Saint-Louis Bastille  

Hotel is quite basic but clean with excellent showers and tea/coffee in room. Some rooms small. Air-conditioning and a lift. Quiet at night. We found the location very pleasant - slightly off-beat with a traditional Parisien atmosphere with an excellent market (Pepincourt)in front on Tuesdays and Fridays and many cheap and lively bars and restaurants and some specialist food shops in the rue Oberkampf just round the corner. It is also in easy reach of areas such as Bastille and the Marais and is very close to the Metro, just 5 quick stops from the Gare du Nord and Eurostar, and also from the Grands Magasins area.

We had booked a twin room but were given a double room. This was totally unsuitable. We were offered free breakfasts as compensation but did not accept this (we are single women in our sixties travelling together). We stuck to our guns and were then given a perfectly nice twin room on the ground floor which we accepted. The problem was dealt with fairly but was an aggravation as the booking had been made three months previously!!

Great location near Oberkampf metro station. Close to many brasseries and Republique. Easy to walk to many attractions. Helpful English speaking staff. Good breakfast - great croissants.

Breakfast a bit overpriced (11 euro per day). A bit of noise from the Boulevard. Esp on Friday mornings (there is an open market which starts really early in the morning). Do request a rear room if available.

Wonderful Paris Accomodations that capture true France with an amazing & Courteous staff.

The room was very nice.

The plumbing was quite loud!

Good location for visiting

A bit noisy

Great area to explore - great restarants and bars close to the hotel and not really toeristic. Really close to oberkampf metro stop.

Neat & welcome reception. Staff friendly. Room comfortable despite broken door handle. Not too distant from central area for sightseeing.

My door handle was broken from start and couldn't get anyone to fix it though I asked several times. The lift did not work for most of weekend and knowing this hotel only had 1 staff on desk so noone to help us get luggage down 3 floors when leaving! Though conveniently situated its quite a scruffy, seemingly unsafe part of city.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, booking a restaurant we wanted and ordering taxis. Rooms were pleasantly furnished. There was air conditioning in the room, essential as it looked out onto a very small narrow space.

Website said hotel had a bar. This turned out to be a tray of bottles in the corner of reception. The wastepaper bin in my room was not emptied in all the time I was there (4 days), the handle kept falling off the door and the mug for coffee had no handle.

The location exceeded expectations as did the very helpful staff members who took turns manning the reception desk. All spoke English a whole lot better than my French and all were willing to do that little bit extra that makes a hotel stay change from bearable to pleasant. All hotels in Paris advertise that they have recently been renovated: this one really was! The size of the room was very good.

Hotel staff was ok, same as services and facilities. It is located close to metro station.

Noise in the hall and very thin walls.

Location. Our room was particularly good for wardrobe and shelf space.For the price we paid it was spacious. The reception staff were very pleasant .

The bed was hard.Our room on the ground floor experienced traffic noise from the street at the back.The lift was out of order for all the three nights of our stay but not a problem on the ground floor!!.

i liked the location, the style of the rooms. and i felt it was value for money.
