Hotel Pavillon Bastille

Very nice hotel, close to Bastille metro stop. It was quiet at night also. The reception people were very good. Especially the girl Mathilda who helped us when my husband got an eye infection and needed to see a doctor. She directed us to a Paris eye hospital close to where the hotel was. I recommend this hotel!

Good location, train 1/2 block away, can reach any city destination easily from here. Good customer service and friendly.

We stayed at Hotel Pavillon Bastille on two separate occasions during our week-long visit to France - three nights at the beginning and two nights at the end. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful and spoke English (good for my husband who does not speak French). The room was tiny, but comfortable, and the air conditioning was a huge plus since we were there during the heat wave. The only thing we didn’t like was the sliding door to the bathroom and the tub/shower that needed a high step to get into. Breakfast was a full continental that included yogurt, cheeses and meats, along with pastries, juices, teas and coffees. Free WiFi was available although sometimes the connection would cut out, but this wasn’t a huge problem.

I found that the night staff receptionists were not friendly. One of them looked at me as if I was not a guest the hotel. But overall I like the area.

Good location for the Opera Bastille and for the metro and buses. Reasonable wifi and a good continental breakfast. The shower (average) was over the bath. There were no drawers in the room and a general lack of storage space - especially if there are 2 of you in the same room.
