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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I stayed here for 3 nights. The property is small but the rooms are basically as pictured on the website. It's not the most luxurious place I've stayed but it was clean. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room anyway as we were more focused on sight. It's a good place if you need a place to sleep and a clean shower. It has restaurants and a Metro station nearby.

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.

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
