Reviews of Hotel Bastille

14 January 2012

Liked: Metro is close and Notre Dame is not far by walk

Disliked: Cold in room, too noisy outside, room is really pretty on hotel photos, but in reality is ugly

10 January 2012

Liked: Close to metro, close to lively bars. Comfy beds.

Disliked: Strange staff. Older lady lovely but men very odd. One of the male staff came into our room (of 4 girls) at 3am to 'give us a key' which didn't work for our door (we already had one that worked) which seemed completely inappropriate, and another took our key after a fire alarm went off and walked off with it. We got it back but it all seemed a bit odd and they seemed to play on the fact we were young, female and not French (although we all spoke French at enough of a level to understand them if they weren't wandering off!). The room was very small with no table or anything, but it was fine as a base for the night. No safety deposit box and a worrying sign on entering the hotel that said they were not responsible for any thefts...

Liked: I can't say that about the entire staff but one was extremely helpful!! He called an ambulance when my sister got sick in the middle of the night, he was very caring and involved. Also, the location is quite ok, close to the subway and a walking distance to many important sites.

Disliked: smelly,dirty, broken windows (really cold in December!), once we got locked out of the hotel around 9pm!!!

Liked: I stayed here with a friend, and we were both happy with our choice with this hotel. The room is not very fancy, and a little small, but for us who didn't spend too much time here it was perfect. The location is good! Its near the metro, and if you (as us) don´t mind walking a little by foot, it's walking distance to very much of what Paris can offer. We walked both to the Seine, centre Pompidou, Louvre area ect, to mention some. There are restaurants and bars in the area. We went to the latin quarter one night, and it only cost 6 euros with taxi to the hotel. I could defiantly go back to this hotel some other time. It's quite cheap, and I think it's value for your money.

Disliked: The rooms are a little shabby. Not filthy, but if I went with my boyfriend I would probably be a little disappointed. In the hallway it smells very of either asian food or smoke, but we didn't mind this. The rooms were a little chilly, cus the maids opened the windows every day.
