Hotel Malar in Paris

Small boutique hotel in the center of Paris. We walked from here to the tower, the Louvre, and most sites we wanted to see. It is not an american type so don't expect a lot of space in the room. But it has a small courtyard and tons of restaurants close by.

I recently stayed at this adorable hotel and had a lovely experience overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome—even offering to carry my bags up to the room, which was a thoughtful touch. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and having a private bathroom was a definite plus. The location couldn’t be better—close to everything and perfect for exploring the city. The free internet was fast and reliable, which was a great bonus.

That said, the room itself was quite small, and getting to it involved navigating a narrow spiral staircase, which might be tricky for some travelers. The bathroom was compact but manageable; however, the shower was exceptionally tiny, which could be a challenge for taller/larger guests.

Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall charm and hospitality made for a delightful stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy, well-located place with a personal touch.

Our room was clean and comfortable. It was small, but when we are traveling abroad we are willing to sacrifice space for location and cleanliness. We were central to many great attractions like the Eiffel Tower and Napoleon’s Tomb. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They let us leave our bags there before our room was ready and also after we had checked out so we could do some additional site seeing before heading to our next destination.

Stayed at Hotel Malar for one night. My friends and I traveled from the USA to the UK for a wedding and we hopped on the Eurostar train to Paris. Hotel was a little hard to find, our Uber driver just dropped us off and we found it by ourselves. Julian checked us in and he was charming and welcoming. The hotel is small with only 22 rooms with an open garden of flowers and herbs in the back. Though quaint, the location is A+ because its only about 15 minutes walking to the Eiffel Town. The hotel is uniquely decorated with fun pictures around, its eco-friendly and Green Key certified. The lights are motion-sensor throughout, and your door key card operates the lights and appliances in the room. Once the card is removed from cardholder, the electricity is no longer active. There is no elevator so be careful up those wrap around stairs. We got 3 rooms, they were small as well as the bathroom but clean. Surprisingly, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. FYI, bypass the buffet breakfast, it's not worth the cost. Not many food options plus its DIY. I wanted fresh orange juice, had to squeeze about 6 oranges to get a small glass of OJ. One of my friends wanted boiled eggs, she had cook them herself. Overall, the hotel is good for the cost.

The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. There is a supermarket a few steps away from the hotel with a full range of goods. There is also a Japanese sushi restaurant next to the supermarket, which is great. There is also a small supermarket opposite the supermarket, with great coffee.
