We booked two nights at the end of September at the MB after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. We can only agree with the rest - it was an excellent choice for a special stay in Paris (25th anniversary). The location is very good with much of our time spent walking back to the hotel after taking the metro out in the morning. Breakfast was fantastic with good quality fare for all tastes. The staff were very helpfull and the 'gallery setup' gives the hotel that 'different' feel. If you are looking for big stuffed sofas in reception this is not the hotel for you but if you want clean and comfortable rooms with all mod cons then you won't find a better place for the money I'm sure. The area is fine and with the Gare de Lyon only 5 mins walk there are countless travel connections both in and out of Paris. Room 301 is large so go for that if you can.

I visited Paris with my girlfriend on my birthday weekend in August, and the hotel made the weekend even better than expected. We'd looked through loads of different hotels but this looked fantastic, and didn't disappoint when we arrived. A short walk from the Bastille metro station, and the river, and takes about less than half an hour to get from the hotel upon checkout to Gare du Nord pass customs!

The staff were really polite and helpful, it was perfectly done out, although the rooms were a little small. If possible try and go for one of the "deluxe" rooms, which I assume are bigger.

Overall though, top hotel that we'll definitely be visiting again

First off the staff here is wonderful and will do whatever they can to make your stay a pleasurable one! Someone has already mentioned this but it bears repeating, the whole lobby is infused with this wonderful scent which so nice to come 'home' to!
The rooms are a bit small for N American standards but your not in NA you're in Paris and for Paris the room is a very good size! The rooms and the hotel in general are kept very clean and the bathrooms are great! A friend and I stayed here for 4 days at the end of Aug. it is very close to the Bastille metro which is a great metro stop to be at! The area itself is not *that* great but the hotel makes up for it! I would go back.

My boyfriend and I wanted to go to Paris for his Birthday and spent forever looking up hotels, searching for something that was affordable, but classy. Le Marceau Bastille was just right - it is a 5 minute walk from Bastille Metro station and the room (although a little small) was clean and very nicely decorated. The front desk/reception area was also spotless, with very sophisticated decor. Each and every member of the staff were very polite and so very helpful. The breakfast was AMAZING! Everything you could want for was there! Very tasty! i can't recommend this hotel highly enough - we had a fantastic long weekend and the hotel made it that bit more special. We really were very impressed with the hotel and will definitely be staying there again!
