Le Patio Bastille — Hotel in Paris

Lovely hotel with two great patio gardens, one of which we had a nice view of.

The rooms were nice, with even a little kitchenette with a sink, a little hot plate, an electric kettle, and some pots and pans, plates, glasses, and cutlery for us to use. There was also an empty mini fridge that we could use, although it sometimes froze the things we put inside it. It also came with some instant coffee (regular and decaf) and tea bags, along with milk and sugar. Comfortable bed. There was a safe but we didn't use it (partially because we didn't really need it, but also because there were no instructions on how to set the code).

The bathroom came with a toilet, sink, and shower/bathtub combo, the water had a tendency to go cold after a relatively short time (for my standards at least); one time I had filled up a bath, but when I wanted to use the shower head to wash my hair the water was ice cold and did not want to heat back up; when I tried to shower the next morning, to wash my hair and body, I got largely through my routine, but when I wanted to rinse out my conditioner from my hair and rinse off shampoo from my body, the water was once again cold. During a later shower, I really tried to use the water sparingly, only turning it on when I needed to wet something or rinse something, and that got me through with warm water all the way, but it's certainly not the relaxed shower experience I expect to have at a hotel.

Sometimes when other guests in the hallway or neighbouring rooms were loud, you could hear them.

The reception desk was always very kind and they spoke English well. The rooms were usually cleaned nicely, although the coffee supplies weren't always refilled properly, and as a result one time we had to call the reception to ask for extra instant coffee; one time, however, the room was not cleaned but the coffee was refilled, and the "please clean the room" sign we had hanged on our door was on the ground, not quite sure what happened there; perhaps the cleaning and refilling of supplies was done by different people and after refilling the sign fell?

We didn't use the hotel's breakfast most days, instead we went to a boulangerie-patisserie just across and ~120m down the road for croissants and other vinnoiseries, baguettes, pastries, and savoury baked treats, as well as some machine coffee. Along with that we got some things at a local supermarket (even closer to the hotel on the same side of the road as the hotel, also down the street). We then often went up the road to Place de Nation to sit in the park and eat our breakfast there, from where we could then catch a metro or RER (sort of between a metro and a train) to whatever we had planned for that day. Only on Sunday did we use the hotel's breakfast because the boulangerie-patisserie was closed, and it was also the final day of our stay when we needed to check out and be at the Gare du Nord train station in time to catch our Eurostar train. The hotel's breakfast buffet was convenient, but in terms of quality nothing compared to our breakfasts on the other days, whilst way more expensive (€14 per adult), so I would highly recommend not paying for the hotel's breakfast and instead going to the boulangerie-patisserie and supermarket, or some other place to get a nice breakfast (and eat it in a park or in one of the hotel's patio's if the place you get your breakfast doesn't have seating) unless you need the hotel breakfast for convenience (such as on a travel day).

Close to the hotel there are several metro stations, an RER station, and bus stops, so it's very easy to get around by public transport from the hotel. The street the hotel was on wasn't particularly nice looking, but there were some nice...

Stayed for 3 nights. Most horrible experience. As being an event plannerni travel quite often and staying at all types of hotels and resorts

Location - near 2 metro stations. Eaay access to attractions but it will take almost an hour train ride to get there.

Hotel: it needs a LOT of work. The floors, walls, stairs, walkways, carpets (yuck) it would be a great hotel if the owners put in some $$ and work to it. Yes there is an elevator. But not acceble to all rooms. From Lobby, you do have to walk down stairs to go to your rooms. We had reservation for a twin room for my nieces (2 adults) and last minute I joined them and requested a larger room. Hotel offered a junior suite ans charged us double because one more person was added. The room was big enough with 2 bath rooms. BUT it was filled with mold. Mold on the walls, mold on sheets, mold vents, mold on chairs. They offered to move our room. Same issue. Another room was on the 2nd floor where you take a narrow spiral staircase. With my heavy bags, i didnt think it was a good idea. As it was late, they didn't have Housekeeping available, i offered to clean the vents because I knew I make not wake up next morning as I am allergic to mold. After waiting about 30 minutes they brought vinegar and some kind of spray and a towl. After cleaning the entire room, i was able to fall asleep for an hour. And coughed the entire night. (The towel was black when I was done cleaning). Next day after several requests they said they will leave a smell removal machine. We were gone all day but came back to the room smelled like vinegar. With very little sleep and coughing all night, next day we just left and hoped they would use the machine again. Nope.. they brought the very noisy machine in the evening, but them I was ready to pack up and leave. Even though my flight was not until very late in the afternoon. I had to get out of there so early in the morning. Please stay away from room 32. Staff: Lee was very patient and sympathetic. It didn't worth what we paid for. No apology, no follow up.. I will not recommend this place unless the owners put some work on this property. None of the pictures on the website is the real version of the...

Our recent stay at Le Bastille Pateo was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in a quiet corner just steps away from the city’s bustle, this charming hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re a couple traveling on a budget but still craving comfort, character, and a touch of independence, this is the place for you.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Marié at the front desk, whose professionalism and kind demeanor immediately set the tone for our stay. She, along with her attentive team, was always available to assist with a smile offering local tips, directions, and even helping us navigate a few tricky restaurant reservations. Their hospitality never felt forced; rather, it felt like we were being looked after by friends who genuinely cared.

My wife and I had an “executive” room… clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with everything a traveler could need. One of our favorite features was the mini kitchenette, a compact yet fully functional space that allowed us to prepare light meals and feel more at home. It’s an underrated luxury when traveling, especially for longer stays or relaxed evenings in. The bed was comfortable, the linens crisp, and despite being budget-friendly, the room never felt cheap or lacking in quality.

The atmosphere of the hotel strikes a lovely balance: it’s calm and private, yet still connected to the energy of the surrounding neighborhood. Whether you’re heading out for a full day of exploring or winding down after a long afternoon, Le Bastille Pateo offers a peaceful retreat that never feels too far from the action.

We’re already looking ahead to our next visit hoping to return during the off-season, when the crowds thin and the city takes on a more local, intimate rhythm. Without a doubt, Le Bastille Pateo will be our first choice again.

Thank you, Marié and the entire team, for a wonderful stay. Your warmth made our trip feel that much...
