Paris Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center

Fabulous hotel, decent location

We arrived in Paris and thought to take the train/subway to the hotel. The elevator in the airport to train was broken, so that was bad. But getting on the train and making it to our subway stop was easy. Now the subways are not luggage or handicapped friendly. Advice: Take the train to the stop by the hotel, then see if you can get a cab. It's so much cheaper than trying to take a cab from the airport (they will charge 150+++)It was only 16 euros for the train. We arrived at our hotel early from our flight and our room wasn't ready. No worries, we left our baggage with the bell. We had book the L'open Paris hop on/off tour. Fabulous, we walked about 15 minutes up the street and it was a pick up stop for the tour. However, this line does not run frequently. We were able to see most of paris that day. This area up the street from the hotel has lots of shops and restaurants, don't eat at the places next to the hotel...not good. The hotel room was small, but it's Paris, it was clean, we had internet. Once you get the hang of the subway system, this place is awesome for exploring and being away from the crowds. I would definately stay here again.

Elegant and Comfortable

Close to Glaciere and St Jacques Metro stations. Typical Marriott comfort and elegance. Excellent Concierge. Hotel staff charged my credit card for the stay again and charged City taxes too which was never mentioned when I booked. Charge for the stay was reverted.

marriot

great hotel just a ways from all the sites however the metro is very easy to ride and only $1.60 Euro one way, you can even select English for ticket purchases about a 20 min metro ride to major attractions, overall I would recommend this hotel and stay there again

Excellent Concierge

This was a good hotel in an alright location. We were right next to a metro station which was convenient. The concierge was one of the most helpful ive ever had in Europe and they made the trip very enjoyable. I would definetely recommend this hotel.

You MUST stay here when in Paris

The Paris Marriott Rive Gauche is an outstanding hotel in an otherwise terrible city for decent hotels at a decent price. The building inside is stunning. Our room was so big (for Paris standards and American, too).The bedding and mattress and pillows were luxuriously comfortable and our view north across the city was breathtaking. The neighborhood is much less crowded, and not dirty like closer to the city center. The Metro is right in front of the hotel and you can get anywhere in the city in a matter of minute. The line takes you straight to the Eiffel Tower and the Arch de Triumphe. Service was fantastic, caters to international business travelers as well as Americans. Safe and secure and clean and great when you can find a special on hotels.com! Enjoy Paris, stay at the Marriott.

Nice Place to Sleep

Prior to my arrival, I read many reviews on various hotels in Paris including those that stayed at the Paris Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel. Most reviews on other hotels mentioned tiny rooms, problems with air conditioning and hard beds. I selected my stay at this hotel based on positive reviews and photos. My main concern was finding a comfortable bed to sleep in after long walks through the city. I was pleased upon my arrival to discover a decent size room and very comfortable bed with clean crisp white sheets and plenty of pillows. The view from the room overlooked the city. The bathroom was even roomy with a toilet in a separate room from the sink and shower with bathtub. I just don't understand why the showers do not have enclosed doors or at least shower curtains. The half glass door (if you can call it that) of the shower did nothing to keep water from the shower off the bathroom floor. The air conditioning kept the room very cool. Despite leaving the room late each morning, the room was promptly cleaned by housekeeping following my return after a late breakfast. The hotel includes a 24 hour gym, of which I utilized once during my stay, with plenty of cardio and weight lifting equipment. Just be prepared to pay for internet, if you want/need it and to take the metro to points of interest. The metro is conveniently located next to the hotel, and one can catch a train every 5 minutes. I found myself wanting to go to other more quaint neighborhoods to spend the afternoons and evenings. If you are seeking a hotel that is spacious, comfortable and don't mind taking the metro around, I recommend the Marriott.

Very Nice Hotel

Although this hotel is primarily for business, it worked well for our romantic getaway as well. The hotel is located right next to the Glacier subway station (about a 3 minute walk) and is a short Metro ride to the main tourist areas. The neighborhood itself is nice, with a few very good bistros near by. In fact, one of my favorite bistro's in Paris is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. (La Girondine, 48 Boulevard Arago) This hotel can be expensive, but good deals can be found through hotels.com. If you can get a room under $200 a night, you will definitely see the value. The staff is friendly, the rooms are larger than most in Paris and there are several extras the hotel offers. The restuarant and room service are pricey, but so is almost everything in Paris. For those that like to work out, there is a good gym in the hotel and it is open 24/7. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Outstanding Hotel

Our stay at the Marriott Rive Gauche in Paris was a great one. Everyone was very attentive and courteous. Room was very clean, comfortable and good size. The persons at the concierge desk were very helpful and seemed to know where everything was located. There are two metro stations right by the hotel that make it very easy to move around the city. The only downside was that the TV channels are all news channels and there is really nothing else to watch. Would highly recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.
