My husband and I have spent three nights at Hotel Bastille de Launay in March. Despite bad weather, we had the chance to join the most beautiful spots in Paris by foot, because of the excellent location of the hotel. The staff was friendly, but as they realize I can speak french they don't mind to let me understand. The... more

I just returned from a 4 night stay at the Hotel Bastille de Launay in Paris. I stayed in a single room and upon moving in noticed a weird smell...I should have asked for another room right there and then as it turned out the room had bed bugs and they had just sprayed desinfectant there... I did not notice... more

This is a basic, fairly ok hotel, but I won't be going back. From the moment we arrived we had grief with the booking system. Having booked a double room 3 months in advance we were told on arrival that they only had a twin room available because they were booked up! Then when we checked out the guy at... more

I stayed at Bastille de Launay for 4 nights, good location in the charming Marais, easy to find, close to Chemin Vert Metro Station. My room was very clean (no bugs beds), pleasantly furnished in French style only a bit noisy because for the traffic on Boulevard Beaumarchez ( the room looked out of Rue Amelot). Around the Hotel there... more

Just got back from 2 days in Paris. This hotel was perfect as a base. Great location, walking distance to lots of the right places. We were a bit worried about some of the reviews of this place but it was clean and well maintained. The room was very comfortable. The staff are an unusual bunch but basically friendly (one... more

I thought this was a cute, hidden-away hotel. Clean rooms and friendly staff (they speak English and thank goodness, no bed bugs in my room). The breakfast was decent and good; cheeses, fruits, bread, good coffee. Great location, as the Chemin Vert Metro station is a short walk down the street. You get to experience the "real Paris," as most... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Bastille de Launay for three nights. We chose this hotel due to it's good, fairly central location and it's low price. It isn't exactly easy to find, especially walking from the Gare de Nord. We had to pass through two busy squares to get there and then locate the hotel down a small... more

The hotel has been recently renovated however the room I received did not appear as those advertised. Paris in April was surprisingly hot but beautiful just the same. The hotels location was a bit hard to find at first since it is on a side street which is part of another side street. Within a 5 minute walk to the... more

The Bastille de Launay Hotel is a small in a very good place, close to the Bastille square, a lot of very "Parisine" corner coffees and restaurants, two metro stations close (one and four blocks) Try to get rooms inside, the front one we had the first time we satyed was noise, motorcycle shop is next door and during the... more
