Hipotel Paris Voltaire  

The Voltaire was very warm and comfortable. The staff were very kind and accommodating. We spent a week walking in numerous Paris neighborhoods, and the location of the hotel (Bastille) was our favorite. Do not miss the "Les Marcheurs du Monde" wine bar on Rue Roquet just a one minute walk away, nor the lovely French restaurant just a bit further down on the same side of the street that is called "Les Coulisses." Also, the Metro stop is less than 20 feet from the front door of the hotel (with which you are never more than 10-15 minutes away from anything). Do not miss the coffee shop (24 hour) 100 feet to the left as you exit the hotel. Go another 50 feet, around the corner (left again) for amazing croissants and all kinds of quality baked goods.NOTE: As travelers we avoid fancy/touristy areas in favor of encounters with real people and authentic locations; we look for decent but cheap housing, and care for excellent location.

Wi-fi in the lobby only.

The room was cleaned daily, towels were changed, soap and shower gel were available, it was a warm room (we travelled in November), close to the metro station, overall it was a good price-quality ratio.

The room was quite small and the bathroom in particular (it had no shower base and you had to shower directly on the floor), smelled like paint, walls were paper thin.

The hotel corresponded exacty to my needs. The location was perfect. Restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, transportation, everything was near. The room was tidy enough to me. Towels were changed regularly, and soap and shampoo added if needed. It was not too noisy althought my room was on the street side. ( I used ear plugs just in case..). I had a little balcony on the 6th floor and I had a fantastic view to the streets and over the roofs. The staff was helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel and of course in Paris. I will surely come back.

Good location a lot of restaurants close to the hotel, close to the metro and bus. Posibility to walk to around in the area, nice parks close to the hotel.

Access to the Voltaire Metro station and Bastille area on foot. Also, Tariq at the desk helped me to print out an important car rental voucher on the hotel computer.

Our room was not clean; there was paint on the drapes which were sagging to to lack of hooks; there were no hooks on the back of the bathroom door or a towel rack to hang towels or anything; there was mold on the grout in the bathroom; outside our one window there were a pile of cigarette butts; there was only one hanger provided. Do not take our room # 104!!!

Clear room, nice service, good location, excellent price

Poor breakfast, small elevator

Great location and connectivity, clean room (we had a renovated one), daily cleaning service, fresh towels every day (even if not required), close to McD, tube and supermarket; silet room with window to the yard (no view though).

The staff doesnt speak much English; from what I saw for breakfast, I would not recommend it (supermarket, McD and bakery were 20 metres from hotel).

There are many supermarkets, pharmacies and metro nearby.

It's noisy district.

Nice personal, good location :), good price

Good location is the only positive thing.

The moment you enter the lobby you understand that your booking was a terrible mistake. It's all old and smelly there. The room was tiny, dark and dirty. Bathroom looked as if it hasn't seen any cleaning for weeks. The subway station is just next to the hotel building, and I could hardly sleep because of all the street noise. Disgusting place! And for this price! I would never recommend it!!!

Location was great, right at the Voltaire metro stop. Staff was very friendly. Room was clean. We arived at 10 am after an overnight flight from the us with 2 young children and they let us check in early as the kids were so tired they were crying.

The room and especially bathroom was very small and the shower drained very slowly. Beds were not very comfortable.

There were no cockroaches

Located near metro station.

It's not very clean
