I booked a room based on a review in the NY Times (Frugal Paris). While the bedding and bathroom were clean, the carpet in our room, my friend's room and the hallways was filthy and covered with stains. Despite the low price for a Paris hotel, I would not recommend this to a friend. The front desk staff spoke very... more

While the hotel staff are nice enough this hotel is far from anything comfortable. The walls are thin so don't plan on sleeping if your neighbors are moving around or talking. The elevator is teeny tiny (not uncommon in big or older cities) but they have rooms on a floor that is not even accessible via elevator. This was our... more

We booked this hotel after reading about it in a New York Times Frugal Traveler column. It was a good bargain and well located, but much too noisy for us. Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff, very well located (very near the Charonne metro, less than 15 minutes walk to Rue de Faubourg Ste Antoine and the Bastille area), good... more

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... more

We were nervous about booking this hotel- the reviews we read were a bit mixed but we went ahead. The location of this hotel is excellent, the metro is literally a 5minute walk and all the major tourist attractions are easily accessible from the metro at Charonne. The hotel itself is cheap 55euro-night for a double room in peak season!!... more

This hotel is a terrific bargain at 55 EUR a night in mid-July. At that price you can scarcely stay in a dingy Paris youth hostel dorm, let alone a 2-star hotel. The room was small but clean (daily maid service, fresh towels, laminate floor - meaning no grotty carpet) and adequately equipped (tv, hairdryer, desk, wardrobe, comfortable mattress). The... more

Overall I thought this wasn’t a bad hotel. It’s true that it’s small but we stayed there five nights and we were happy with our stay. The elevator is very small but we fitted two people and our luggage in it. The lift only goes to the fifth floor so if you are on the top floor you have to... more

The hotel is the cheapest we could find and its located close to Bastille metro station - only 10 minutes walk by rue de Charonne, where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants and bars, so it was safe to come to the hotel late. The rooms are tiny, the shower is very tiny, but do you really need a... more

We expected much worse but the hotel really does look like the pictures from the website. It's all renovated and refurnished. The hallway and staircase are tiny but the rooms were big enough. And the bathroom even had a bathtub (and those free sachets of shower gel). It was very clean and they changed our towels every day. Staff was... more

This seemed the cheapest central Paris place (at 50 Eur/night) without consistently terrible reviews on TA and that isn't a hostel. I echo the other positive "good for the money" reviews. Lobby/breakfast area recently remodeled. Room spartan but clean, w/4 or 5 channels of local TV. Ensuite bathroom clean and great shower. Hallways, stairs and some rooms are apparently mid-refurbishment:... more
