Hôtel de France Gare de Lyon Bastille

I want to recommend the Hotel de France warmly. The location is perfect you are a maximum of 30 minutes away from all famous destinations (Eiffel Tower, Louvre etc.). On average it is a 20 minutes ride. In the area are great restaurants in walk distance so you do not need to take the bus or metro to go eat something. The neighborhood is in general extraordinary, we loved simply walking around. The rooms are beautiful and clean. Tip: try the boulangerie across the street!

We came as an adult family of 5 staying in a triple and double comfort rooms. The hotel stay at checking were so friendly. The Hotel was immaculate from the reception to dining area, rooms and hallways. The rooms themselves whilst slightly smaller than normal were very modern, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The fridge was an added bonus! The beds were really comfortable and all the bedding was very clean and of great quality. We had breakfast one morning during our stay at €14 per person. A varied continental breakfast was provided that included scrambled eggs. Everything was really tasty. The location was great. Very close to the Metro and just a short walk to the Bastille area. The restaurants close by were excellent too although booking at weekends would be recommended.

Super clean room! Great facilities considering the limited available space in Paris. Friendly staff! Recommended!

All aspects were as expected EXCEPT the bathroom stank of sewage. There was no indication of the source of smell, I can only suggest a drain trap dried out. The smell was so bad I could only use the bathroom with my breath held. I should have notified staff when I first arrived, but it was very late, I had an early morning connection and I didn’t need to shower and the smell was contained with bathroom door closed. I reported the smell at checkout, maybe I would have been given a different room if I were staying longer? Unsure. I do not understand how the room could have been prepared in this state. Visually the room appeared very clean, but the bathroom smell was overwhelming.

Very good value hotel in excellent location close to Gare du Lyon / La Bastille, offering clean, bright and well equipped but small accommodation. Efficient and pleasant staff. Ideal for a short stay. Located on a principal route but no bother from noise

This hotel is situated in a sketchy neighbourhood. Be aware of drug ******* and dangerous individuals, especially at night. The hotel is very noisy, the windows being super thin. Despite what the hotel tells you, there is no triple glazing, you'll be able to see it by yourself if you stay there. The breakfast is pretty poor, nothing fresh. Definitely wouldn't recommend.
