Hotel Maison Saintonge

Great location, charming building and friendly staff. Rooms are not very spacious but good for weekend stay.

My husband & I stayed here for 6 nights in May 2025. We paid extra for an “executive room”& it was tiny. We could barely fit our 2 suitcases in the room. We had a bathtub with a shower nozzle but no place to hang it. Therefore every time we showered the entire bathroom was soaked with water. I asked Ishmael for a refund after 1 night & was refused . He would not give me my money back. It was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable having to stay for 6 nights in such a cramped room. I do not recommend staying here.

Amazing hotel in the perfect location. My son and I each had our own rooms, they are small as most are but well equipped, clean, well decorated. My room had a big window opening up to the street. The employees working the front desk were very helpful with everything we needed. I would recommend for solo travelers as I felt very safe. Comfortable beds, with coffee maker, and AC.

The location and friendly staff at this small hotel can't be beat. I enjoyed staying in the middle of my favorite Paris neighborhood. You can walk to everything, but be aware that the Metro isn't just outside the door -- it requires a few minutes' walk. Breakfast was delicious, and the women that attended the breakfast room were very friendly. As expected in a small Paris hotel, the room and bathroom were small, but fine for two of us, since we barely spent time in the room. Free water was a plus. The A/C was powerful. We faced the street, but there was no noise, even on a Saturday night. A great choice if you prefer staying in the Marais.

First off, what a Willy Wonka cute hotel, you won’t miss it! Check in and out was fast, they will email you ahead; just answer that so you’re good to go. They will replenish your water (yay to free water in France lol), even the Nespresso pods. In that sense, I don’t think getting the breakfast in the hotel is necessary (Poilane and boulangeries abound). They are centrally located with loads and loads of cafes and restaurant options nearby plus many independent shops and familiar brands within walking distance. But, Paris is made up of 20 arrondisements so don’t be fooled that you will be walking distance to all sites. You will need to take metro, a short walk away. Now, to the con, though not unique to this hotel, is the size. Wow, we got the higher 1br category (sorry forgot what it was) but still tiny. Yet, by some miracle, we were still able to fit 3 large luggage and 1 carry on! There is an elevator and the staff speak good English and very helpful. They helped us with reservations and even cancellations. Oh, one last thing, this is Marais, so the streets are narrower, which I think restricts the sun from coming in the room, a thought especially when booking in the winter.
