Pont Saint-Michel

The hotel looked like it was falling apart. Everywhere you look, each wall, piece of furniture and the floor was chipped, scratched and looked beyond old. The location wasn’t great, it was a totally isolated borderline creepy corner and was a 10-15 minute walk from the actual action in le marais. Our room was also awful. We had a room on an inside corner of the building meaning our only window was a small one that faced the inner part of the building. We never kept the blinds open because if you did have them open anyone can see clearly into the room since it is in the inside of the square. The one time we did leave them open, my girlfriend made eye contact with someone staying in a room across from us. And, upon looking out the window we clearly saw that everyone’s blinds were closed, likely because of the total lack of privacy. I know that not every room is like this, but if you do end up in an inside room like we did l, prepare to spend your stay in a closed off closet with no windows because you will not want to open the curtains. How this hotel has 4 stars I do not know, I’ve stayed in hostels that are in a much better condition. On a good note, the staff were friendly, and very helpful, and the lobby had these jugs of water, one with mint and lemon, one with orange and one with nothing that were always cold and refreshing which we loved.

Very good location, pretty hotel, very nice room, bathroom with a shower and a bath and the loos separate. Very nice and helpful staff.
