MIJE
Consistently given the highest possible ratings this organization actually runs three hostels in the Marais. The only possible drawback is that they have an afternoon lockout for cleaning. The MIJE Maubuisson on rue des Barres gets the nod of the three for being in an historic Tudor-style building. Dorm-room beds start at â¬27 at all three places. Single rooms are 42â¬.
Grand Hôtel Jeanne-d'Arc
In the calmer part of the Marais, not far from Place de Bastille and Place des Vosges, this little hotel fills up well in advance, so you'll need to book ahead.
Midrange
Hôtel Bastille Speria
This lovely little three star is at the far end of the 4th bumped right up against Place de Bastille. The place is inviting and the rooms are quite comfy and air conditioned. The location is good especially if you are interested in fine dining, as the place is surrounded by some of the better bistros on the right bank..
Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais
These are are of the expected small size for Paris though elegantly appointed in 18th century style. Equipment includes air-conditioning. Tea and coffee at the reception. The 'courtyard' is a two-by-two meter light shaft, so rooms facing it have no view, and are quite dark on the ground and first floors. A simple request to avoid them on booking will suffice. The staff speak English well.
Hotel Notre Dame
Located in a typical and quiet little street, looking out on the Seine and facing Notre-Dame Cathedral. Every room is uniquely styled and decorated and equipped with a complete, marble bathroom.
Jardins de Paris Marais-Bastille
Hôtel Hospitel
You can't beat the location of this no-star but midrange offering on the Ile de la Cité located on the 6th floor of the Hospital Hôtel-Dieu a functioning Hospital which is also classified as an official historical monument, Hôspitel offers quite a bit of service and comfort.
Victoria Paris Homes
There are some furnished apartments near Notre Dame available for short term rental and are centrally located within walking distance from Maubert Mutualité Station.
