Hotel Cosmotel Marais République Paris

Extra convenient location, issues w/elevator. Extra friendly/helpful staff. Would certainly stay there again.

The staff at Hotel Cosmotel were AMAZING! Everyone is so kind and very, very helpful! We had wonderful advice for using the metro and also great recommendations for things to do that were of particular interest to our teen daughter like the zoo and a less touristy aquarium! The rooms were clean. The breakfast was tasty. It was also great to come back to the AC while it’s so hot in Paris! I cannot emphasize enough how great the staff was though! The very kind gentlemen working the desk made our stay so much more enjoyable! Ils étaient merveilleux!

Reception staff were extremely helpful and made the stay especially pleasant Air con worked well in the Paris heat Everything was clean Great location next to the metro

Good location, Good staff, not clean

This property is older and while the bathrooms have been remodeled, the rest of the room could also use a little TLC. That said, the staff was great. The location is strange only in that is seems to be located right on the border of a less than desirable neighborhood; however, you can walk one block behind the property and you find one of the coolest areas in Paris full of restaurants and pubs. It's close to a Metro and we found it to be a great starting point for our exploration of the city. My only complaints were that when you enter from the street, you will need to carry your luggage up one floor of stairs to get to the lobby with an elevator and the bath towels are VERY thin which would be an easy thing to elevate to make it a better experience for guests. Finally, I highly recommend the Bistrot Renaissance located just down the street below the Renaissance Theater. Great authentic French food and wines with other menu items as well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cosmotel. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice and took the time to tell us which streets were nice to walk in and where to find the best cafés in the neighbourhood. We also appreciated the tip he gave us about the Citymapper app, which is apparently better than Google Maps in Europe. Another staff member was also helpful in arranging our transportation to the airport as we had to leave for the airport before 5 AM, before the metro/RER trains opened. My only gripe is that the elevator doesn't go all the way to the ground floor, which can be a bit of a challenge if your luggage is heavy. Other than that, we had a great stay at Cosmotel!

This is a charming nostolgic hotel, staf amenities, many restaurants & fine and fun ones just a block away....also one blo knowledgeable to Meto station. The only suggestion I have is, when you arrive, don't let the the red Cosmotel marquee worry you....it is dingy, but once you enter, the hotel is very nice ..they really should upgrade or paint it. The 24-hour desk staff and management are the absolute best. Great deal!

Très belle expérience bien située. Employé de bon conseil avec ménage constant

When we arrived we immediately noticed hair on the shower floor, and were told that they had no other rooms available. So I asked for cleaning supplies so I could clean the shower myself. Many repairs needed, drywall under windows was loose and separated from wall, rusted hardware in bathroom, broken handle on cabinet. Many dents and scratches on door frames and cabinets, mirror is so old that the metallic finish has rusted around edges, hairdryer was yellowing and looked gross. Needs some TLC, but the night clerk and owner were very polite and helpful.

Clean hotel in a very convenient location with great staff

Very good staff !

Clean room with a great view, very friendly and informative staff, good coffee. About a 20 minute walk from the Seine/Notre Dame and 20 minutes from the Opera House. There are tons of shops and restaurants nearby.

I enjoyed staying here. The staff were friendly and helpful, my room was always clean, and my room was very nice, comfortable, and quiet. It was easy to get anywhere by walking or by metro, and there are plenty of places to eat and shop nearby.

Too many stairs to climb and hard to get to room. Too much room noise from other rooms. Location is poor. Too much traffic. It took 40 minutes for cabs to go just 3-4 km. Making a cab ride expensive. But that was cabs. Uber rides were much quicker. Stay away from cab rides. Way too many people in Paris.

The hotel is okay however the cleanliness could be improved. There were hairs in the bathroom still which was off putting. In addition the room was pretty worn with cracks in some times and also some gaps in the ceiling and flooring. There are definitely worse hotels in Paris but considering the price there are definitely better options too. However the staff were super friendly and helpful for everything as well

Good service very very helpful Excellent location

The staff was very helpful and reception was open 24/7, the room was clean, air conditioning worked properly, and the hotel is very well located. As a female travelling alone I felt safe. The only downside for me (but also not a big deal) were the areas where you have to walk up the stairs. Some parts are accesible through the elevator, but not all of them.

I'm a youthful 58 year old with the body of a 25 year old so the sporadic stair situation was easily incorporated into my daily workout. However, those with bad knees should avoid this hotel. This is not my first rodeo in Paris so I understand the sacrifice of convenience for charm. But even my most able bodied, fit visitor complained about the hike to my room, even with the tiny elevator that only reached the 4th fl, and only broke down once, requiring a trek to the 6th floor. Other than that, and the archaic, inconvenient key situation, the staff was attentive, and the room was comfortable. Proximity to the Marais and Strasbourg St Denis Metro station was a plus.

Good

If you are ok with the fringy and at times seedy area, this was a good spot. Especially if you need somewhere affordable.
