Hôtel Jeanne d'Arc Le Marais

I was really torn how to rate this hotel! All the problems with it are due to how old the building is, and they are trying their best with what they have, but that doesn't make it accessible or give it much space.

The Bad:
- The stairs! Oh the stairs! They go sideways and slanted and they are terrifying. When you get out of the elevator (which can hold at most 2 people or one person with a suitcase) you still have to drag your bags up stairs. If you have any mobility issues, you should skip this hotel.
- I've stayed in smaller rooms, but this was pretty tight for two people with luggage. Low ceilings as well.
- The lighting was so dark in the room even with every light turned on. The bathroom was luckily fine.
- Shower only had a detachable head, which you absolutely had to detach or else you flooded the entire bathroom (you still did a bit no matter what). Shower was not fully enclosed and was quite slippery.

The Not Sure:
- You get one key (a punch card) and have to leave it at the front desk when you leave the hotel, and they give it back when you return but without checking ID. It was usually the same person we left it with but I was surprised to have such an old system when it wasn't a metal key.

The Good:
- Staff was so friendly and helpful! We were able to borrow an iron and ironing board (our only hotel without one, which was not surprising with the size of the room) as needed, and they helped us book a next day taxi for our very early flight. Everyone spoke English for these lousy Canadians.
- It had a cute lobby and small dining area (which we did not use).
- The front was decorated with pink flowers!
- The location was fantastic! Just a couple minutes from the Metro (which we initially took from our train station directly to the hotel). This line gets you to all the main attractions super easy. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants and shops and is only a few minutes walk to the Seine River.
- Crooked stairs aside, it had personality (ie flamingo wallpaper) :)

Definitely would stay again
The hotel is located very close to some bistros, a very good Italian restaurant and the metro as well as shopping. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you. They are also family friendly as we were traveling with our 9 month old. Will definitely stay here again!

We had two rooms. Both were of adequate size, including the bathroom. The breakfast was very good and the woman attending to managed the room beautifully. The front desk staff were all extremely capable and helpful. Many good quality restaurants were close by. The cost of our stay was quite reasonable.

This was amazingly quiet given that we were right in the heart of Paris, ten minutes from the Ile de la Cite. Great location and a very cool neighborhood with lots to do. We only used the Metro once while visiting.

A great place and location
This is a great hotel for anyone who wants atmosphere and a great central location. Right away you feel like you are in a traditional Parisian house and the staff is friendly and helpful.
I wouldn’t hesitate to return here.

Room was small but I came to Paris to see the sights not to spend time in the hotel room so the room was adequate. Staff were friendly. The room had a fridge, a safe, a hairdryer and a kettle. The room was very warm, the view was of large silver ducting. Only four coat hangers ( I suppose I could have asked for more. I would also have appreciated a handrail in the shower as I found it difficult getting out when the shower basin was wet.

Affordable accommodation in Paris. English speakers on the staff. Great location for walking or taking an Uber to attractions. Rooms are small as expected in Paris but how much time would you spend in your room?

My friend and I stayed four nights at Hôtel Jeanne d’Arc in Jan 2025. Friend had room on 4th floor; mine was above his on 5th. Rooms are small with a few scuff marks here and there but cozy and very quiet, which I greatly appreciate. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast is lovely. The location of the hotel is fantastic—right near the Place de Vosges in the heart of the Marais but tucked away on a side street so you get peace and quiet. Will definitely stay again on my next visit to Paris. Feels more like a bed n breakfast than a hotel and I mean that as a tremendous compliment.
