I liked everything about it. The room was quiet, the bed comfy, super well placed, everyone so kind. I was happy that I chose this place.

Friendly and personable staff. Very accommodating. Never made you feel you were an inconvenience, (even if you were out of creamer for a late night cup of decaf). The continental breakfast was generous with scrambled eggs and bacon as well as the usual pastries and cold offerings, but even those were plentiful.

The rooms looked newly renovated with every modern comfort, well-kept and very clean with plenty of hot water, but the rooms with the best views were in the front facing the picturesque Ave. Richard Lenoir, and I’m guessing were prioritized for couples. As a solo traveler, I was given a room overlooking a plain and relatively narrow backstreet directly across from an apartment building, forcing me to keep the curtains closed if I was ever in the room. Would’ve been fine if I was in town for a day or two, but I was there for a week.

The hotel was good, the staff were very nice people, the receptionist from the 1st day was great and was able to let us check-in earlier and to a better room than the one booked. Everything was very clean in the room and the bed was comfortable. Wifi good, the room has a refrigerator also and you can find also tea, coffee and some water. The location is really close to the Oberkampf metro and to several restaurants. There is also a nice cafe at the corner of the building.

I cannot say it was something not known, because you can find this by looking at the location on the map, but the hotel is not close by foot to any of the most turistic atractions for first timers in Paris. You can easily get to them by metro though, so this is good. You can also reach by foot the clubs and bars for some night parties in Bastille.

The concierge was really helpful and friendly and immediately made us feel comfortable upon our arrival in Paris. The room was cleaned every day and every night, after walking around Paris all day, we came home to a made bed and fresh towels which was just lovely. The location is brilliant for travellers who want to spend the day doing more touristy things in the 1st arrondisement and then be closer to the more fun bars in the evening. Overall a great hotel.

Just be aware if you go for the cheapest room it will be a tad on the small side.

We booked Privilege Double Room at 16m2 which is spacious based on Paris hotels standard. Neighbourhood feels safe. Location is great and only about 20 mins walk to Le Marais. Nearest metro station, Oberkampf, is only a few mins walk. Paris is a walkable city and we have been walking to most attractions under the nice winter. Room is pleasant looking, clean and bed is comfortable. Only minus point is probably the toilette door is only able to open partially due to the WC behind it. This may differ for other rooms. Staffs are friendly and helpful, thumbs up ;)! We will stay there again, if room rate is competitive and the hotel keeps up to its standard :). Bonne annee & Merci beaucoup to all the staffs at Hotel Saint Martin Bastille ;)!

This is a warm, welcoming and cute hotel. The staff on reception are always courteous and friendly. We had a slight leak in our bathroom and the owner upgraded us to the only room left without question. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and everything about staying there was really pleasant. The breakfast was exceptional with lots of different choices and food allergies catered for. The neighbourhood is safe with lots going on, great bars and interesting places to eat We chose to eat around the area instead of going back into the busy quarter. When we come back to Paris I will definitely return here. Thank you!

I cannot think of a thing I didn't like.

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay for five nights in late September. A small boutique hotel very close to Oberkampf metro station from which we could get to most areas of the city. The room was adequate size, vey clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was served in a small room downstairs but was varied and tasty. Staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Staff in the breakfast room were fantastic. Big Mamas restaurant across from the hotel was excellent, though it would be wise to book ahead, particularly for weekends.

Only negative was that the area was quiet at nighttime and there was not a great choice of restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

Near Place République the immaculately clean boutique hotel is in an excellent and quiet neighbourhood, with restaurants and bakeries nearby as well as a public market. Access to the metro is two streets away and it connects with other lines very efficiently so that someone visiting can easily see the city sights. Our Privilege room was on the top floor (5th) and had all the amenities one could ask for: ample space for suitcases, wardrobes, mini fridge, Nespresso machine, Netflix (if you came to Paris to watch TV), etc. The bathroom was also spacious for Paris (see photos). The staff is friendly, courteous, and very helpful. The hotel also offers breakfast, but we didn’t partake. I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Paris and we would gladly stay again.

The elevator is tiny and will only fit two suitcases, OR two people, but not both together so you will need to send one suitcase with one person at a time. However, there is an elevator so that’s a plus. Not sure if it is wheelchair accessible given the narrow width (see photo).

It is very close to the metro, which made it easy to get to anywhere. The area itself is quite lovely with a weekend market, restaurants, supermarkets, stores, and café. Despite how busy it can be outside, inside the room it was quiet. There's also an elevator--handy for those with larger luggages. The room is somewhat small and cramp but it is to be expected given the price and standard size of rooms in Paris.

The shower stall can be cramped. This is not really a problem for me because I'm not very tall. But it might be more problematic for taller people.

It is a small but very convenient hotel. The room and bathroom are small (as you would expect in Paris), but everything is clean and works in the room. Lights, TV, accessories, etc. They had maid service everyday, always a nice shot of good expresso or tea. While it is not described in their website, they do have a safety box in the room. Closer to many restaurants and metro stations. Staff is very nice. It is just a well rounded hotel when we just needed a good rest at night.

If you have noisy neighbors you will hear them. But we were fortunate not to have them except for one night.
