Hotel Lyon Bastille - Paris, France 

Very Average Room
Posted: Sun, Aug 21 2005
We stayed in a double room on top floor and unfortunately the room was definately not worth the price. The wallpaper was peeling off and there was a chipped window. The shower had no curtain and though it was great to have a shower with good water pressure it meant that you couldnt avoid getting water all over the floor. District is also interesting, lots of homeless people around and we heard two fights on the street in the middle of the night but I guess thats what you get staying so close to train station. Very friendly staff and great location to Gare Lyon though.

Nice little hotel

Great little hotel, we loved breakfast. The staff was very helpfull. The area is nice and safe with many inexpensive places to eat around. It has three or four small food markets within walking distance that open late, great for buying water, food and sodas.

cheap and nice!

If you really want to be close to the train station (gare de Lyon) and you want a cheap hotel, Bastille Lyon is an option. I stayed there for three nights on july 2003 and I wished to be able to change hotels. The room was very old, the courtins were falling in pieces and the whole room was depressing. From all the 3 star hotels I stayed in during my visit to Europe, by far I would consider Lyon Bastille as the worse one; maybe if it was a two star hotel and a nightly rate of less than the 100 euros I paid, it would have been fair. If you can afford a better hotel, go for it! Paris deserves it!....

cheap and cheerful!

Stayed in the Lyon Bastille for 2 nights. Very helpful staff. Rooms were basic but spotless. Nice breakfast - crusty loaf, croissants, hot chocolate, cereal, fruit juice etc etc etc. Very reasonably priced through internet sites (as opposed to booking with the hotel directly. Near the Gare du Lyon and the Bastille, handy for brasseries and restaurants too. Nice area of Paris and 2 minutes from metro station.
