Our room was always smelling like stale Tobacco smoke. Everytime we went into our room it smelt like someone had been smoking in it. It was foul. Yuck! We had to move the chair everytime we wanted to use the bathroom, because it was in the way of the door. There was no other place for it as the door... More

I was with my wife and 2 kids and we got communicating rooms, which were very convenient and comfortable. Beds were in particular good. The rooms were a bit dated, but clean. Service staff was extremely kind and friendly. Location is very good with Notre Dame and Centre Pompidou in walking distance and good metro service. A very good chance... More

This small hotel is located a bit off to the side but within easy walking distance to the best of Paris, and near a good Metro stop. I chose this hotel because I was traveling with my 21 year-old who would be staying on a few days after my departure and did not want to spring for a more luxurious... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Perfectly located for bars/restaurants and metro. Lots of places to get breakfast. Near the market. The rooms do let it down. I chose this hotel as I like small privately owned, authentic boutique hotels but the rooms are a little too dated, basic and lack the feel of holiday bliss.

We stayed in the Castex for three nights (€150 per night) - no complaints. Breakfast also good. Convenient location. One note (money missing, money stolen?) for future travellers. I left €200 in the room safe - this was gone when we checked out. I cannot explain this satisfactorily (I'm sure I didn't lose it but who would have opened the... More

This is my first bad review of a hotel on Trip Advisor but I had to warn other visitors to Paris. Please do not stay here. My double room is 175 euros per night and for that you have a very tired looking, small room, with no character, a soft bed and the worst noise. As I write I would... More

Castex Hotel is a very fine no frills but very well appointed hotel right in the middle of the Marais district just steps from the Bastille Metro, a pleasant walk to Notre Dame and right around the corner of a blvd. with shops selling all kinds of delightful foods. If you like small, friendly, clean, centrally located hotels with decent... More

Good hotel, single rooms are a little small but good value for the money. Excellent location near to metro station. Very friendly staff. I stayed there for a week, everyday the room service was excellent. I didn't have breakfast but if you have the Rick Stevens guide they are for free.
