It was a great deal and provided clean and reliable accomodations for Paris and was reasonably close to Notre Dame. We really only slept in the room so it was perfect for us but is small than our usualy hotels would be. Great bang for buck! They even had a bottle of complimentary wine 🍷.

This hotel was perfect for my solo trip to Paris. It was a short walk from the Bastille Metro stop (and near other Metro and bus stops). It was not fancy, but comfortable. My bed was comfy, the tall windows opened to let in fresh air, the heat was perfect - and the hotel was totally quiet! It is on a quiet street between two busy streets - and I heard no noise. Not even from fellow guests! The breakfast was adequate - no fresh fruit, but basically fine and very convenient. Staff was great. Everyone I asked help from - I don't speak French - was super nice. Housekeeping was excellent. A bath lover should request a room with a tub. I had a huge soaking tub - like a spa! A real treat at the end of the day. And the room had a fridge and a teakettle - much appreciated. In short, a great choice near the most picturesque streets of the Marais.

Hotel Castex delivered what it promised: a clean comfortable old school French hotel room in a great location at a very reasonable price. Tight quarters but everything we needed, with a window to let in fresh air. It totally met our needs for a three day stay.

We really enjoyed staying at the Castex, especially when they turned on the heat. Staff were fabulous except for 1 man who got extremely angry with me when I accidentally set off the fire alarm- the switch looked exactly like a light switch in the breakfast room and was not labeled! Otherwise we loved it! And location was fabulous!

I was somewhat disappointed in this hotel. The photos were somewhat deceptive & made it look better than it actually was. It was old which I expected & looked forward to the charm it would offer. But as far as cleanliness it wasn’t the best & could use with an overall deep clean. It could also use with a touch up of paint in some areas. The elevator took several pushes of the button to get it to work & when you did land on a floor it was with a jolt.The bed was not what I would consider comfortable. I loved the window that opened to the street & love to sleep with the window open. But,the street was very noisy with loud talking making sleeping a wee bit challenging. My door to my room locked me out twice & wouldn’t open with a card, they had to come up with a key & unlock it from the inside panel - a bit frustrating. The breakfast was OK - although the tea & coffee was dreadful. The dishes especially the glasses felt like they had a film on them - I noticed they were washing them by hand & perhaps it was leaving a residue. Overall it wasn’t exactly what I expected for the price & would not return in the future.

I had booked a room for my parents to stay as I was ready to go out and enjoy the city on our one night in Paris. As soon as the staff saw there was three of us, he immediately became defensive and said there is no way three can stay. I let him know that the reservation was for my parents and I just needed to leave my bag in the room and he vehemently refused. When my father asked if I could sit in the lobby he again vehemently refused. My parents were so shocked at the rudeness and the capacity of the staffs arguing that they refused their stay knowing we would have nowhere to go for the night. They were not able to enjoy the reservation that was booked at Hotel Castex because upon our late arrival due to a delayed flight, they were met with the illest of attitudes we’ve ever experienced in hospitality. The experience has left me with a horrible memory of Paris. Luckily we had a wonderful driver who came back to pick us up and show us around the city before taking us back to the airport while our paid room remains vacant. The driver was also ashamed of our treatment at this establishment. I would never, ever recommend this hotel to anyone with a soul.

The room was so small you had to shuffle around the bed sideways, and if you opened your suitcase on the only section of floor large enough for it you couldn’t open the doors to leave. Probably not an issue for solo travelers but for a 3 star hotel and a family room booking this was insanely small.
