This trendy, comfortable hotel is located a few blocks from the Place de Republique and the nearest metro stop is Oberkamph. Hotel Gabriel is an immaculate, well-designed property with the most comfortable bed I have slept on in a long time. There are a number of excellent restaurants - whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner - within east walking... more

i contacted the hotel two months in advance asking for special rates - the hotel manager (Julien) gave me rates higher than those advertised on the hotel's website. Despite his non- co operation I booked a three night's stay via the hotel's website and subsequently contacted the hotel to organise a suttle transfer for me. Upon my arrival at CDG... more

A clean, well run, basic hotel, with modern decor, situated a good 30 minute walk from the Marais. The addition of the Marais in the title is obviously designed to trick the unsuspecting traveller into thinking that the hotel is situated there, but trust me, it isn't! It is not a 'Detox' hotel - it does offer in room massage... more

My husband and I LOVE this hotel. We are world travelers, have stayed in many 4 star hotels and I can't say enough about the excellence of the Hotel Gabriel in the Marais. It is beautifully designed... with unbelievable attention to details, from the lobby on up. Paris is notorious for its hit and miss in hotel ratings (some 3... more

The hotel advertises itself as a "detox" hotel and is certainly unusual with many clever ideas, but with the devil in the detail that stops it short of a 5* rating. I got the feeling that the architect/designer had come up with many good ideas but had never had to actually spend a night in the hotel and fine tune... more

Fantastic room in a fantastic hotel. The staff were cheery and very helpful. The rooms were big enough and comfortable and clean. The bed was a 'dream', and ameneties very good quality. The bathroom was excellent. I was a lone traveller on business but would definitely go back with my partner for a romantic stay. Can't recommend this highly enough!! more

I stayed at the Gabriel in September 2009. I would stay there again. Pros: - Very clean - Extremely comfortable bed (best I've experienced in Paris) - Newly renovated/stylish - Flat panel TV/iPod dock/clock radio - Excellent shower (strong water pressure) - Good soundproofing between rooms (generally quiet except for people talking in the hallway occasionally) - Non-smoking - Convenient... more

this is a lovely small hotel just approx 5 mins walk from the republic metro stop so not in the middle of town but a couple of stops from the eurostar terminal. The hotel is very design savvy and the room was an average size with handy storage but a little too much design and not a lot of practical.... more
