We loved the location of this hotel for our 5 day visit to Paris. After just having been in Normandy we were ready to see Paris! This hotel was the perfect place for us to stay since we were overwhelmed at which area of Paris to book in before our trip. So pleased that we choose the Bastille area, and... More

We chose this hotel purely because it was located very close to a friends apartment. Its a small hotel but very quiet despite being very close to Place de Bastille. Our room was small, but fine for storage and stay, the bathroom was very big in comparison. Our door opened onto a quiet, peaceful courtyard where we could sit with... More

we have stayed in several other Paris hotels but keep returning to Castex and are never disapointed. small friendly helpful staff. good position. very close to bastille metro (good line) easy walking to marais, bastille, jardin de plantes, louvre, notredam, isles, arsenal basin. several good restuarants & cafes nearby. eat & breakfast out in quiet side street off bastille. away...

Our room was always smelling like stale Tobacco smoke. Everytime we went into our room it smelt like someone had been smoking in it. It was foul. Yuck! We had to move the chair everytime we wanted to use the bathroom, because it was in the way of the door. There was no other place for it as the door... More

I was with my wife and 2 kids and we got communicating rooms, which were very convenient and comfortable. Beds were in particular good. The rooms were a bit dated, but clean. Service staff was extremely kind and friendly. Location is very good with Notre Dame and Centre Pompidou in walking distance and good metro service. A very good chance... More

This small hotel is located a bit off to the side but within easy walking distance to the best of Paris, and near a good Metro stop. I chose this hotel because I was traveling with my 21 year-old who would be staying on a few days after my departure and did not want to spring for a more luxurious... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Perfectly located for bars/restaurants and metro. Lots of places to get breakfast. Near the market. The rooms do let it down. I chose this hotel as I like small privately owned, authentic boutique hotels but the rooms are a little too dated, basic and lack the feel of holiday bliss.

We stayed in the Castex for three nights (€150 per night) - no complaints. Breakfast also good. Convenient location. One note (money missing, money stolen?) for future travellers. I left €200 in the room safe - this was gone when we checked out. I cannot explain this satisfactorily (I'm sure I didn't lose it but who would have opened the... More

This is my first bad review of a hotel on Trip Advisor but I had to warn other visitors to Paris. Please do not stay here. My double room is 175 euros per night and for that you have a very tired looking, small room, with no character, a soft bed and the worst noise. As I write I would... More
