Paris Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel & Conference Center

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.

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.
