Paris 1* star Hotels

I was traveling alone on business, on my dime. Needed Internet, a decent bed, a desk, and a decent price (60 euro per night!). This hotel was 2 blocks from Gare de Lyon and just over the river from Gare Austlitz - perfect location. Room was small as was the desk. The bathroom was very small - fine for me but would never do for my wife - too small with no counter space. Hair dryer in room. Iron at front desk. Quiet block and rooms. I slept well. I will probably stay again. Ask for a low - Charlotte

The hotel is in a great location to explore Paris. It was within easy walking distance of everything and the Metro was just around the corner if you wanted to explore further afield (its worth buying a Carnet {book of 10 tickets} for the metro as its much cheaper than buying individual tickets) The room was clean and the beds were v comfortable, although it was small. The staff were v friendly. I would definitely recommend the hotel as a base for exploring Paris the only warning I would give is - Jonathan

I just got back from 2 great nights in Paris. I did not want to spend a lot of money on a hotel but wanted a cheap clean place to lie down. Hotel des Arts Bastille was the perfect place for this. I came with another couple and we had two rooms in the 5th floor. The rooms are cozy a bed chair and hot water in a clean bathroom. This is not a place that you hang out in it is to change shower and get out tho see the sites. When I got to the hotel after taking the wrong metro line and walking 15-20 m - Deborah

A simple hotel, in the centre of Paris, and I mean the centre. Just look out of your window and it is all there. This hotel is bargain basement. If you want to pay Ritz prices then this is not the hotel for you. This place is simple. A clean bed and your own room. If you want to waste money on luxury, go somewhere else. I am sick of hearing people complain about this place. Look at the price you moaners. It is simple and clean. What more do you want? ANY MOANERS SHOULD PAY A FORTUNE TO GO SOMEWH - Clare

Before leaving I had read the reviews about the hotel and I was a little apprehensive. Agreeing with others reviewers who have gone through there, the weak point of the hotel is the lack of elevators. But as I’ve gotten a room on the second floor, this was not a big trouble to us. My room was the 205: room with enough size, clean, beautiful view and modern. It does not has an air-conditioning, but the heater works well. There’s missing a clock-radio in the rooms. The bathroom is very small, real - Keith

Staff was absolutely friendly and helpful, thanks!!!!! Location is good, easy to travel with METRO. Clean room, fresh towels! - Benjamin

My partner and I stayed at this hotel in September after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. I have to admit that we were not let down at all! Every time we travel, we make sure that the hotel is near to the major attractions. The reason why we have chosen this hotel is because of its strategic location. It is so close to the Metro Station! Besides, it is within walking distance (about 15 minutes if not less) to Centre Pompidou, Notre Dame, Louvre etc. Throughout our searches for hotels i - Jayne
