Hotel Du Vieux Saule, Paris - An Intimate Marais Escape

In the heart of Paris's historic Marais district, Hotel Du Vieux Saule presents itself as a charming 3-star haven. Its façade, adorned with flowers and illuminated with a tasteful bicolour glow, offers an immediate sense of warmth. This is a place that promises an intimate and elegant stay, far removed from the city's more ostentatious offerings, reflecting the quiet refinement of its surroundings.

Location

Positioned on a quiet street in the 3rd arrondissement, Hotel Du Vieux Saule places you directly in the vibrant Marais quarter. This is a district where fashionable boutiques coexist with authentic local shops and the culinary delights of rue de Bretagne. You're within a comfortable 15-minute walk of significant Parisian landmarks, including the Centre Pompidou, the architectural grandeur of Notre Dame Cathedral, the elegant Place des Vosges, and the lively Opera Bastille district. Furthermore, the nearby Temple Metro Station provides direct access to the Opéra Garnier, making exploration effortless. The hotel's proximity to the Picasso Museum and Place de la République also ensures cultural immersion is easily attainable. Personally, I find staying in this part of the Marais offers a more authentic Parisian experience than many more central, heavily touristed areas.

Style and Character

The Hotel Du Vieux Saule embodies the quiet, refined atmosphere of the Marais itself, a district that has gracefully evolved into a fashionable yet authentic Parisian enclave. The hotel's character is one of understated elegance, a stark contrast to more modern, trend-driven establishments. Its intimate ambiance is designed for genuinely restful stays, creating a sense of serene escape within the capital. The arched stone cellar, where breakfast is served, adds a touch of historical charm, grounding the hotel in the very fabric of its storied neighborhood.

Service and Facilities

This hotel prioritizes a serene and comfortable guest experience. While not equipped with expansive resort-style facilities, it offers thoughtful amenities designed to enhance your stay. Guests can enjoy access to a hot tub and sauna, providing opportunities for relaxation. The hotel also features a garden, a welcome touch of greenery in the urban landscape. Concierge services are available to assist with arrangements and recommendations, and laundry facilities are on hand for convenience. Complimentary wired Internet access and a 24-hour front desk ensure connectivity and assistance are always at your disposal. The presence of safety features like a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and security system contributes to a feeling of security.

Rooms

The guestrooms at Hotel Du Vieux Saule are designed to provide comfort and tranquility. All air-conditioned rooms come equipped with premium bedding and essential amenities such as free WiFi and safes. Specific room types cater to different needs: larger double/twin rooms offer views of either the street or a courtyard and include a flat-screen TV and safe. Queen-size bedded rooms feature a minibar, flat-screen TV with international channels, and a safe, often facing the courtyard for added quiet. For families, there are specific family rooms offering air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar, tea and coffee maker, and city views, accommodating up to three beds. Suites provide a similar level of amenity with a dedicated bedroom and bathroom. Bathrooms, whether featuring a shower or a bath, are designed to complement the warm atmosphere, with hairdryers provided.

Food and Drink

The culinary experience at Hotel Du Vieux Saule centers around a delightful buffet breakfast served each morning in the charming, arched stone cellar. This provides a convivial start to the day, setting a warm and inviting tone. While the hotel does not feature on-site restaurants beyond this breakfast service, its prime location in the Marais means a vast array of Parisian culinary experiences are just a short stroll away. From local bistros to more refined dining, the neighborhood offers endless possibilities for exploration.

Value for Money

As a 3-star establishment, Hotel Du Vieux Saule offers a commendable value proposition, particularly given its prime Marais location. The inclusion of essential amenities like air conditioning, free WiFi, and breakfast, along with access to relaxation facilities such as the sauna and hot tub, contributes to a satisfying stay. Its strength lies in providing a comfortable and characterful base for exploring Paris without the premium price tag of larger, more luxurious hotels. It's a solid choice for the discerning traveler who prioritizes location and a peaceful atmosphere over extensive hotel services.

Accessibility

Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with disabilities is limited. However, as is standard in many Parisian hotels, guests should inquire directly about room suitability and available services. The hotel's focus on an intimate and refined atmosphere suggests a consideration for guest comfort, though detailed accessibility provisions are not explicitly detailed.

Family-Friendly

Children older than 4 years are considered adults for room occupancy. While the hotel doesn't offer specific children's programs, its family rooms are equipped to accommodate up to three beds, providing a practical solution for families traveling together. The location within a lively yet navigable district also offers opportunities for exploration suitable for older children, and the proximity to attractions ensures that family outings are readily accessible.

“I find this hotel attractive for its distinct Parisian charm, particularly its setting in a historic building within Le Marais. The personalized service, notably the staff's helpfulness with transportation, stands out. Its location offers a genuine taste of local life, enhanced by unique breakfast options, and the mini spa adds a surprising touch for a 3-star property.”
