About Bastille Hostel
The Bastille Hostel was originally opened in 2007 and having been fully renovated, it offers cheap accommodation in Paris for young travellers within a safe environment where you can enjoy the city and meeting other likeminded international travellers.
With energy saving and eco-friendly lodgings along with air conditioning, free WiFi, a lift for easier access to the dorms or private rooms, plus being disabled friendly, which is unusual for many hostels in Paris, you will also find that you can come and go as you please because there is no curfew.
There are maps of Paris along with numerous other tourist information leaflets and guides, so you can get the most out of your stay in the City of Lights, and the fact that many of the people who work here have been backpackers themselves in the past, they understand your needs and are able to speak different languages.
You will also find that the Bastille Hostel provides a Continental style breakfast, which is included in the price and is served from 7am through to 9:45am daily, plus there is also a common room where you can relax.
Open from 1:30pm through to 11:30pm, in the common room you will find a drinks vending machine along with microwaves, so that you can easily cook a quick meal to save even more money, rather than always eating out in Paris.
Bed linen is also provided within the cost, although you do have to bring your own towel with you, and all rooms must be vacated between the hours of 11am and 3pm for daily cleaning along with any maintenance if needed, plus we would like to point out that the maximum duration of stay is six days.
Accommodation at Bastille Hostel
There are a total of 29 rooms at the Bastille Hostel, which are designed for 1 or 2 people only and you can choose between a private room or a shared room, with each room having air conditioning, a TV, a shower, and electronic safes for your valuable belongings.
Some of the rooms are designed for the disabled, being wheelchair friendly and some also come with a toilet within the room, whereas other are shared facilities with toilets being located on different floors, but not on all floors, so do bear these points in mind when booking.
In addition there are two apartments available for a maximum of three people, which are charged per the room, as are some of the private rooms rather than per bed in a shared dorm, and these apartments called Dandy and Atmosphere have a bathroom with toilet, kitchen, bedroom with a double bed and a lounge that has a sofa bed for the third person.
