“Excellent choice Great location.”

Location was excellent 5 minutes from The train/Metro Gare de Lyon station, was going in all directions easy to go to Disney or Versailles with no need to change.About 70 euro taxi from CDG Airport. Took 30 minutes by Taxi . Supermarket across the road.Lots of places to eat near by.Not noisy or crowded. Small negative was that even though we had asked at booking to have adjacent room for the children they gave us on floor 1 and 3. but was OK. They would not give us points on Holiday Inn privilege card as said due to booking on Expedia we were not entitled which was absurd. No change of bed sheets on last day. No soap on a few days. But in general Excellent.4 Star.

“Great Hotel:”

As of mid-Sept 2009 the lobby/dining area renovations were coming to a close. Very helpful staff, no language barrier, willing to go out of their way for the guests. Good location with Gare de Lyon station right next door. If you like the night life in the Latin/Germaine quarters then the Bastille District is not going to meet your expectations. Lots of restaurants and bars near the Opera House but nothing like the Latin. The rooms were recently upgraded, large and modern; not your typical French hotel room. Nice, clean place, I will stay there again on my next buiness trip.

“A terrific center of operations for our visit”

We had two days in between other obligations in France. The location of this hotel was unusually convenient, due to its proximity to the Gare de Lyon, with its shops and nearby restaurants. We found the hotel within covenient walking distance (not close but in Paris, walking for 20 minutes seems to be nothing) of the places we wanted to see, such as the Ile de la Cite (Notre Dame, Sainte Chappelle) which were accessible, while the neighborhood was quiet enough to let us get over our jet lag.

“Nice, big room!”

The lobby was being renovated, but although I arrived at noon, my room was ready to occupy. It was one of the largest rooms I've ever slept in in Paris, with a gorgeous view of the boulevard and way over to the right, the Gare de Lyon. Superb location for getting to the airport. Don't bother with the breakfast...Just go to one of the many cafes nearby. Don't let the large sex shop located right next to the Holiday Inn dissuade you!

“très bien placé”

très bien placé entre la gare de lyon et opéra Bastille. idéal pour une soirée. par chance j'ai eu une chambre sur l'arrière, donc très silencieuse. arrrivé à 11h00 du matin on m'a tout de suite donné l'accès à ma chambre, ce que j'ai apprécié pour me reposer avant d'aller déjeuner. au final je recommande cet hotel

“A wel located hotel in an area with good amenities”

The Holiday Inn Bastille is a comfortable, clean hotel located within minutes of the Gare du Lyon and all transport links (Metro [including particularly Line 1 which directly shadows the curves of The Seine to serve Notre Dame, The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower links], RER, taxis and buses), but without sufering from the hyper-activity of such a convenient location. The surrounding area is peppered with a good mix of eateries (avoid Vesuvio - expensive, poor fare), and the hotel has a neighbouring internet cafe, pharmacy and couple of mini-supermarkets. The hotel is in good order, although Room 501 suffers from quite noisy plumbing in the bathroom, but it's not excesively disrupting. The hotel has two lifts (not just the 2 man one other respondents identified) which are slow but adequate. Paris, as of September 2010, still has the gold ring scam, chase-the-lady scam and fare dodging locals forcing their way through the Metro gates by 'spooning' tourists going through the gates, as well as many East European and African beggars and tat-sellers The Eiffel Tower was very crowded and had long queues to reach various stages, but definitely worth the effort. Tourist tip. When ordering champagne in the local cafes, ask them to bring the bottle to the table to pour. We had a pricey glass which tasted just like cheaper sparkling white wine, but couldn't prove we'd been duped.

“Very good hotel”

The room was big and comfortable. The en suite was finished to a high standard and the hotel was well placed for getting about Paris, being very close to Gard de Lyon Train Station, and a 10 minute walk from the Jardin de Plantanes which was the nearest Batobus (water bus) station.

“Better than expected”

Friendly staff, nice rooms for price. Hotel was undergoing construction so had to wait sometimes for 1 available lift. Good location to Metro and train station

“Does exactly what it says on the tin.”

An excellent stay - it's not the ritz but it's not the Ritz price. Staff quietly efficient but always ready to help. We were given very good rooms overlooking the street -lots of Parisien comings and goings. Only slight grumble was the breakfast which although reasonable quality was a bit dear at 16 Euros. Would definitely stay there again- good location for getting around and an 'easy' hotel to use.
