Hôtel Castex

I recently stayed at Hôtel Castex, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring every detail of my stay was taken care of. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Location-wise, the hotel is perfectly situated, close to key attractions yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. Overall, the hotel provided an exceptional experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, friendly, and excellent service. I will definitely be returning on my next visit!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Castex Hotel in Paris, and it exceeded all my expectations! The hotel's charming atmosphere, elegant decor, and impeccable service made my stay truly unforgettable. The rooms were cozy, clean, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, within walking distance to many iconic landmarks and metro stations. The staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to help, providing excellent recommendations for restaurants, museums, and other attractions. Overall, I highly recommend the Castex Hotel to anyone looking for a quintessential Parisian experience. Its unique blend of charm, comfort, and convenience makes it an ideal choice for couples, solo travelers, and families alike.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, with clean and straightforward rooms, cozy beds, and welcoming staff. The rates were reasonable, and as a group with multiple rooms, we were very pleased. It was an excellent choice for our 10-night stay!

On the good side: 1. Ideally located, close to metro with line 1 connecting to the major landmarks 2. Friendly and helpful staff (both in the reception and cleaning) 3. The complimentary bottle of wine is a great touch 🍷 4. Old school feeling and silence. I had a pleasure of having no screaming kids running around disturbing my stay. For this alone the hotel deserves a few more stars. 5. Good prices per stay 6. Freshly baked buns delivered for the breakfast each morning On the bad side 1. Rooms could be checked more in depth for cleaning. I rubbed my fingers against someone's old lipstick under the table. 2. The breakfast could be more variated with the addition of some fresh fruit and veg.

Terrible receptionist that was less than hospitable and extremely unfriendly and accommodating. Room was the size of a closet. We spent 2 weeks in France and this was the worst place we stayed. We were supposed to stay there again on our return to Paris to catch out flight and canceled it. They refused us a different pillow and were very disrespectful. Do not stay here. There are so many more delightful places. I found this in the Travel France book.

The hotel is in a great, quiet location and is close to the Bastille Metro Station. The rooms are very quaint with exposed beams and good sized bathrooms. There is a lift; it is slow and noisy (so ask for a room that is not close to the elevator shaft.) It has character and is very cute. Breakfast is an add on but there wasn't a huge choice (although it was sufficient.)

Hotel Castex was a fine place to stay. The location (close to the Bastille train station) was great and there were a number of restaurants, bistro's, cafes, and stores around. The room itself was small but fine as a "home base". The breakfast was okay, good enough, but the space was a bit cramped. Front desk staff were kind.

Very clean, friendly and helpful staff, near metro and center of activities. Comfortable beds, reasonable price. We will visit again when in Paris. 5/5

No stars. I booked a flight and stay (Hotel) from 7/1424 to 7/21/24 at the Hotel Castex . On 7/16/24 I found a bedbug on my pillow. I called to get a cancellation or be given another room from a different hotel, and the Expedia' s operator said that it was last minute and I couldn't get a refund. I wanted just to get a different hotel. I am not sure why I should have my reservation canceled without knowing what my refund will be ?

I regret to say that my recent stay at Hotel Castex was marred by an absolutely appalling incident. As a guest who values safety and respect, I never imagined I would become a victim of physical assault during what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway. The incident started around 9:45 am on June 14th 2024, with a conversation about checking out of the hotel happened. Your staff member quickly became aggressive, and tried to trap me inside the hotel by manually closing the sliding doors to lock me inside. Fearing for my safety, I escaped onto the street, while your staff member followed me and grabbed my suitcase while I pleaded and cried for him to stop. These actions resulted in me falling to the pavement. I have scratches and small bruises on my arm from the fall. this included pushing and shoving, all while hurling insults and accusations. I have paid for the balance of the hotel room but I am concerned about the well-being of other guests at your hotel while he in a staff member. I believe it is important for you to be aware of this incident and to take appropriate action to address the behavior of the staff member involved. It is unfathomable that a hospitality establishment, which prides itself on customer service, could allow such behavior from its management. I felt violated, disrespected, and utterly unsafe during my stay. This experience has left me traumatized and reluctant to ever return or recommend this hotel to anyone.

One look at my room at the Castex Hôtel and all I could do was laugh at the two sad little twin beds, slightly sunken in at the middle (which would squeak when I turned over in the night - glad I didn't attempt anything more exuberant upon them.) My room was up one dark flight of stairs which lead to a landing upon which there were several doors. Behind one of those doors and down a similarly dark hallway was my room. After a couple of ins and outs I discovered the light switches in the hallway (unfortunately, they do not immediately announce themselves when you're searching in the dark.) There's old and charming and then there's just old (and kind of dusty.) Sadly, my accommodations at the Castex fall squarely into the latter category. I found my room fairly dumpy and definitely did not look forward to returning to it after a series of long days. The staff were friendly, which I appreciated. But the final nail in the coffin for the Castex was when they declined my card upon check out. This same card worked both before and after their attempted charge. This took extra time to sort out and I feared I'd miss my train as a result. I wouldn't recommend the Castex Hôtel to friends and it's not a place to which I'd consider returning.

Superior location: good and clean rooms and a warm and welcoming host. Excellent for the couple looking to explore Paris at an affordable cost.

In Paris, in the Maree. A block away from the Bastille. Good location. Not too far from the Louvre and Notre Dame. Room layout kinda funky due to the layout of the old school building. Nice breakfast.

Very sweet little hotel in the perfect location. I stayed in one of the small single rooms - perfect for someone traveling alone. The hotel is a two minute walk from the bastille metro station and near a lot of cute cafes and bakeries and beautiful old streets. The room was simple but very clean and the staff was very kind.

I only stayed one night here because I had arrived one day earlier then my family and needed a place to stay becuase we always rent an apartment. I've been to Paris many times although I hadn't stayed in the Maris. This trip I decided I would! The staff was very welcoming. My room wasa lovely typical French accomdations except the bed took up the majority of the space. Can't really complain about having a bed that's too large, but it didn't give you much room to walk around it. C'est la vie! The continental breaksfast was more then delightful but it was the dining space that blew me away. It was a lovely space located in the basement. Although there was a chill in the air, it felt warm and inviting. I could have spent the whole day there reading a great book while drinking cafe! But alas! I'm in Paris so why stay in?! There are two Metro's nearby. A Monprix is also close. Lla post located on the same street as the hotel. People might think there isn't much located close by. Well, they are sorely wrong. Besides the Bastille, of course, there is the Square de Louis XIII, Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise, Mairie de Paris, the ile Saint Louis and the Jardine de Plantas which has the most delightfully enchated zoo I've ever seen! This is just scratching the surface. The Maris is enchanting as well. In all it's a sweet hotel in a great location.
