Great hotel for price. Proximity to Metro and sites was excellent. Highly recommend.

This was the first time I stayed at the Castex. The location is great, and the rooms are very nice. The air conditioner was not working all that great when I got there, but they fixed it and it was nice. My room was very quiet, though it did not face the street. Also, they have a computer in the lobby with internet access that any guests may use. That was great.

my only complaint is regarding the overall cleanliness of the bathroom... while it appeared that all the surfaces were clean, there was a musty/mildew-y smell that permeated the room. (i think it was the fabric shower curtain)

we enjoyed our time at the Castex. We love the location and especially starting our day off walking through ile st louis. The staff was very professional and we felt very welcome.

My sister and I spent two nights at the Castex. We were absolutely delighted with the ambiance, the service, and the location. We speak very little French but the staff spoke English well enough that communication was not a problem and the staff were very warm and kind to us. The room was a good size for two people. Although the bed and furnishings were typical for a lower cost european hotel, the bahroom was well above average. The hotel is an easy walk from the subway and well situated for walking around the Marais, walking to Notre Dame and even to the Louvre and D'Orsay if you don't mind a 45 minute walk taking in the lovely sights of Paris. Stay at the Castex!

The most important thing is the position, 200m from line 1 of metrò(bastille) is very quickly to rich the best place of the city. Near to "marais" where there are a lot of retaurant and similar( high quality of food-right price).

We visit Paris at least once a year, and had been recommended the Castex on several occasions. We have tried on previous trips to reserve this hotel to no avail, as it was always full. It compares extremely well with other hotels that we have stayed in, in both the 4th and 5th arrondisments. The location is perfect, with ready metro access to most areas of interest, and there is no shortage of decent restaurants and bars in the area. Our needs are simple, so we do not usually test the staff in the hotels that we visit to the limits, but the staff in Castex seem very friendly and efficient. Our room, while well appointed, was a little small, but in our experience, this is quite normal in Central Paris, where most hotels have been established in converted buildings. We don't reckon that the room size is a problems for most Europeans, who are used to this type of inner city accomodation. We would happily recommend this hotel.

Our room was very small, even for European standards. 1st floor with window to the street was quite noisy. Location is very good, close to the Seine, Le Marais, Bastille. Very friendly staff.

We stayed at Hotel Castex for a short sight-seeing break. It proved to be the perfect choice of hotel for us. Our room was clean, comfortable and quite and, although smaller than most others we've stayed in, was large enough. The hotel's location near the Metro station at Bastille makes it an ideal base for quick and easy travelling around Paris. Many of the sights are also within walking distance. We consider our stay to have been exceptionally good value and can therefore readily recommend the Hotel Castex.

Very quite, simple and cleaned. Notre dame zone is better to visit all city, I recommend to you this hotel for "bed only", if you want to visit the city.
