Citadines Bastille Marais Paris

This hotel's location is truly magnificent, close to everywhere one might wish to see in Paris. It offers clean, spacious rooms with well-appointed kitchens. All that and warm hospitality to welcome one back after a delightful day of discovery. Highly recommended!!

I was disappointed. Spent extra for a Studio Deluxe with a balcony. The pictures looked nothing like reality. I actually pulled up the hotel site to see if my mind was playing tricks on me. The rooms are very dated (especially the bathroom) and the balcony was dirty. As others have mentioned, the AC worked very poorly if at all. Luckily, I travelled with a couple portable fans. Even the studio is small for two people. But I wouldn’t have minded the size if it was nice like the pictures. We had 5 hangers for two people for a week stay. Had the pre-checkin and requested extra hangers. Upon a second request, we were given 5 more. Oh, and no drawers, just a few shelves. The kitchenette was fine. It did have an iron and ironing board which was unexpected and nice. The area felt safe and convenient. Bastille Market was just a few steps away. Expensive, but ‘tis the season. I will not return. For the cost, I will likely try an Airbnb the next time. Laundry room was convenient, but costs 9 euro per load.

I booked Citadines because I was looking for a room to share with my daughter, so she could have a whole room for herself (the living room with the sofa bed), and it worked perfectly. Bear in mind that this is not a boutique hotel, but a very practical place to stay, including a small kitchen. The location is fine, a few steps from the coolest streets in Marais, and the Canal Saint-Martin leading to the Seine. Breakfast is Ok, and I did not mind not having room tidying since we only stayed for a couple of nights. The staff is friendly (we spoke French with them, I don't know if that would be the same in English).

No air conditioning. They have some kind of swamp cooler system, but even with it churning away in a darkened room all day at « 65F » , your room will be 78F+ at night. Also, One of two elevators not working, for days. The front desk people can be really rude at times, as well. Save yourself some grief & find good accommodation in Paris. It’s hard to go out touristing in the heat all day, only to come back to hot hotel room at night.

Feel like the won the jackpot with this hotel. Super friendly (and multilingual) front desk staff gave me a gorgeous room on the 7th floor. The room is large, airy, with windows that open - yea! There is a desk, then a small table for two, a nice kitchen (w a door) and a great bathroom- that not only has a door but the door to the hallway it is in also closes- so total privacy. Everything you need- tea towels, washing up liquid, decent knives- they have thought it all through. Grocery stores just minutes away as is the metro. Bed is so comfy, linens are clean and crisp. I could live here!

Have stayed here twice, both times in spacious rooms with good functionality and a lot of storage space. I've been to a number of aparthotels over the years, and I really don't think you can get a bigger room at this price range in central Paris (and probably this only lasts until they get round to upgrading the somewhat dated bathrooms). I quite like having the little dining table instead of the standard hotel room desk, along with the little kitchen it feels like a holiday rental. The staff we encountered were all excellent. I intend to book again.

We arrived here at 1 pm. At 3 pm the room is not ready and we dont know when we will be in the room. And rude recepcionist and no apologize. And she said you are lucky. I would never recommend you to come here

we booked the deluxe apartment, 3 girls on a birthday trip. First room was like a hostle, only linnens ad bathtowels for 2 not 3. room didn't have the balcony we booked it for, after an argument over the hotel being fully booked, we were suddenly given another room, it had the small balcony, but the bathroom was riddled with black mould, the toilet unclean, and bin still full from the previous guest. absolutely foul. housekeeping came to clean again, but still didnt do the job, it was almost 6pm but the time we had acess to our room. spend a little more for a better situated and cleaner hotel, this one is awful, and ruined a birthday trip. also woken to still saws cutting tiles on the floor we were on, and left our room to white start stuck to floor for work being done, no-one said anything, its was just an absolute shambles of a place. highly dissappointing.|not once did we get housekeeping i our rooms while we stayed. 4 days. its honestly a joke.

Stayed here for a couple consecutive nights on 2 separate pre-paid bookings, booked direct and it was merely a mediocre experience. Found out the hard way, during the heatwave, that only certain hotels in Paris are air-conditioned, even within a same brand... The best part about the stay was that the property is air conditioned, although somewhat dated and needing some refurbishment... Check-in was slightly bumpy, initially being offered a room with a broken A/C, before being upgraded to a Deluxe Studio, featuring a balcony, supposedly due to having status with ASR. The studio itself is dated, and in need of either some deep cleaning and/or remodeling. The first studio had a weak A/C unit and the 2nd studio had a strong A/C. Water pressure in the shower was excellent, although the drain was a touch finnicky. Towels were on the thinner side. The mattress was on the firmer side and provided a great nights rest. My studio ended up with 2 twins (instead of a double or queen), which was fine, which meant more space for my carry on! The kitchen was extremely dated, although well-equipped, including a dishwasher, hood, crockery, fridge, and microwave. A kitchenette is a phenomenal way to get additional square footage, in an otherwise tight hotel room! There was a complimentary espresso maker in the lobby along with a laundry room that can be operated by the WeWash app. Breakfast was available for a fee. There are numerous bakeries and grocery stores within walking distance to get breakfast! The Metro is also merely a few minutes away by foot!

Paris is expensive. If you're like me, you probably want to be spending all your cash on delicious things to eat, fun things to do, and your lady (because you don't really bring anything else to the table). So check the Citadines out. It's not only affordable, but it comes with a little kitchen as well. We didn't do much cooking, but having a fridge means you can get yourself some breakfasty things at a nearby grocer and then you're only eating out 6 or 7 meals a day, as opposed to 8 or 9. It's clean and sunny, the shower works and the bed is decently comfortable. There's wi/fi in the lobby and an ethernet cable in the room. It's located in the Marais, which I love. And since the rate is not too bad at all, I'd definitely recommend it. Godspeed.

Horrible experience. The AC was broken during the Paris heatwave and the staff did nothing to resolve it. When we opened the window to try and help the temp in the room. The street noise was terrible. Long time at check in as the one person who was available spent the whole time arguing with another customer. Stay anywhere else.

Lovely place. Makes you feel at home. Friendly. Stayed 13 nights. Good location. Full kitchen

We're staying here with parents and it is fabulous - room is clean and comes with a kitchen, dishwasher and half the price of staying in a real "Hotel" Paris is pretty expensive and the idea of being to able to buy breakfast and dinner at the monoprix and eat in your room is not only fun but is 1/4 of the price. Decent Chablis and Bordeaux are around 6 or 7 Euros - the bread is out of this world - just watch out for the Americans and the unpasteurized cheese. Bastille has great connections for the metro and there is even a Metro - Breguet Sabin that is directly outside the building. The place is clean - free internet in the roo although their wireless is only available in the lobby. If you're thinkingof coming to Paris and staying with close friends or family - I cannot recommend Citadines - and this location highly enough!

I have never stayed somewhere with worse customer service. My toilet was overflowing and when I went down to the desk at 7:30 PM to request help, they told me that they had no maintenance workers on staff. I asked if they had a plunger to clean up myself, and of course they did not have one that I could use. I am currently in a hotel that I payed a substantial amount of money for with no toilet to use. It is ridiculous.

Stayed in Paris for 6 nights with a large group of college students. The front desk was always very helpful and surprisingly not very annoyed with us with our inability to speak French, being extremely loud at late hours, or when asking them to order us pizza at 2 in the morning. The hotel provides umbrellas which is nice because it rained half the days I was in Paris. The hotel is also located next to the metro echo his convenient but if you would rather walk everywhere it's a little slow by foot traffic, about a half hour away from the notre dame and maybe a little more than an hour to the Eiffel Tower

We stayed here recently on a long weekend in Paris after being placed here by Delta Vacations (we spent miles), and for the price, it was great. You should know that for better or worse, it is not a typical aged European hotel - it seems to be relatively new, and it's a very modern-style lobby that I would equate with a Courtyard hotel in the U.S. The rooms are not huge by any means, but they're also a little bigger than you might expect for a budget hotel in Paris. Ours had a bed alcove, room for a TV stand and a large writing desk, a small kitchenette "room", and a fairly large bathroom (again, by cheaper European standards). The staff speak many languages, there's free wired and wireless Internet, and there's an available continental breakfast (though at 12 or 14 Euro, I don't think it's worth it when there are plenty of cafes nearby). Maid service is optional and costs more, which was fine for us - we weren't staying long enough to require fresh linens, and not having to worry about when the maid wants to get in while you're on vacation is kind of freeing. The location is good - it's not terribly near to many classic tourist attractions (unless you count the Opera and the Bastille Place), but the Breguet Sabin metro stop is across the street, and Bastille (a short walk away) connects to even more lines. It's about a 20 minute stroll south to the river and the Latin Quarter, and Ile de la Cite, Notre Dame, etc, would be only another ten minutes or so. A short walk to the northwest is the charming market area of Enfants Rouges, and to the southwest is Les Rosiers - our favorite part of Paris and home to some of the world's best falafel, believe it or not - the Hotel de Ville, and, beyond that, Les Halles. Overall, if you're on a budget yet don't want a dingy closet of a room, I'd strongly recommend this place in Paris.
