New Hotel République

The Hotel Gabriel is a very pretty well designed boutique hotel in a great location away from the usual touristy areas of Paris, just steps from the hip upper Marais, a short 30 minute walk to the Seine and public transportation abounding. The rooms are a tad small, like many Paris hotels, but the rooms are thoughfully designed maximizing space the best they can. The bathrooms are very functional and once again thoughfully designed. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Breakfast was adequate with a nice assortment for the hotel guests.

The hotel was absolutely lovely. Our room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and charming. We purchased the breakfast option which met all of our needs with a good selection of fresh fruit, English style breakfast as well as European. There was one very crusty gentleman on the desk at night, who was unprofessional, (complaining about the new management, saying they were too cheap to put coffee in the room, and we couldn’t have an additional packet of instant, even though only one had been provided etc., ) bordering on rude, and this is the reason for my four star rating instead of five.  The day staff was exceptional – very helpful.  On the second day, the coffee was automatically provided lol – day one was just an oversight. 

Fantastic experience! Best hotel I have ever stayed in!

Beautiful rooms, a lovely staff, and a very convenient neighborhood.

The staff is amazing and the hotel itself is great. The only problem is that the walls are thin and there’s bound to be a lot of noise if your room is near the service stairwell. Since there was also construction work the week I stayed (wish I was warned beforehand) it was almost impossible to rest properly during daytime. And I needed that badly due to jetlag and a weird work schedule. I’d still go back but not during construction work…

Herman is an exceptional employee with the rest of the other staff. Herman helped us talk to other front desk employees so we can get checked in early. We arrived in Paris at 6 am and got to the hotel by 9 am. Herman helped us to get an early accommodation by advocating for us. The hotel service too that was provided for us was exceptional too! We get daily room clean up and change of towels; breakfast food was amazing, and the proximity to metro station was the selling point for us. The convenience of having 2-4 metro stations nearby to the hotel allowed us to go to places at anytime.
