Hôtel Castex

We absolutely loved Hotel Castex. It's close to 2 different metro stops and at least 1 bus stop for easy getting around. There are a bunch of food places close by as well. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The room was neat and had a lot of character.

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!

Charming, Vintage Hotel in the heart of Le Marais. Conveniently located in walking distance to shops, restaurants, museums, churches and Victor Hugo's House on Place de Vosges. |A lovely welcoming bottle of wine and friendly service. Walk around the corner for Cafe and Pan Chocolate for breakfast or go directly across the street to Thai Orchidee's beautiful atmosphere and delicious food for dinner.

Oh boy. Let me start by saying, if you are considering staying here, I’d strongly suggest staying somewhere else in the neighborhood. Before booking this place, I read other negative reviews and figured “how bad could it be?”. Man should I have heeded the warnings of others. The rooms have a dirty feel to them and desperately need a facelift. We left for the day and came back around 2pm and found some guy in our room fixing some of the bathroom tiles. Like dude y’all couldn’t wait to do that until the room wasn’t occupied. We booked a taxi to the airport through the hotel for when we left. I asked them every day leading up to it “do yall still have this taxi booked on this day and time?” Each time they say yes they still have it booked. Then finally on the day that we leave, I ask them one more time and they say they have nothing booked. I mean bruh. At least we weren’t leaving until another 6 hours so another taxi could be booked. Should’ve gotten an uber instead so we didn’t have them go through the hotel for this service. In the evening when we would go back to the hotel for the night, our card to get into the building often wouldn’t work and the person at the desk wasn’t there for some reason so we would just have to stand outside at night and wait for them to come back. Other guests also had this problem so it wasn’t just a one off type deal where we maybe had a random defective key card. Finally a few days after we check out and left Paris, my girlfriend sees a transaction on her credit card for a $500 AirBnB gift card. This card was left back in our room all day, everyday, and was stowed away in her back pack. Firstly, if you are going to steal someone’s card info, use it on something that isn’t obviously a fraudulent transaction. Got some real masterminds over there. She was able to indicate to the financial institution that that transaction was not her and cancelled that credit card. I just know someone in that ratty ass hotel had something to do with it. The guy fixing the bathroom tiles, the maid, someone there went through our stuff and found the credit card. I suppose that’s why the safes should always be used, but the thought of some slimy human going through our stuff makes my skin crawl. To anyone still reading at this point, I cannot stress enough, just stay somewhere else. There’s dozens of hotels in the area, pay a little more and get a slightly nicer place where the staff isn’t a bunch of incompetent thieves. Just a very bad experience. Would’ve rather stayed at a Motel 6 than this place.

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.

No hotel is cheap in Paris but Castex Hotel was reasonably priced and is located in an extremely good position. It's right next to Bastille Metro, just 1 stop from Gare de Lyon and BVD Henri IV runs directly thru to Ile St Louis, an easy 15 minutes stroll. The concierge was extremely helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was both extensive and delicious. I'd stay there again tomorrow!

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!

I would not recommend staying here. The room was so tiny I had to walk sideways to get to the other side of the bed. There were black scrape marks on the wall where people had dragged their luggage to get past the bed. The bathroom was ancient and the shower head was coming out. The amenities were spartan. The complementary breakfast was regrettable. After viewing it we ate elsewhere. The air conditioning was not cool enough for the August heat. The location was very good.|Rick Steves was way off on this one.

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.
