Hotel Austins Arts et Metiers

I don't know how you do flights and hotel (6 nights) in Paris with quality and inexpensively, but we did it and thanks for the arrangements. The hotel was several blocks away from the Seine but we stayed in a neighborhood in the Marais district and it was fabulous. Very good locale for meeting locals and living like a Parisian.

The hotel is very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the location is great (a five-minute walk to Pompideau and right next to the metro). The breakfast is outstanding. I highly recommend the hotel to anyone planning a visit to Paris.

Went on Holiday and Had a blast! The hotel is a block or so from Le Marais. The Metro is right out side the door. Minuets to get to Notre Dame. This was a great Hotel for its price. The only Fault, they charge if you want to have a guest spend the night. but other than that I highly recommend it! Will love to stay there again.

Have stayed at Austin's several times already and with great pleasure. They speak and understand English very well, metro is on the opposite of the street. Around the corner there is a supermarket and near a square with all restaurants. Ille de la cite is in walking distance.

A great friendly hotel in the heart of La Marais, close to everything, great cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff were really great and hotel is a little gem.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, modern room with many nice features, in a convenient location in the Marais but also very quiet. There was a computer in the lobby where we could check email (no charge). Best of all, they had a breakfast room that in addition to croissants and jam, also included hard-boiled eggs, cheese, yogurt and some fruit, which made it easier for me to eat gluten-free. There's always someone at the front desk, and they ask you to leave your key - so we didn't have to worry about losing it.

Four day get-away with my wife. We are both experienced European travelers. This had all the necessities including a great breakfast and internet access. It was clean, the service good, and it was right next to the Metro and some cafe's. We got all over town from there without a problem. Exceeded my expectations of a 3-star hotel. Windows were tight so the noise was not a problem at night. We would definitely go again.

Very good quiet location, about 15-20 minute walk to the Notre Dame cathederal. Very close to a metro station for those who don't want to walk far (trains ran under the hotel, however our room was on the 1st floor and this didn't cause any sleep disturbance at all). Very clean room and a reasonable size (for central Paris!). Very adequate self-service continental breakfast provided. All in all, we could not fault this hotel, it was a good value mid-range hotel, and we would definately recommend it!

Everything was up to our expactation. The location, the service at the hoteldesk, the rooms, they are always small in Paris and the breakfast is a typical french one, so if you need fibres bring that with you to the breakfast room. I will definately book this hotel again. Nice, clean and friendly and very silent.

This hotel is close to a bad area of Paris. When we got there, the cab driver told us to call him if anything happened. We checked in but we were smarter now since this happened to us in Italy before. We asked to see the room first and true enough, it was small, cramped, not dirty but could be better and the walls were thin and we could hear sounds from every angle. We went down and declined to stay. We observed some gangs hanging around outside the hotel as well and we did not feel comfortable. Hotel said they would have to charge us and I said Bullocks and we called a cab. The cab driver came and was quick to tell us to jump in as he did not want to be carjacked. Plus, there was a cop van with lights on trying to see if he can scare away the gangs loitering around. If you are a light sleeper, forget it. Overall, it would be best to pick name brand hotels with 4 star and above if you want to have a comfortable stay. Otherwise, if you are on a budget and just want a place to sleep, this might work...
