Hôtel Des Arts-Bastille

Great location, had a lovely vibe in the area with local people rather than tourist. Good bus links & metro station close by. The hotel room was a decent size & clean. Glad to have air con in the room which was a bonus as weather was hot. The hotel lift is very tiny-used to go up only & for luggage... otherwise used staircase. This is expected due to the age of the property. Decent hotel & would definitely recommend it.

The hotel is in an excellent location just a few minutes' walk from the nearest Metro. My room was on the fourth floor, but thankfully there is a lift. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a view overlooking the street. The air conditioning was easy to operate and the shower was powerful, although it took a couple of minutes to achieve the temperature I wanted. The reception was manned day and night, and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was available every day in the lobby for an extra charge, and the adjoining restaurant was busy and lively in the evenings. I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was very satisfactory. Staff was very polite and accommodating. 24/7 reception. Room size was very good for Paris standards with nice view (4th floor), air-condition, WiFi and amenities. Extra bonus the Nespresso machine and free capsule refill in the room. Good bathroom size. Daily cleaning. Decent breakfast, free for my 5 year old child. Location is great, close to nice restaurants and metro. No pressure in check out and free baggage storing.

We chose this hotel because we really needed something good but not too expensive. And I think it was a great idea to choose this hotel! The location is pretty nice. Yeah, it's far from the city center but it's a very nice neighborhood, there are a lot of stores, cafes and restaurants around, so you'll have many options to have breakfast and dinners. We came back at 11 p.m. many times and it felt safe every time. Besides, there are about 3 metro lines not far from the hotel, so it's easy to get anywhere you want. The hotel is small but cute! I really loved the staff, the way the hotel looks. Nothing to complain about for real. Don't expect anything spacious or luxury, it's just a small comfy lovely hotel with some French vibes which I enjoyed a lot. The room was small, but that was obvious. We had a very nice view, I really loved the windows, it all looked exactly how I imagined when I was thinking about Paris. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Air-conditioner was working fine as well. The bathroom was small and getting into the shower wasn't very comfortable, but still, it was clean and the shower worked well, so it's still fine. This is a very good option for a budget hotel. If it costs more, I would say it's not good enough but for this price it's very good.

The location was very good as the hotel is Charonne Station Line 9 is just a 4 minute walk. Line 1 was also close just a 7 minute walk. The beds are VERY comfortable and room was OK not big not small. There is an elevator that is a bit scary as it is very small just for 3 people that will be a challenge for claustrophobic people. The stairs are circular and are also quite challenging to go with luggage farther than the second floor. So if you have a lot of luggage ask for a lower level floor. Other than the elevator or stairs this hotel is superb. Staff is also extremely helpful and nice. We try the breakfast and it is really good also.
