Excellent location, and overall good value for money. Price is ridiculously low for central Paris. Comfy beds, professional staff, great location in one of the most atmospheric streets of the Marais (& Metro is about three minutes on foot), and the whole place is spotlessly clean.
Recommended.

I have been to Paris twice. First in 2003 and second in 2007. I decided to stay over the Marais, because I realized I haven't explored the right bank at all. After reading a few travel books and researching the internet, I decided to stay at Hotel Herse d'Or. It's my wife's first Paris visit and I wanted her to enjoy it. I totally enjoyed the atmosphere of the Marais and highly recommend staying at this hotel. The hotel is about 1 1/2 blocks away from the Bastille Metro(Saint Antoine exit). The hotel is walkable to Notre Dame, Pompidou center... The room was small but clean with our own shower and toilets. I will definitely stay at Hotel Herse d'Or again.

Hi,
I stayed in this hotel one month ago and I really loved it!
It's just in the heart of Paris, with lovely neighbourhood, nice restaurants, backeries ... Lovely Place des Vosges is one block from the hotel!
The hotel is charming. My room was very clean (there was private bathtub and toilets) and spacious enough for my husband and me.
I loved the breakfast area and the breakfast itself. For 5 euros only you get french baguettes, croissants, butter, jam, juice and hot drink.
I will recommend to my friends and certainly go again !! soon i hope ...

Dirty Hotel

We had originally booked this hotel with a view to staying for a week, but after checking in, lugging our luggage up four flights of narrow, dingy stairs we arrived at our room, only to find it dirty, tiny, claustrophobic, airless and noisy. We left immediately and forked out 74 euro for the priviledge! I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The website is in no way reflective of the actual hotel. Stretch your budget for a better hotel, even if it means staying in Paris for fewer days.

My wife and I checked in to the quaint Hotel de la Herse d'Or in September 2005. We loved it !! We had a nice room facing the "rue saint Antoine" with private shower and toilet, not common in the 60 euros range in European cities!. The room was spacious and very clean, The bathroom too. The location was excellent, and i think the location couldn't really be better, in "le marais" close to Bastille metro station with good links to the rest of Paris and there were charming cafes, restaurants and backeries close by. It is possible to walk from the Hotel to many of Paris's attractions. They held out luggage for free on the final morning and although my French is almost non-existant, I didn't have any problems here. The staff was really helpful, polite and friendly ! so I am very surprised but the last review !
I DO RECOMMAND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE WHO WANT TO VISIT THE HEARD OF PARIS.
And bonjour to Mr Soussi if he reads this review !

Dreadful Experience

My friend and I checked in to the Hotel de la Herse d'Or at about 12 midday on a sunny September afternoon. We came and left the hotel about three times over the course of the afternoon, meeting both the proprietor of the hotel and the desk staff that evening. All seemed to be in order.
At a quarter to four in the morning, we returned from a lovely night out in Paris, for the desk staff to start demanding payment for our room. We had booked through an internet middleman and had already given our credit card details so, understandably enough; we needed to check with the credit card company in the morning before handing over our credit card to pay again. We asked the desk staff why this couldn't wait until the morning. At this point, he became extremely agitated and argumentative. We kept reminding him that we had no problem with paying for the room if indeed it had not been paid for, but that we felt a) this was not the time or the place to be demanding money, b) we needed to wait a few hours till the morning to ring our bank and c) it was a bit strange that neither the proprietor nor the desk staff had mentioned anything earlier in the day! At four-thirty a.m., the police were called! In arrive two armed policemen, obviously very surprised to be called to a hotel at this hour of the morning. After about half an hour of investigation, the desk staff was told in no uncertain terms by the police that the room didn't even need to be paid for until midday (check-out time) and to let these two unfortunate girls go up to their beds. We were "allowed" to finally turn in at 5am.
We were very fortunate that we speak French and that the police were so fair. It certainly could have led to a nasty situation. My recommendation - DON'T stay at the Hotel de la Herse d'Or. Okay, you save a few bucks, but this will NOT be worth it if anything goes wrong or you need their help during your stay. Very scary experience. Lovely hotel called Sevigne just around the corner for the same price and twice the standard.

Top Local Tips for Paris

Carte Orange If you're staying in Paris for more than a few days, buy the Carte Orange on monday morning - lets you hop on and off any bus and train in the city of Paris from Monday-Sunday. About 15 euros. Really really handy, and better than those Paris Visite passes.

Dont get ripped off! Several unofficial taxi cabs around. Agree a price in advance with these chaps as I paid over the odds for a relatively short trip.

public transportation Get a 'carnet'. That's ten tickets at a discount price that are good on the buses and the Metro. Look at a Metro map, choose a place that could be interesting, hop on a bus and go. It doesn't really matter if you don't speak French, just go. Bus and Metro stops are well marked. You can discover all sorts of neat places and sights and cafes. I love Paris. I think it's easy to get around.
