Marivaux Hotel

Overall I was really happy with this hotel. I went there partly for work and partly for the city break. I travelled with my girlfriend. I would happily stay there again. Positives - Super helpful staff Really comfortable bed Great location for getting around the city Good value Modern Excellent free Wifi Good gym facilities Less positive Ongoing street works made the outside seem messy and a little tricky underfoot in places, but these were flagged up by the hotel and should finish soon. There were a few sex shops in Adolphe Max, which were not offensive to me, but it might be a bit challenging to answer a "what's that" question if you walked along the street with a young child. On two mornings out of 5 the water in the shower started to run cool and then cold water. The room TVs were not smart TVs. There was quite often a pretty unpleasant smell on the second floor near the gym and some toilets there. The rooms and corridors all seemed a little dark. Some of the security measures you often see in hotels nowadays were absent, for example key cards were not required to use the lifts, which in theory leaves them open for anyone who gets past reception to roam the hotel.
