We got a room on the 5th floor, no street noise at all and clean and tidy room/bathroom. The mattress was really firm/hard, but that was pretty much the only bad thing about the room. Avoid, though, if you like a very soft bed. Location is okay, between the Place Bastille and Republique, close to the metro and easy to... More

When using Tripadvisor I like to take all reviews with a grain of salt but in this case I wish I would have paid more attention to the negative reviews. On arrival we were given a room on the third floor in the back which I thought would be great, not so. The lift can hold two people that's it,... More

I was very disappointed when we settled in our room...I went into the bathroom, turned on the lights to find bugs scattering into the shadows. Not cool! The tissue paper holder didn't have any tissues and there was black mold growing in the crevice of the tub, and mildew in the tiles of the shower...gross! The beds were so uncomfortable... More

Just returned from France and our stay at the St. Louis Bastille Hotel. Lovely room and bathroom. Clean towels and beds made every day. Tea and cookies in room. We were on the first floor in the back. No problem with noise at all. One night people above us seemed to be moving furniture but thats not a hotel problem.... More

We stayed the first week of September and we had a great time, always clean, quiet (3 rd floor), even when the room faces the street and on some days of the week there is a food market on the boulevard, really charming. Good location, 2 blocks from Oberkampf metro station, quite a few cafes in the area. Staff very... More

Reasonable hotels in Paris can be diabolically hard to secure and anything reasonable at the budget end of the market will be sold out months and months in advance. You must book early! Like the UK, hotels in broader Europe appear to be a bit of a rip off. You pay a whole lot and get very little in return.... More

We stayed there for 5 nights. The rooms are very spacious and clean, have a flat TV with cable, coffee and tea facilieties and there is free wi fi internet through out the hotel. The bathroom is very nice and roomy. The breakfast was very good, there is a selection of pastries, fruit, jams, yougurt, eggs and cheese for you... More

This hotel had some nice elements (location and general features) but personally the experience was tainted by the unclean toilet (and cups) and tired elements of the room (split shower hose which was taped back together unsuccessfully). More

We stayed at the St-Louis Bastille for a honeymoon, based on favorable reviews -- the reviews were right on the mark. We got in before the 2PM check in, in which the desk clerk allowed us to leave the luggage in the lobby while we explored the neighborhood -- let me say that they were in trusted hands. Free newspapers,... More
