Castex Hotel  

Good location, silent hotel, especially for Paris

My 17 yr old daughter and I just returned from a 3 day trip to Paris. The hotel was fantastic for our needs. Not fancy but very adequate. The room was small and breakfast was ok but the best part of it was the location. Just 3 streets from the metro and 15 min walk to Notre Dame. The area was safe at night and around the corner was a laundry mat. The neighborhood had tons of cafes and shops. Would definitely think about staying there again!

Locatio

Room very small , traveling on my own and staying in the courtyard room made me feel very uncomfortable. Evening receptionist not very welcoming.

Good location

small room, too noizy inside the building

The hotel is in a really great location - stones throw away from the restaurant Bofinger which was excellent (recommended by a local). Plus lots of boutique shops / main shops nearby. It is very close to Bastille and St Pauls metro stops, so easy to get to all of the attractions. The staff at the hotel were lovely and we were pleasently surprised by the room (good value).

Would have liked a bath, but pretty happy with the room otherwise.

Very friendly, gracious staff. Always clean room. This is about my third stay here, either with my husband or with my children.

Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room and comfortable bed Adequate breakfast

Breakfast room too small

The quiet location in a busy part of Paris that has not been too gentrified yet was ideal for me and my friend to reach from Eurostar/Gare du Nord - 15 mins by taxi or a simple metro ride to Bastille (note that you get out at exit 7 and there is quite a long underground walk to get out at Bastille. The rooms are small (choose one facing the courtyard for least noise) but functional with comfortable beds and have all one needs for a city break. Lots of reasonable local cafes for breakfast and people watching if you don't want to eat breakfast in the hotel. There is a good folder near reception with information on Paris and the staff are friendly and helpful. Good bus and metro connections to other parts of the city and lots to see locally. I will stay there again.

The lid of our toilet seat was coming adrift and the shower, though lovely and hot and with good pressure was hard to handle without flooding the bathroom floor because there is only a shower curtain and not a shower door and the curtain was too short to stop leakage out of the shower basin - both matters that could easily be sorted out by the hotel management.

Convenient, prices compare well with other central Paris locations, clean, friendly.

A reasonably priced hotel in a central position not too bar from Notre Dame. Lots of excellent restaurants nearby. Room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Staff attitude

Smell of the room.

The hotel was very nice, it had everything needed for several days in Paris. The only inconvenience was that the room was tiny, but it wasn't a big problem, as we were just sleeping there. Tea/coffee facilities in the room were very helpful, Internet in the lobby of the hotel was free. A bottle of wine was a present from the hotel, which was nice ))) Breakfast was great! Wide selection just for 10 euros, which is very cheap for Paris. The location is perfect: quiet area, supermarkets, stores and a metro station in a few minute walk. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
