Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Bastille

It was a great location and the property staff was amazing. We loved it and we will be back.

Even though the room was tight, the bathroom was well thought out and provided space to store all we needed. Wish there was more room between tables at breakfast time and that the front of the hotel looked more inviting. Needs a little TLC.

For the past decade I have always stayed at the Hotel Bastille when I come to Paris at least once or twice a year. I like the location which is a minutes walk to the Bastille Metro Station and is an easy walk to the Marais district. The price per night is very reasonable considering its great central location. The staff (under new management since 2024) are still the best, who are most helpful, welcoming and willing to chat. Not much can be done to improve the layout of the hotel which has a tiny lift or spiral staircase to reach the levels. The rooms are small, but spotlessly clean and tidy. On arrival we had been allocated a room at the rear (which is quiet) but we preferred and requested a room at the front, overlooking the busy street. I was told it was noisy on the front, but I said I didn't mind as coming from a big city like London, I am used to street noise, so it didn't bother us. It was thoughtful of the check-in to make us aware of this. The front desk is staffed 24/7. We didn't sample the hotel breakfast (hot drink and Cousant I think), but preferred to go to one of several nearby bakers' shops. I can't wait to look forward to our next visit to Paris and the Hotel Bastille.

Room was very clean and conveniently located.

The amenities list A/C but it isnt available, everything else was fine

This hotel is excellently placed right on Bastille metro surrounded by lovely cafes and restaurants and on the edge of the Marais. It is newly renovated and the staff are absolutely delightful. The bathrooms are a good size, the rooms as one would expect in a Paris hotel. New linen on beds and very good housekeeping. Lovely breakfast available. Convenience store is opposite. Now here is the problem and I'm sorry it is a big one. A group of men congregate from mid-morning opposite the hotel and talk LOUDLY. This goes on and on until literally dawn when they seem to disperse for a few hours. This affects your sleep here, badly. If only it wasn't so! Everything else about this place is marvellous.

Desk people were kind and helpful. Room and bath, though small were clean and modern. Ber was very comfortable. Though little, the street is busy and noise could sometimes go far into the night.

Good value

Hotel Bastile was a nice stop on our Paris trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Fred, as he made sure we had a great experience in the neighbourhood.

As we are frequent stayers (usually twice a year) at the Hotel Bastille we were greet with open arms by the friendly staff. The location is great and this is a no-frills hotel.

It was a great location.

The Hotel Bastille has been my choice to stay for several years. It is now under new ownership, and the staff have changed, but it is still a friendly hotel with a great price for a central city location. This visit I stayed for 5 nights and the room was at the front of the building. Double glazed windows eliminated the street noise (rooms at the rear, which have stayed in on previous visits have no view at all and look onto a plain painted wall, but are extreemly quiet. I would recommend the Hotel Bastille, but be aware of the tiny lift (elevator) and the extreemly narrow twisted stairs to all floors.

Our time in hotel Bastille was very pleasant. We were only there for 3 nights. We were welcomed warmly by a member of staff as we entered the premise. The room itself was adequate. It was a little of the smaller side and when we first entered the room there was a slight smell and a dark coloured liquid in the toilet that I assume was cleaning fluid. Flushing the toilet and opening the window cleared it up pretty quick. There was however a stain on the bed and a hole in the chair we were provided. We didn't have a view as the window faced on to a wall, but that might have been beneficial as there are a few bars and late night eating locations around, so we managed to avoid any late night noise. The venue does offer breakfast for €10 but we didn't partake in that. There is many places around that you can get food. Special shout out to the night staff member who welcomed us back every night with a smile and lots of lovely chat about whiskey and took a keen interest into what we had done with the day. A lovely man who made the stay there even better. Overall of you are looking for a nice hotel that you don't plan to stay in for very long but offer a good night sleep.

One of the worse place to stay. They ruined my stay in Paris. Booked a double bed room, and that room AC wasn’t working. It’s been broken quiet long time as you can tell. Complained several times to fix the AC or change the room. Front desk mentioned that they are working on the AC and it will be fixed in an hour, after an hour the person went missing and of course AC wasn’t fixed. They mentioned that they are having issue with central line but front desk AC was working and top of that they didn’t had central AC. The room I stayed had single separate AC. They don’t have central AC system. They fooled the tourist and don’t care about the service. We asked for fan they couldn’t give us a fan. After my husband got mad than they provided a fan. On the Ad they didn’t mentioned that AC wasn’t working. They did a false Ad also didn’t changed our room. The front person was very rude. Really worse service. It was 80 degree outside and we stayed without AC and from that me and my husband both got sick. When we asked for refund or discount they didn’t provide that either. This management should be sued for false ad. Seems like this AC was broken for a while and the management is not fixing it. I would never recommend anyone to stay at this place. It will ruin your stay. And extremely small room. When I asked for refund, front desk person start yelling at us, he confirmed that AC was broken before we checked in and but they didn’t mentioned it to us when we checked in.

No A/C, but it was advertised as included. Bathroom sink had 30 cigarette burn marks. Outside street was so noisy. We barely got three hours of sleep. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

It was good for two days, but the air conditioner was broken and it was kind of hot in Paris. We let know the staff and they didn’t fix it for the days we were there. We slept with the window open because it was no other option. Also, they didn’t provide toilet paper

Dirty

Nice cozy room. We didn’t spend much time in the room other than sleeping as we were out exploring the city. It met our requirements and needs.

Staff are friendly, you will find all you need for a simple stay.

The hotel was basic and the room small, but it was clean and comfortable. As a base it was perfectly fine. The location has a range of shops, but the best part was the staff who were very good. I recommend as a good base for a stay a few steps from the Metro
