Citadines Bastille Marais Paris

The apartment was in an excellent position, close to a big local market which operated Thursday and Sunday. Lovely produce. Two metros close by as well as Bastille metro. However we walked as much as we could and could reach most places walking on an average of 11-12 kilometres a day. The apartment was comfortable but several things needed attention. The staff were very helpful and pleasant.Good grocery store close by.

The location near the Bastille was great. Lot's of stores, restaurants and public transportation nearby. We took the 69 bus to many of the big sights (Eiffel Tower, Lourve etc.) and you can walk to the Musee Picasso. We also liked the kitchenette. It had everything needed to cook breakfast and some pretty elaborate dinners. The kitchen is well equipped with good quality skillets and pots and all of the cooking utensils you are used to at home. We traveled in November and the price of the studio unit was below $200 per night which is a good value.

Location was great. Shops, restaurants, takeaways across the road with a lively atmosphere. Metros 5 min walk. Huge market Thursdays and weekends across the road. Free coffee, tea etc. in the lobby. Umbrellas also provided. For longer stays room is good with little kitchenette. Yes, as everyone says it does need some refurbishment as getting a little old and tired. However, if you want new be prepared to pay for it as Paris can be very expensive!

Staff was very friendly and available all day. They upgraded our room to a balcony overlooking the park and gave us a tin of cookies. The room was spacious and clean upon arrival. The beds were comfortable. They supplied clean towels from the front reception whenever requested. There is a wonderful outdoor market in the park across the street on Thursdays and Sundays.

The apartment was clean and comfortable, the shower was really good. The metro stop is very close and you can easily find the way to any destination in the city, but you need to make sure you have enough time as the main attraction are not close.
