Hotel Castex was wonderful! We had a pleasant stay with the location being very central and with the staff being so kind. Our roomed was cleaned every day with fresh towels and a made bed which was very nice to come back to each evening. WiFi is an included amenity however the connection from our room was very poor so anytime we needed to use this service we had to step into the lobby. If you are planning to do any work on the WiFi just keep that in mind. Besides that, all amenities were present and the property was great. We would definitely book this hotel again and we cannot wait to come back.

My room was tiny the space was very limited so even though I had a small closet I didn’t even feel like unpacking my clothes. To walk side to side of the room the other person needed to move off the way. Good thing was that we were on the 4 floor and had elevator. But my key card got deactivated twice in a 4 days stay. Need to update the locks on doors.

Easy check in and friendly staff. Rooms are small like every boutique hotel in Paris, but they were clean and comfortable. Great air-conditioning, hot water for showers, and rooms were quite being located mid-block.

The location is great, so convenient. One block from the Metro, which is easy to navigate and we took all over town. Walk to Notre-Dame and other nearby sights. Wonderful restaurants, cafes, and fresh fruit markets.

Best if all they have an elevator/lift, which is rare in a boutique hotel, so getting luggage up and down was easy.

I loved the hotel that people were so kind and the view was spectacular.

Great location. The Marais district is right there, very walkable to all kinds of cafes, sites etc. The property itself could do with a good refresh. The lobby space is unusable for guests, being dominated by a large dining table with gigantic old chairs, which they prefer you not to sit on?. Mattress was fine although it too could be replaced. The other furniture the room (desk, chair, hassock) is from another time, heavy, large, dark and just in the way.
Getting rid of it altogether would help immensely. Bathrooms were upgraded, clean, and functional. Room was very hot when we arrived but opening the window took care of it, although I'm not sure it would have helped much if it had been very hot out. The price was good, for our purposes it fit the bill, but two nights was sufficient.

The hotel is in a great location. When my wife and I arrived at the hotel, we were assigned a room and given a key card. We went to the room and someone else's luggage was in the room. I went to the lobby to tell the front desk man. I told him that there was someone else's luggage in our room. He said that was impossible. He told me I had the wrong room number. My wife then went down to the lobby and was told we were given someone else's room card.
The room itself was tiny. The walls were dingy and had not been painted in a long time. The most disturbing was there was velcro around the base of the bed. Stuck to the velcro was a large amount of hair.
The breakfast was not satisfying. The cereal was stale and croissants were not fresh.

Not recommended. Scroll past. We expected a small room in Paris. However, the air conditioning wasn't working and it was very hot. There was a lot of heat generated by the fridge inside the wardrobe. The reception staff weren't interested. There was no-one, staff or customers, at breakfast at all.

Hotel well located but I experienced a broken aircon (at least they'd left a fan) which later leaked when repaired. Missing room items, example only tea not coffee, hand lotion no shampoo. I could hear other guests in their rooms and I'm sure they then could hear me. The one-man check in clerk on duty for first 2 days was too busy to make eye contact or leave position to assist with guests storing on bags. Wifi in room also patchy.

A cute little hotel in a great location. The room was small, but nicely decorated, very clean, had a very comfortable mattress and a bathroom that was better than average for a European hotel. The afternoon hotel clerk was especially friendly and helpful when we checked in. The only downside was our room was on the first floor and the window opened into a courtyard that needed to be tidied up.

We chose this property for our final night before departing Paris because the hotel description indicated that airport shuttle service was available. Upon check-in, the staff offered to arrange our transportation to the airport, which reinforced our understanding that a shuttle/taxi was provided. We learned that the transportation was not complementary. This was disappointing. Had we known the shuttle service was not included, we would have chosen another Hotel.

This property was probably excellent when it first opened,,but has not been well maintained. It was clean, the location was great, the AC did not work, and it did not seem that it would be fixed soon. The price we paid was much higher than a price I saw later in a French website. Some of the photos in the brochure do accurately represent the current state of the property. I would not return.

We visited Castex as a heat wave hit Paris. We were not informed Castex had no operational air conditioning despite paying for an air conditioned room. Our room faced all day sun with temperatures reaching 40 Celsius inside during daytime and remaining above 30 Celsius all night across a stay of six days. When we complained we were offered a small bottle of water. No apology was given. We couldn’t sleep and our health suffered with need to constantly drink water as we perspired through the night. One day there was no water supply at the hotel and we couldn’t shower before going out on a hot hot day. Staff shrugged and explained nothing. Maintenance in our room was appalling. The shower permanently drooped downwards due to a worn out fixture. The fridge was useless spoiling milk and other items we needed cooled. Only one staff member, Eskanda, showed any concern and was decent and courteous during our stay. Others were rude or ignored us. The continental breakfast wasn’t, it was basic. This was our worst ever hotel experience and we’ve made formal complaints through the French Consumer Bureau. This hotel ruined our Paris holiday. The hotel did not approach 3 Star standards. Wotif provided us exemplary support when we complained but Castex is a place we will never stay at again. We await French Consumer investigation outcomes.

The only good thing about this hotel is location: walking distance to Louvre and other attractions. I give location 5 stars.
Hotel is dilapidated: our room had dirty scuffed walls, peeling paint on the doors, desk and chairs, dirty drapes. Water from the shower runs to the room. Neither heat, nor AC were working.
Our room fobs stopped working 4 times. Our neighbor next door got into our room with his key fob. The staff programmed his fob to our room instead of his.
We ran out of soap and asked 3 times ( different desk personnel) for the refill. It was never done. Ended up buying our own soap.
Breakfast: super basic - eggs, cold cuts, cheeses, bread. No fruits or vegetables. Kitchen staff milling around and not replenishing items that are gone.
This hotel does NOT deserve 3 stars.
Dingy, dark hallways with motion detector light.
It feels like a low level youth hostel, not a mid range hotel. Disappointing experience!

El hotel debería mejorar la infraestructura y cuidar los detaches del lobby, cuando llegas no dan buena impresión, la habitación muy pequeña, no podíamos colocar las maletas, además cobraron un tax que no estaba incluido en el acuerdo con
Expedia,
Algo bueno fue el desayuno.

A great location and most of the staff (not all) are extremely friendly. The hotel is clean and right next to Bastille: a great area for eating/drinking with superb links to all the major sites. Room was tiny (305- suspect it’s normally a single- we’d booked a double), somewhat dated but spotlessly clean. A/C, fridge, safe all not working in the room. Shower area simple but clean and bright. Needs an overhaul, decor and amenities-wise. It was a bit like a time-warp but did have some charm. Check in though was simply awful. The chap made us feel like an utter inconvenience and was simply rude (tried pushing us a taxi return to the airport which we politely declined- from that point he had no time for us and wouldn’t answer simple questions about the metro… ‘Ask me tomorrow, as I’m busy’. He actually wasn’t even on Reception as we arrived. We waited ten minutes then loudly said ‘Bonjour’, which he appeared to take issue with. He was irked from the start). Evening staff great though- warm and welcoming. Didn’t eat at Castex as the breakfast room didn’t look that appealing. All in all, the location is amazing, a clean if tiny room (305), comfortable bed, decent shower but no amenities to speak of.

Small secure hotel in the 4th. Close to metro Bastille or Sully-Morland. Safe during the day and evening, lots of shops, grocery, pharmacy and restaurants and bakeries in the area.We had the connecting rooms; two rooms with full washrooms connected with a hallway, felt like a house. The rooms were clean and had a safe and mini fridge. Street facing room had some noise in the morning for daily garbage collection, very quick. Back room faced a courtyard with access from the ground floor. Breakfast was more than expected. Eggs, deli meat, yogurt, cheese and puréed fruit cups. Mini croissants, pain au chocolate, variety of other bread as well as gluten free bread and a toaster. Coffee machine, tea and juice as well as cereals. Nice assortment or jams, honey and Nutella. Daily cleaning of our rooms with fresh towels. Wifi was good and staff were pleasant and courteous. There’s a computer and printer in the lobby.
This hotel is charming and has all the amenities needed.
I would return in a heartbeat.

Our first 3 days were spent without hot water and then we had 2 days without a properly functioning lift. We were refunded 3 days money and our breakfasts were provided free. The receptionists were excellent and did what they could to diffuse the situation. The women in charge of the breakfast room on the otherhand didnt set the tables, or refill the items on the breakfast until asked even when there there was 2 hours left of service.

Location is great . I stayed here for one night as I was coming in from Newcastle to Paris for work . So I traveled all day to come into Paris and got into my room to take a shower and there was no hot water . Went downstairs and asked the staff he didn’t really care much and told me he forgot to tell me that there’s no hot water in the building ... Quite disappointed to be honest . Could have call and told me before I checked in so I could book another hotel . There was no hot water this morning either before I went to work .

The hotel looks nothing like the lovely photos. I was surprised by how downtrodden it was. I only paid 140. If I had paid more I would have been mad.
It was quiet. The manager at the desk was kind and it was close to metros. Not recommended

Absolutely excellent location in the Marais. We took the Eurostar train from London to Paris and then it was an easy Metro ride to the Bastille and a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Lots of bars restaurants shops and easy walks to major attractions from this hotel.
The room only had one electrical outlet in it which was a drawback.

The impression of the property at first sight is old and unattractive although the room is small, it is well kept, clean, well organized, includes a small balcony and it is comfortable. The breakfast is a typical French breakfast; croissants, pastries, toasts, boiled eggs, yogurts, ham and cheese-which is good and enough. The room is well heated. The staff is excellent and friendly. Answer all questions and engage in conversation. They are extremely helpful and friendly. Very accommodating. I would consider staying if our room did not face the streets. There is a lot of noise in the morning. Overall, great affordable place to stay.

I stayed in the hotel for over a week while visiting Paris. It was in an excellent area (le Marais)
and as I was alone, it felt very safe to walk home later in the evening. There were many cafés delicatessens, shops and a métro close by on the major street although the Hotel was quiet and on a side street. I had breakfast at the hotel every morning which was reasonable and good with lots of variety in choice. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The only downside was the bed which had a very soft, uncomfortable mattress so I woke up every morning with a backache. My recommendation would be to upgrade their mattresses. Overall, it is a good centrally located hotel to stay in Paris.

Paris Hotel Review

The huge amounts of water left on floor due to shower is a bit puzzling and could have been an issue for slipping. The WiFi service was terrible in the room. Outside of those two things the place was quaint and close to bus and train terminals to make it easy to get around. The close proximity to restaurants was an added bonus.
