DIESE HOTEL BASTILLE, Paris

The 11th arrondissement is one of Paris's most dynamic areas, filled with bistros, bars, boutiques, and bakeries. Charonne metro station (line 9) is just 150 metres away, providing direct access to Opéra, République, and connections to almost all other lines at Nation (including RER A for Disneyland Paris in ~45 minutes). The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Place de la Bastille and the Opéra Bastille, and about 850 metres from Père Lachaise cemetery. The surrounding streets (rue de la Roquette, rue de Lappe) are lively with restaurants, including Cyril Lignac's Chardenoux and many affordable eateries. A Carrefour supermarket, pharmacy, and several bakeries are within a 1-minute walk. The area feels safe and is well-served by public transport, making car use unnecessary for most stays. Those arriving by car should note the very limited hotel parking and use the nearby public parking at 121 avenue Ledru Rollin.

Rooms range from compact 11 m2 singles to spacious 20.4 m2 rooms with king-size beds or twin beds and a sofa bed. Some rooms have two bathrooms, ideal for families or groups. Standard double/twin rooms are approximately 12-14 m2; comfort and superior rooms are larger (13-15 m2) and many offer garden or street views. A romantic room option includes a welcome tray with champagne and macaroons. All rooms feature parquet flooring, a tea/coffee courtesy tray, safe, hairdryer, and a column fan. The hotel does not have air conditioning, but fans are provided. Double glazing helps reduce street noise, though rooms facing the rue de Charonne can still be audible at night. Rooms on the garden side are quieter. The superior and triple rooms can accommodate an extra bed for a child. Housekeeping is daily, and towels and linens are refreshed regularly.

The breakfast buffet includes bread, pastries (baked on site), cereals, yogurt, fruit salad, cold meats, cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, mini pancakes, cakes, jams, honey, spreads, and hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino). Breakfast can be taken in your room on request. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but the 11th arrondissement offers an exceptional variety of dining within a 5-minute walk - from bistros like Le Chardenoux and crêperies to bars and international cuisine. The hotel team can advise on nearby eating places and also provide room service.

The garden is a quiet green space where you can enjoy a drink in fine weather. There is no spa, gym, or swimming pool, but a municipal pool is located nearby. The neighbourhood itself is a key leisure feature, with the lively rue de la Roquette and rue de Lappe offering many bars, restaurants, and nightlife. Père Lachaise cemetery, Place de la Bastille, and the Marais are all within walking distance. Board games are available from reception.

The hotel offers 24-hour reception in French, English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Luggage storage is free, and a lift serves all floors. There is a business corner near the reception desk. Safety deposit boxes are available in rooms (big enough for a laptop). Pets are allowed on request for a €10/day supplement. A small microwave is available in the lobby, and fridges are located at reception for guest use. For cyclists, bicycle storage is available. Laundry is not on-site, but a laundromat is located next door. Express check-in/check-out is offered. There is no airport shuttle service - the metro provides the most efficient connection from both CDG and Orly airports.
