This is a very small, intimate establishment. The room was large and the location was in the heart of Paris nightlife. The breakfast was great and the staff was very helpful.
The room was air conditioned which was good because with the windows open at night, the active nightlife might keep you awake. The only thing to keep in mind; it is on the first floor with no elevator and the stairway was dark and narrow. As an elderly traveler I found this intimidating but not impossible.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the room and the overall facility. The breakfast were really great. The staff was quite helpful. The bathroom was fun and stylish and the bedroom was large enough. We were amazed at how well the closed windows shut out and street noise. One thing for future travelers to know is that, true to its name, the property is on the first floor up from street level. There is a fairly narrow circular stairway one needs to navigate to get to the property on the first floor. We are older and it was a little challenging but nothing that was us to give the property for review. We’d really enjoyed it and we’ll go back.

this is, as many say, a little gem. each room is decorated carefully, the bedding, bed, and bathroom are all comfortable and well tought out. coffee, tea and cookies are available 24/7 and an ample breakfast is included in the price, served in the sitting area.

there is often no one at the reception desk, which can feel odd, but you can leave your luggage early and it will magically appear in your room when you come back. the location is great and the staff is kind.

Lovely little hotel

Such a lovely place to stay in a great location. The room was a good size and beautifully decorated with lots of little extra touches included. The shower was also really good. Breakfast was included although I just had a drink which they allowed me to take to my room. It’s not your usual hotel but for me that didn’t matter, the receptionist was really friendly and was there in the morning for check out so I could leave my bag. The check in instructions were really clear and I thought it was easy to find. The corridor off the Main Street is dark but there is a light switch as soon as you walk in. Would definitely stay here again

A terrific small hotel consisting of a few rooms on the first floor of a traditional old Marais building. Beautiful room design, comfortable beds, quiet, tea and coffee available in the longue and kitchenette.

Staff attend only in the morning, they provide a delightful continental breakfast and chat to guests about their plans for the day. I liked the contact time and otherwise didnt mind that desk was unattended.

I'd stay here again without hesitating.

Excellent location in Les Marais

Excellent location with everything nearby. More of an apartment than a hotel. Room was very comfortable.
The only issue is the stairs were small and rooms are on the second floor which is typically called first floor. (typical of big cities in Europe so be prepared). Breakfast was excellent. Overall excellent!

Good experience, great management, old building

Clean room, excellent communication to make for a smooth check in experience. Top notch location convenient to restaurants and the metro. Breakfast was very good (almost too much food). Room itself was well cared for but the building is old and it does show its age a bit. Lastly, there was a strange sewage odor that kept appearing and then disappearing just outside our room as well as inside. We slept with the window cracked to manage it.

Adorable Apartment Style Feel

This hotel was adorable and perfect! We loved the apartment style feel of this hotel and appreciated the delicious breakfast served to us each morning and the free water we were able to take when needed. The bed was very comfortable for my tall husband and me and the bathroom was very spacious too. Rooms were modern and welcoming and there was even a welcome gift waiting for us in the room when we arrived! The neighborhood was so cute, and the large windows are beautiful but keep out the noise from the streets below which was very appreciated. We were very grateful that there was air conditioning, and loved everything about this hotel! Hotel staff was detailed with their emails on how to enter the building. Just be careful on the spiral staircase up!

This small boutique hotel is on the first floor of an old building steps away from Pompidou Center. The building is old and dated but once you enter the hotel door it's a modern, warm space.

Luxury in Le Marais very affordable!

Our stay at 1er Etage Le Marais exceeded our highest expectations. We were in a fantastic location, alive in activity with many shops and restaurants to choose from in the neighborhood. Access to the Metro and RER trains was 5-8 minutes walking. The owners were very helpful with suggestions. Our room had everything we needed, and a surprise was the smart tv with Netflix access. We had an excellent breakfast each morning, with fresh fruit, yogurt, various breads and croissants, meats and cheese, orange juice and espresso. We loved it and will definitely return!

The property was great, the breakfast was really nice and the staff were really nice but getting in was a nightmare. What they don't tell you when they book it is that the place is an apartment on the 2nd floor above a barber shop or something and there is no signage for the hotel at all. You need to get through two doors with a security access code and they don't try to send you the codes until the last second so if you don't have internet or phone coverage on the morning of your stay, you can't get in.

The good: great location, very clean and well-decorated but small room like most places in Paris, new facility as it’s only 5 years old. It’s basically an apartment with 6 or 7 rooms converted to a hotel. A small breakfast was served in living room every morning . The woman who served breakfast on the weekend was more friendly than the one during the week who did it with no facial expression.
The bad: towels are new everyday but some were soiled with old stains. Bed sheets are changed every second day so if it’s dirty, you’re out of luck. They don’t put this info in the hotel details. TV channels are all in French.
Paris, of course, is amazing except for too many smokers.

The hotel is more like a B&B without the owner present. Great location. Rooms were very quiet and clean. Just don't expect any real interaction with any staff. You get a key code to let yourself in. You may never actually see staff if you leave early in the AM. There was a sort of virtual concierge through the hotels \"app\". We never really figured this out. Breakfast was superb.

Comfortable and friendly

This is not a traditional hotel, it is a small bed and breakfast, with a shared seating area used for breakfast and a kitchenette. The room was calming and comfortable. A full shower, but no bath. There is a small step leading to the water closet, which was sometimes a challenge in the middle of the night. The building has been renovated, but is very old since it's in the original part of Paris. There are 2 codes to remember to access the building and the B&B unit. You will be emailed with this info before you arrive, so there may not be anyone there to greet you. As is common in older buildings throughout Europe, there are about 15+ stairs to climb, which may be difficult for some visitors, especially with heavy luggage. Nevertheless, the stay we had was great. The area is known for nightlife, which can be noisy, but is easily shut down by closing the double paned windows. The breakfast: (bread, rolls, croissant) jam, fruit, yogurt, sliced ham, turkey, cheese, juice, coffee/tea... was very filling and tasty and we looked forward to it every morning.

Classy little hotel in middle of bustling Marais

Great 5 room hotel/b&b hybrid, friendly reception who are happy to speak English, good little French breakfast and double security locks make this a nice alternative to traditional hotels.

Nice hotel close to most sites

Really like the room and the breakfast was great! The room is very comfortable and nice. One thing to note for people travelling with a friend instead of with partner. The shower area does not have curtain so it's very open space. You can see clearly the person in shower from the bed.

Quiet & peaceful accommodation

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered at 1er Etage the keypad entry system worked well and Serge & Juliette were on hand every morning with advice or tips to make your stay perfect. The quality of bedding, towels etc was superb in this quiet central hotel.

Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay! With a cute living room and kitchen across from your room, you truly feel like you have your own apartment. The hotel was extremely clean and Juliette had everything down to the last detail. She is there in the mornings to give you food and drink recommendations and made all our dinner reservations.
Only only drawback is that the wifi connection is not great, otherwise 5 stars all around. I would most definitely return!
It is in the heart of Marais, which in my opinion is the cutest and best part of town to stay. Tons of cafes/restaurants/bars close by.

Very lovely accommodation in a fantastic location.

We stayed for two nights when we first arrived in Paris. It was everything we hoped for. Lovely rooms with nice decor, comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Even smart TV! The breakfast (included) was a very nice start to our days before venturing out. The people were delightful and helpful. We would love to stay again!
