  SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS!

  02 Dec 2025

  I've been to Paris a number of times but this was our longest stay, and in a different part of le Marais, and I'm now a big fan of this hotel. Let me tell you why.We anchored our 5-night trip to Paris at Hotel Caron based on its prime location, price and reviews, and it proved an outstanding anchor for our stay, surpassing all of our expectations. It is tucked away on a quiet one-way street just off a major boulevard, minutes from Place des Vosges, and steps away from the major Metro line. This puts you in walking distance of the city's major sights and in the heart le Marais, its most historic and most interesting neighborhood. A Monoprix grocery, an excellent boulangerie, fine cafes and a lovely park are just outside the door; and the Sunday Bastille market, Musee Carnavalet, and fine restaurants like Bofinger are just minutes away. We were on the go all week but only a few distant Left Bank and Montmarte destinations weren't in ready walking distance of this hotel and were easily reached via the subway. Hint: it's a lovely walk across the Seine to the Ile San-Louis where you will find some of best, authentic restaurants popular with locals and off the tourist track.There are three rooms of nearly the same size per floor; the two end rooms each have one window, and the slightly smaller center room on each of the main floors has three windows. As you've read, most buildings in le Marais date to the 17th-century or beyond, space is limited, and hotel rooms here are almost universally small. That said, here they are well appointed, comfortable, quiet and clean. The hotel has a tasteful, understated modern vibe. The L'Occitane toiletries, complementary snacks and (non-alcoholic) beverages in your mini-fridge, and lovely continental breakfast buffet (bakery items, charcuterie, fruit, yogurt and cereal) help set this hotel apart from the others.Above all else, the staff at Hotel Caron is fantastic. They are not only gracious and welcoming, but will be enormously helpful in answering your questions about directions, logistics, and attractions.Official cabs to the hotel from Charles de Gaulle cost a flat fare of 56 Euros (look for a service guide in a red vest near the baggage claim to direct you to the cab stand and away from scalpers). We returned to the airport using Uber, which cost slightly less.A disappointing or overpriced hotel can be a real buzzkill. Hotel Caron is smart, classy, a great deal, and a fun hidden gem tucked away in the very heart of this great city. I highly recommend it.

  Ideal hotel for a short stay

  11 Nov 2025

  My last stay at Caron was post Covid and though I am a reasonably frequent visitor to Paris I gravitate towards other areas as the Marais is expensive. Travelling solo and wanting to see several exhibitions the Caron proved an ideal base. It is located close to St Paul tube which gives you access to line 1 and is a short walk from Bastille and other metro lines. Not a lot has changed room wise - although I found it on the small side my room was well equiped, clean, quiet and with a good shower. I would probably skip breakfast next time as I only want a croissant and coffee and there are several cafes nearby. All the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful and a night concierge gives you a level of security. For a short stay I recommend Caron and would happily stay here again in similar circumstances.

  Quiet hotel close to the action

  25 Oct 2025

  This is a great hotel in the centre of the Marais area. Really close to all the action but in a quiet side street leading to a leafy square. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Such a lucky find and I will DEFINITELY stay here again when I am next in Paris Hôtel Caron le Marais, Propriétaire at Hotel Caron le Marais, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

  Very cute, cozy hotel in the Marais.

  18 Sept 2025

  Hotel Caron Le Marais is a very cute, boutique hotel in the heart of the Marais district. It is located on a quiet street just a short 3 minute walk from the #2 Metro station. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was perfect, however, I would point out that (as is custom for French hotels), the room is a bit small. I was traveling solo and found the hanging space and shelves to be very limited. If a couple were staying in this room, space could be a challenge. A very nice continental breakfast was included in my rate, and it was more than adequate. There were lots of assorted danish and pastries, yogurts, breads, jam, cereals and hard boiled eggs. No hot food is available, but there were plenty of options otherwise. Coffee and tea selections were extensive. I was on the second level (room 213, I believe?). It faced the street, which is very quiet, and only one block long. There is a bar across the street which did get crowded and busy in the evenings, but did not in any way create loud noise that prevented me from sleeping. I would also state that this hotel is in the heart of the Marais, which is filled with shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. Everything is walking distance and I felt totally safe. I would recommend this hotel and I will return next trip to Paris.
