graciously moved me the next day to a much larger room with three lovely windows looking out to the street. I stayed the week and really enjoyed my time exploring the area (Le Marais) and Paris, and then coming back to this charming hotel each afternoon. The breakfast served in the quaint lower level dining room was tasty and well-appointed. The staff was always friendly and helpful. I think the key with staying at this hotel is making sure you get the right room. If you look at the photos of the rooms, they are all very different. Some look even nicer than the larger room I was ultimately given. Some appear to have very nicely updated, modern bathrooms, while other bathrooms are older and a bit cramped. But this is the city of Paris! I'd much rather stay at a charming boutique hotel like this than a standard hotel that you could find in just about any city around the world. C'est magnifique!

“Good location, decent room, pretty basic but ok”

This lobby of the hotel is pretty modern but it's a bit dated inside the hotel. It's in a great location and I guess that's the price we're paying. They still have sheets and blankets on the beds, which I find a bit unhygenic - those blankets aren't being washed in between stays, for sure. The br... more

This lobby of the hotel is pretty modern but it's a bit dated inside the hotel. It's in a great location and I guess that's the price we're paying. They still have sheets and blankets on the beds, which I find a bit unhygenic - those blankets aren't being washed in between stays, for sure. The breakfast is super basic, so I don't recommend paying for it, there's plenty of restaurants nearby that do a better, cheaper breakfast. I booked a superior room which was ok for the size. The service at the front desk was decent. The lift is INCREDIBLY tiny, two slim-ish people would need to stand very close to each other to fit, and that's without luggage, so if you have mobility issues and/or have a lot of luggage, I don't recommend this hotel.
