We liked Hotel Emile

Liked: Great location, nice large windows looking out over the street if you are on that side of the building, the smallest lift I have ever seen but makes for a fun photo, and the lovely and most helpful receptionist, Gwendoline.
Disliked: The rooms are very small but the bed was big enough for us, the shower was a glass shower unit, which is not a problem unless you are shy. Who cares about limitations if you are enjoying yourself out and about in Paris.

Overall, this was a wonderful...

Liked: The hotel is in the heart of Le Marais, a great neighborhood with lots of little shops and cafes, close to many museums, and a 2 minute walk from the St. Paul metro stop. It's a very bustling area that still feels like a real neighborhood with lots of old Parisian charm and not too overloaded with tourists. The hotel is tucked away just off the main street on a nice little side street so it was quieter than you might expect. The room was very clean and we had a nice little balcony with a beautiful view of the neighborhood. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they offered suggestions for great food in the area (of which there is no shortage by the way). There is also a nice 5 Euro breakfast option (a selection of breads, pastries, coffee, and juice), which is great if you just want a quick affordable breakfast on the go before exploring Paris.
Disliked: We stayed here twice over the course of our trip. The first room we stayed in was one of the smaller rooms and it had a step in front of the shower, which impeded a bit into the walkway posing a trip hazard. Also there was no shower curtain or door. The second room we stayed in was one of the larger rooms and it had a nice tub/shower with a curtain.
