Cheap Hotels In Bastille - Republique

This place was beyond expectations, and I read the previous positive reviews so expectations were fairly high. This hotel is adorable, love the quirky interior design- you'll not see boring blank walls in this place. But everything works and it was a relaxing place to return to at the end of each day. Also, the bed is super comfortable firm enough to give good spinal support but soft enough to be really comfortable. Also, the twinkle lights behind the tiles in the bathroom was an amazing touch. This is one fun hotel. Location wise, you aren't in the center of paris or necessarily next to any of the big landmarks but you are next door to a delicious boulangerie (highly recommend their viennoise) and close to two metro stations, and there's a bus along the street the hotel is on. Personally, I leisurely walked to Notre Dame in about an hour including stops for photos, coffee, and my viennoise bread breakfast. The hotel also gives you a printout of interesting and lesser known points of interest in the neighbourhood which was quite cool. I didn't have any trouble getting around paris going to/from the hotel througout my stay. Finally, this hotel gives you a handy smartphone! Free 4g data (maps! Internet!), local calling and international calling to a couple countries (USA, Italy, Germany were a few I remember). This was pretty amazing. I would definitely stay here again, recommend it to everyone I know, and recommend it to anyone I don't know. This place was superb.

This was a nice hotel. I recommend getting a room over the courtyard rather than over the street though as it is right off of rue Faubourg du Temple, which is a very busy street 24 hours/day. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue I had, and this goes for the great majority of French hotels, was the lack of comfortable pillows; they were lumpy and the 2nd pillow had an awful polyester pillowcase that was not nice to use. This is a Muslim area with halal butchers and even the crepe stand down the street was halal.

Hotel staff were friendly, informative and went beyond expectations. From recommending restaurants, exchanging currency & giving advise to first time tourists. We were offered an upgraded room at a large discount & could not turn it down. Clean modern room. Small fridge, filled with drinks & snacks (at a price). Small balconies on 3 windows with a great view from the 6th floor. A 4-5 minute walk to the metro with restaurants in every direction.

Priced right and near 2 metros. Staff very helpful. The neighborhood was not dangerous, but was not all that good, either. The bathroom was a joke! WHAT were they thinking with that microscopic shower!? Every time I turned, my elbow knocked the selector and I was scalded! But for the money, this quaint little hotel cannot be beat. I would stay here again. Folks, it's Paris! You won't spend that much time in your room, anyway! The motorscooter traffic can be loud, but this was easily remedied by closing the windows, which must have some kind of super-soundproofing job. We did not hear a soul in the other rooms and we sort-of expected this. So, to summarize, we arrived not expecting much but were pleasantly surprised to find a great room for the money. Avoid the hotel breakfast and walk to one of many nearby patissieries for a croissant or le pain au chocolate.

Rooms are small but clean and well kept. The staff members I interacted with were friendly. Close to a delicious bakery and the metro station Nation. Would stay there again if I go back to Paris.

I'd give the hotel an excellent rating overall. It is not super fancy but first rate in everything they do. The staff is outstanding and it is in the heart of my favorite part of town. I did not give the facilities an excellent rating because I wish Europeans would provide a full shower curtain and that the restaurant was closed for the winter season.

Really enjoyed every aspect of my stay. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of artistic flair and boutiquish style. And I never expected to sleep so well in Paris, but found the bed extremely comfortable. In addition, great area to stay, metro steps away and walking distance to many must sees.

Our room wasn't ready when we arrived early, but they stored our luggage while we had lunch and explored our neighborhood. Staff helped us book a tour. (We later found out it would have been just as easy to do this at one of the many tourist "i" information locations.) They also booked taxis for us twice, when we had early morning plans. We took advantage of the laundry service once. We chose not to eat breakfast there but grab pastries and coffee at one of the many nearby bakeries. The room, albiet small, was very clean and well-appointed. The elevator is small, but wasn't a problem. We liked the less touristy location and quiet park nearby.
