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.

We booked the Prestige Room after seeing enticing photos on ******* that clearly showed a private balcony—one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we discovered that our room had no balcony, despite what was advertised. After raising the issue with the front desk, we were offered a smaller room that did include a balcony, but it was a downgrade in size and amenities. To make matters worse, there was a room that matched the original description, but its door was broken and deemed unusable. We were left with no choice but to accept the smaller room. Throughout this frustrating experience, no compensation was offered for the downgrade or the inconvenience. I would caution future guests to double-check room details and not rely solely on the photos provided online.

Everything you need in Paris What an incredible hotel. Everything was wonderful. The chic French setting and design. Room size is ‘cosy’ but that’s to be expected in the traditional building. Everything was super clean, very comfortable bed. Excellent shower. Fantastic free breakfast with lots of choice. Extremely friendly & helpful staff. Super location in the Marais with all its great small boutiques and stylish independent shops. When I’m next in Paris I’ll be back!

Enjoyed this boutique hotel! So much character and charm. Located on quiet street, rooms are good size with lots of outlets to charge electronics. The bathroom was beautiful and large. There is a lift. Breakfast offered nice variety from pastries to meats and cheeses. Coffee machine made everything from cappuccino to hot chocolate. Staff was super nice and accommodating.

Very nice hotel. Area was good, but not great. Not unsafe, but a bit removed from areas we wanted to visit. Shower in our bathroom only had a handheld sprayer, which wasn’t ideal. Bathroom was otherwise very nice.
