Kimkim's Take

Pros
  • You'll be in the fashionable Marais district, just steps from the Bastille Metro Station and historic Place des Vosges, and you'll have easy access to art, culture, and shopping.
  • Bastille Spéria offers contemporary decor with cozy sitting areas and a breakfast room with natural light through a glass roof.
  • The rooms are cozy, done up in shades of cream, brown, and taupe with blue or raspberry-pink accents, and some have accessible options.
Cons
  • The highly-rated breakfast buffet incurs an additional charge.
  • Some rooms may feel a bit tight, yet they remain well-appointed and comfortable.

Authenticity

Bastille Spéria is a contemporary property whose best feature is its location in the historic Marais neighborhood, one of Paris' oldest districts with narrow streets and medieval architecture.

Location

You'll find Hotel Bastille Spéria in the lively Marais district, perfectly situated between the Place de la Bastille and the Place des Vosges, a 5-minute walk. This prime location allows you to immerse yourself in the art and culture of the neighborhood, with the Opéra Bastille and various trendy shops and restaurants a stone's throw away. The hotel is a 2-minute walk to Bastille Metro, making it easy to explore Paris beyond the Marais. However, it's a 30-minute walk to iconic sites like the Louvre and 15 minutes to reach picturesque Pont Marie crossing the Seine River.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms at Hotel Bastille Spéria are contemporary, and while a little tight in space, past kimkim travelers have said they're a stitch more spacious than most other Parisian properties. Decorated in shades of brown and taupe with blue or raspberry-pink feature walls, rooms have standard amenities with tiled bathrooms. You can choose from Solo, Classic, Deluxe, or Connecting Rooms, the latter accommodating up to four guests.

Amenities

The hotel features two charming lounge areas where you can relax, read, or enjoy a conversation. The breakfast room, with its glass roof, offers a highly-praised buffet breakfast (not included in the room rate). 

Family-Friendliness

Hotel Bastille Spéria doesn't offer much in the way of family-friendly amenities. However, for families with 3-4 members, you can book a Connecting Room, and request a cot (if available), for infants and toddlers.

We only had one night here, but the hotel is beautiful, the rooms are a little tight, but well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was so good though! The staff was really friendly and helpful. Read more

close to metro, close to Place de Vosges and shopping. Were excited to stay in a different area than we had before...not our favorite, and will likely choose something close to Rue Cler/Eiffel Tower next trip.
