Marinha Hôtel

The mini hostel (dortoir secret) is absolutly marvelous, the room is spacious and every bed has a separate corner, like a tiny room for each person. It also looks very stylish and cosy. The bathroom is spacious and beatiful, all the plumbing work well. The RER train station is very close.

Ceilings are low, but it's a mansarde.

Big room for Paris and the facility was really clean

No one attended the office, only for cleaning

The room was about twice the size of the hotel I was in the night before and it had air-conditioning and it even had a little kitchen area. There aren’t a lot of restaurants or places to walk to near the hotel with the Metro station is close and you just have to go one stop to get to things to do. I didn’t realize that it is not a staffed hotel when I made the booking, but that could’ve just been my French. When I called the phone number, though the lady who runs the place was very accommodating and explained to me how it works.

It’s a steep walk from the metro station to the hotel but other than that the hotel was great.

The location was solid-- 4min from the RER B, downhill, so easy to arrive from the airport. Wifi was fast, place was clean. The beds are adorable, they have these cute little private nooks, almost capsule vibes, that gave me privacy, with a thick curtain that blocked light. It's the only hostel room in the hotel, so it has a quiet and friendly vibe-- 6 beds. The kitchen is equipped with dishes + utensils + pot, but no pan.

Ceiling Height - this is a renovated attic, and I think I bumped my head 3x an hour. Every morning as I went to the bathroom. I'm just 5'3" but I imagine if you were any taller this would be a quite uncomfy stay. Food - Also, my food (tortillas and cheese, not something another guest would've reasonably taken) was likely tossed by housekeeping despite being in a neat corner, likely because there were some spoiled veggies on the shelf above? I wish there was a way to label food to avoid this, because the hostel doesn't otherwise take any responsibility. Check-in - it is entirely remote check in, and I'm appreciative they accommodated a last minute day-of reservation, but it was a bit disconcerting to arrive to a locked door and need to discuss with the property only on booking.com and eventually email. It was missing this feeling of "hospitality" I usually get from hostels / hotels, I felt somewhat alone, maybe like an airbnb with self-check in.
