Air conditioning in the room was broken. Management knew, as they put in a fan and had it on when we'd checked in. After we'd realised the situation was untenable (it was 38 degrees and we'd specifically sought a hotel that has air conditioning in its rooms, and paid extra for a \"superior room\"), we asked to change rooms, only to be told that there are no other rooms available and that the best they can do is refund us for a cancellation of the reservation. Try finding a decent hotel room in Paris on a Saturday night!!

Very poor customer care. We would still be interested in that refund given this terrible ordeal!

Staffs were super friendly and helpful. Location is great, straight out of gare de Lyon. Hotel also offered coffee/tea as accommodation which is great! Elevator is a bit small but totally manageable. Love there is a window in the bathroom too. If you’re picky about shampoo/conditioner, bring your own conditioner.

Great spot for a few days in Paris

Stayed here during a weekend trip to Paris with my daughter. The room was nice and clean. Perfect for one or two guests but too small for more. Air conditioning worked well and is a must for Paris in August. The area was perfect. Close to the train station but also close enough to walk to the sites. 20-30 minute walk to Notre Dame, for example. Breakfast was well priced for what is provided. Eggs, yogurt, bread, cheese, tea, coffee, musli, etc. Staff were very friendly!

Having stayed in their Brussels property I thought this would be perfect for a one night stay. The room itself was just ok, not a lot of thought went into the room design, with boxes mounted to the walls that you hit your head on and no where to hang a long coat. The shower is so so tiny it is impossible to shower without spilling water everywhere in the bathroom even with a shower curtain. Overall not an enjoyable stay.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Nice and convenient hotel near Gare de Lyon

This hotel, located very close to Gare de Lyon, was a great choice for my short stay in Paris. My superior room was a nice size and very clean. The room was quiet. And the breakfast buffet provided a nice selection of dishes. The bathroom was very small, as is so often the case in French hotel, but functional. One weaker point: not a single electric outlet next to the bed to recharge phones and watches.

Very disappointing stay in a chain I usually prefer, more so as the price was at a premium. While the decor is standard 9Hotel, our room was too small (even for Paris - should have been sold as a single), had no ventilation apart from wide-opening the window to the (major) street, had no hot water and when we reported were mansplained by the staff - twice - instead of fixing it. The room also had no hang space apart from at waist height under a shelf and nowhere to hang a wet outdoor coat and the only power point was under the fire alarm so making tea set it off. Dreadful room (#49), avoid at all costs.

This was a great last minute find for us after our vacation rental cancelled the morning of our trip. The hotel was cute and clean and the staff, available 24-7, were gentle and nice. When we asked about the possibility of switching to a different room, since ours was very small, they let us go look at the available alternative. We ultimately decided to keep our room and make the best of it. We had already settled in and by then it felt like ours. The view from our window was looking down to a cute street Rue d'Austerlitz and the main street Rue de Lyon. The bathroom only had a glass half panel and no curtain, but the bathtub was huge and made for a great relaxing bubble bath experience. The room and bedding were very clean. We had tv and wifi without issues. The elevator was cute and tiny, but there were stairs, and since it's Paris, well, what's another 5 flights? Also, they were a bit stingy with the bath towels. I don't think we got the additional towels we requested, but not a deal breaker at all. It actually ended up being a great location, close Gare de Lyon, several metro stops, walking distance to Place de la Bastille, and restaurants including L'Étincelle, which was open late thankfully, and the service like most we experienced was excellent. Just below us was La Parisienne boulangerie. We stopped there every morning for coffee and croissants and other pastries. We also had baguette sandwiches there for lunch one day. Overall I would recommend 9Hotel Bastille-Lyon.

There was a bit of noise from the street, and our visit was on a warm evening. The air con didn't seem to be controllable from the room, so it was a case of street noise and fresh air vs. warm and stuffy room.

Plenty of dining/coffee/bars nearby. Hotel rooms were small (by North American standards), but well laid out and serviceable. Breakfast (extra charge) was worth it. Nice selection of bread, pastries, cold cuts, fruit, and coffee. Breakfast room staff were good at clearing the tables and topping up the food buffet. The very small elevator could be a problem for guests with a lot of luggage or mobility issues. We only used it upon arrival and departure when we had luggage. The rest of the time we used the stairs (good exercise). As a minor critique, I would suggest the addition of a few extra hooks on the wall might help with storage. Overall, we would stay here again and recommend it to tourists looking for accommodation in Paris.

I would have expected some drinking water in my room- I was desperately thirsty after my journey from the uk. They did have a jug of water on reception but there were no cups/glasses to pour into and no staff to be seen to help with this.
Also I tried ringing reception on the number given several times and nobody answered!
On the first day at breakfast the fire alarm went off and continued for around 15 minutes maybe more! It was very loud (great safety feature) but nobody seemed to be able to turn it off. My ears were ringing for ages afterwards and nobody came to let us know what was going on or to apologise.
