Hotel is conveniently located near Place de la Bastille. Surrounding lots of cafes and restaurants. Near to Metro. The hotel is small with around 20 rooms. Room is quiet, small and cozy. The toilet is in white and clean. The only downside is the area outside the lift on each floor. It can be quite dangerous if not careful. However, the hotel encourages the guests to use the staircase.

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.

Everything good except outside noise

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.

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.

BUYER BEWARE

Reviews claiming this property to be clean are NOT true. Photos are dated & misleading!

There literally was sh*t left on the toilet brush.

The pillow covers & bed sheets were dirty, as if they were not changed from the previous tenants.

The property claims that it is smoke free, yet this is the first thing you smell once you enter the premises, & when you enter the room.

We could not sleep, as the stale smoke triggered our nasal allergies.

We obtained assistance from Expedia regarding relocation; we were told by the relocation agents to check out and not pay anything; we asked the Expedia relocation agent on what to do if it triggers conflict (which it did). At check-out, we were detained (false imprisonment by hotel staff); the hotel staff insisted on speaking French only knowing full well that it is not my first language. He was rude, he was aggressive, & we felt aggressed. He even threatened to call the police.

I got an agent at Expedia (not a relocation agent) but obtained no help at that moment. The frontline Expedia agent insisted that they speak to the property first, compromising our personal safety. The agent said to call police, but (a) it would take a while before the police got there, and (b) that there was a strike in Paris at the time.

I have never been yelled at this much, we were accused of being the scammers! Made a judgment call & paid the amount demanded by this scam of a seedy \"hotel\" & dealt with the damage later.

It was clean and close to the metro, but the room doesn't have any amenities (minibar, iron, hair dryer...). The elevator is tiny (it can fit 2 slim people) and you still need to use the stairs when leaving the elevator. The staff was helpful and the area has bars/restaurants/market around, but what I didn't know is that the area can be reeeeeeeeally noisy at night from Thursday to Sunday. So if you're light sleeper, not a good place to stay.

The hotel Is located in a very active part of the city with lots of dining and close access to the metro. It is housed in a cleanly renovated older building like most properties in this area of Paris. The staff is great and was helpful to us on several occasions.

This is a no frills place and the amenities are commensurate to the price per night. The size of the rooms are quite compact but we’re what we were expecting and needing. Our room was a back facing one that had a window facing another back of building so the view was not much to speak of but the window opened and allowed for fresh air.

The place is cleaned and reasonably well appointed for the price. The only issue we had was our bathroom (although clean) had a pretty consistent musty smell. We kept the AC running to help air it out but it seemed to be there pretty consistent through our stay.

I would recommend this hotel as a cost effective stay in a good part of Paris.

Location near Bastille Metro line was good. They tried to charge us a second time when we’d already settled payments months ago through Expedia, we resolved this. Rooms were small and there was some noise from the bustling street, but expected as per earlier reviews. Bathrooms were alright and looked to be reasonably new. Unfortunately we didn’t feel that safe as we checked in around 12pm and used the bathroom in our room before heading out for the afternoon, when we returned someone had clearly used the bathroom in our “locked” room as there was a cigarette butt (we don’t smoke) in the toilet bowl, didn’t bother bringing it up as we’d previously struggled with communication with the front desk staff (perfectly polite, just language barriers).

Three nights. Bastille is excellent...

Rue de Roquette is narrow, busy. Hotel great value. Remember Paris hotel rooms are small as buildings often narrow. 24 hr concierge, bathroom superb. Double glazed but a bit noisy if window open... although we enjoyed view. Great breakfast and late night eats around. House keeping excellent, crisp white sheets & towels.

The hotel was just \"okay\". The walls are paper thin, I could hear everything in the flat next to mine. There was a long black hair in the bed. It would have been helpful if the front desk person could have spoken just the very basics of English to get us checked in. He didn't speak ANY English whichi is absurd for someone sitting at a front desk of a hotel. Despite not being able to speak English, he was quite pleasant. The neighborhood is very shady/dodgy, even during the day but especially at night. We stayed over a Saturday night so we got to see the worst of it, probably. I would not recommend staying in that area if you have small children. I'm a seasoned traveler but didn't feel quite safe there. I wouldn't stay in that area or that hotel again.

Smashing a VERY clean little hotel.

Despite some of the reviews here about noise, this area of Paris is a place where a multitude of people come to have a night out so, you can't have failed to be aware of it with a little pre-booking research. The flip side of that is that there are a multitude of great bars and restaurants within minutes of your hotel and a handy little Monoprix right across the street.
The staff (including the cleaner) are just really nice people and the rooms are spotless. The room was tidied and fresh towels provided each day. The late check-out at 12 pm was a bonus on our last day. The metro (Bastille) is less than a minute from the front door of the hotel. Wi-fi was great too.
Overall, an immaculately clean and friendly place to stay with a host of venues to amuse yourself right on your doorstep.

Overall, this place has a GREAT location. The metro is literally across the street and you can get anywhere. The staff was not very helpful as they did not speak ANY English(like most of the people in Paris). We were supposed to have a 430am taxi that the front desk NEVER called for. We lucked out and were able to walk down the street and flagged a taxi from across the street. The room was very clean, the bathroom was decent, and although there was no safe nothing was missing from the room. But still when traveling abroad it definitely puts your mind at ease to have a safe in your room. Overall would not stay here again, but it is not a bad place, on the cheaper side in a pinch.

You get what you pay for

I needed a fairly cheap hotel this time and here's what I thought about it:
Service: The two guys were nice, and one spoke English and the other tried his best. Housekeeping only came once out of 3 nights. If you are going out to party they lock the entrance and you have to knock to get in, and hope that the attendant hears you.
Cleanliness/condition: It was a clean room and in pretty good condition.
Comfort: The room was really small which I knew, the bed was okay. They DO NOT have wash cloths! You will have to wash with your hands, bring your own, or use a large hand towel like I did and dry off with an extra small towel. You also have to ask for a iron and ironing board and hope that they can find it.
Local area: The location was AWESOME! It's located on a street filled with bars, cafes, shopping, and the Metro is 1/2 block away.

Great one star hotel

Considering that Paris is one of the most beautiful and expensive capitals of the world, this hotel serves its purpose well, by providing a small but clean room at a great location and a convenient price.

The staff is very friendly the room is clean including the the bathroom which appears to have been recently renovated with a new sink, shower and new fixtures.

The hotel is literally a couple of minutes away from the Bastille Subway station entrance. Starbucks is right across as well as a mixture of interesting international restaurants lining the whole Roquette street. Right near the subway station there are great traditional French cafes. Besides its closeness to the subway station, the hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the river Seine as well as the Saint Michel area full of restaurants all offering fantastic French crepes; worth the additional 10 minutes walk.

I highly recommend to budget travelers who do not mind the small size of the room.

Great location

My stay was pleasant would have been even more amazing if we could determine the source of constant cigarette smoke smell entering our room, staff was amazing and tried assisting. It was super close to the metro and bars and clubs. perfect location, room are tiny but that's to be expected , but they were kept very clean.

Great staff and location!

We stayed for two nights in the hotel. The area around the hotel is awesome, great nightlife and restaurants. Gets a little loud at night but worth it to be in such a great area. Walking distance to Notre Dame, Lourve, etc. and also right next to a metro stop. The staff was super friendly and the room was small but clean (and super comfy beds!) Would definitely recommend to a friend/stay here again.

Newer hotel, close to Bastille metro.

We stayed one night in November. The room was clean with new decor. It was a bit small. The bed was hard. The bathroom was clean, large and new.

Para ser un hotel 2 estrellas me parece muy bien, tienes una cama comoda, una habitacion pequeña pero bien si son 2 personas y el desayuno es muy basico pero te quita la tarea de salir a buscar, hay pan, queso, cereal, yogurt, cafe, jugo. Esta a 2 minutos de un metro (excelente) y a 5 min caminando del barrio le marais. Lo escogimos por el precio y por que esta a 25 min andando de Gare du Lyon que es desde donde llegamos a Paris. La calle frente al hotel tiene muchos restaurantes y el barrio la bastille se sentia seguro y con mucha gente a todas horas. Lo malo el elevador es mini, si llevas maleta grande apenas cabes tu y tu maleta, me daba un poco de inseguridad, así que me tocaba subir 4 pisos de escaleras para evitarlo. Pero al subir mi maleta y bajarla en el elevador todo bien.

Expérience très décevante, voire agaçante...

J'avais réservé très longtemps à l'avance (début janvier pour une nuitée le 19 mai) à l'hôtel Bastille. Mais le jour de la réservation l'hôtel m'indique que ma chambre n'est finalement plus disponible pour une raison peu claire.

Il est probable que cet hôtel pratique le surbooking et, comme j'avais réservé en avance à un tarif alors moins élevé, ma réservation devait moins intéressante pour eux...

La solution proposée fut donc de me reloger (au tarif de ma réservation initiale) dans une chambre de l'hôtel voisin (Petit Bastille), qui ne dispose que d'une étoile et dont les chambres sont vraiment d'un confort très limité (chambre et salle d'eau minuscules, literie usée jusqu'à la corde, mobilier vétuste, etc.).

L'hôtel m'a certes offert le petit déjeuner en \"compensation\", mais sa démarche est surprenante. En règle générale, dans ce genre de situation, on surclasse le client dont on ne peut honorer la commande en dédommagement... Là, on le déclasse... Dont acte.

De fait, je ne peux pas juger de la qualité de l'hôtel Bastille lui-même puisque je n'ai pas profité de ses services. Je n'en jugerai jamais car je n'y retournerai pas et je ne peux clairement pas le conseiller.

Better options available in the neighborhood

We spent three nights at this hotel and despite being on a strategic location to visit Paris we had to endure constant bad humidity smell in the room and corridors. It would take very little to keep the place take some air.
Unfortunately, we also struggle with the room service as tv did not work and ended up without proper soap for the shower in the last two days.
On the positive side, we were lucky enough to not get a room on the street side because it would have been extremely challenging to sleep at night considering the type of people that you find on the street and what happens at night.

Väldigt enkelt hotell, litet och oglamoröst. Men helt okej, inte minst med tanke på det fantastiska läget! Två minuters promenad till operan! Personalen var snäll och samarbetsvillig. Frukost köpte jag på Monop’ som ligger mittemot hotellet. Ganska mycket ljud från gatan, men öronproppar på natten fixar det problemet.

Chambre moins grande et plus miteuse que ça ne faisait l’apparence dans les photos. Beaucoup de bruit pendant la nuit, faut absolument insister sur une chambre au 2e ou plus haut, ou apporter des bouchons. Pas de safe, pas de frigo. Le tout aurait été correct pour un prix moins élevé, mais nous, on s’attendait à mieux.

Bruyant mais accueillant

Séjour d'une nuit. En effet, le côté rue est bruyant. Nous avions prévu les boules Quiès, donc avons pu dormir.
la chambre est petite mais nous étions peu sur place.
L'accueil est très sympa
