| Truly enjoyed my 4 day stay at this hotel! Located just three blocks from a main train station and all the metro and bus stops are nearby as well. The staff, all of them, were friendly and very helpful and pleasant. As a single woman, traveling alone, I felt safe and comfortable. I certainly would stay here again! |

| Close to the Gare de Lyon, suitable for a business and for a vacation clientele. |

| Very friendly, helpful staff. A hotel as good or better than other much more expensive ones I've stayed in in Paris. Excellent value for the money. |

| This hotel is cheap and cheerful. Conveniently located for Gare de Lyon or Bercy if you're getting the train to anywhere else in France. |

| I was looking for a hotel with 3 things, wife, air conditioning and iron. The hotel had these, but everything else was lacking. Rooms and common areas badly need updating; elevator was broken (tough for people on the 4th floor). Service was either incompetent, i.e. Clerk forgot to order a taxi as promised, or snooty. |

| This was our first Hotel Paris and a lovely little one at that. Great location with plenty of shops. Plenty of places to eat out. Knowing now how easy it is to get around Paris on the underground I would have stayed here the entire stay. |

| In realtà i voti sono riferiti a un'altra struttura perchè appena siamo arrivate ci hanno detto di un errore e che avremmo alloggiato in un'altro hotel (hotel belle epoque www.pavillonsaintlouisbastille.com). Questo hotel era comunque vicino, anzi più in centro dell'altro ed è stato appena ristrutturato. Bellissimo. Abbiamo speso davvero poco rispetto alla qualità e alla pulizia dell'hotel. Lo consiglio a chiunque! |

| Although the staff was friendly and helpful the maintainence of the hotel paticularly the lift (elevator) was unacceptable. We stayed for ten nights and only had a lift three of those days. Considering we were staying on the sixth floor and had to lug our luggage up a narrow staircase and down again. One night they ran out of towels and we had to shower with only a hand towel to dry off with. This hotel had been listed as a three star we felt that this was an over statement of the value and should be only be a one or two star at the very most. Like I said before, the staff was a definate mitigating factor but the lack of an elevator for such an extended time was not an experience I would care to experience again. |

| It wasn't as close to Gare de Lyon as expected, but it wasn't bad if you don't have much luggage. We were very satisfied with it. If you are traveling in a large group with many bags, stay somewhere closer to the train station or airport that has a bigger elevator. |

| Paris is a very expensive city so in relative terms this hotel provides a good option. We did have some small complaints however - rooms imperfectly clean and employees did not have accurate information about important issues e.g. closure of the Metro on 14 July |

| This hotel is conveniently situated near metro and rail stations in residential area amid beautiful 18'th & 19'th century buildings. Most rooms offer nice views from the windows; several rooms come with balconies. Rooms are fairly spacious for european hotels but are still smaller than an american traveller might expect. Most employees at concierge desk speak good English and are eager to help with patrons' needs. Elevator cabin is very small: at most two people can fit (or one with luggage). Room service is impeccable. |

| This hotel is walking distance from the Gare de Lyon (major train and metro station) and very convenient to the lively Bastille neighborhood. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but the rooms and furnishings seem dated. I would not recommend getting a room on the top floor as the ceilings are slanted due to the roof and makes it feel cramped. This was especially a problem in the bathrooms where we could not stand up fully in the tub because of the sloping ceiling. |

| Cramped rooms with even more cramped bathroom make this old feeling hotel a difficult place to spend much time in. For the price I would stay at an etap hotel on the outskirts of town. At least you can fit in their shower |

| A little pricey but given that it was the Rugby World Cup that was hardly a surprise. My room was clean, spacious and had a great view over the city. Very Parisian. Despite being very near to Gare de Lyon, the hotel was hard to find. |

| Small room, but that was expected; the bathroom was quite large, though. The staff was friendly and helpful. I thought this was a perfect location by being so close to Gare de Lyon train station -- perfect for getting around. And there were tons of restaurants just minutes away. I'd absolutely stay here again, especially for the cheap price. |
