As a millennial and a "valued" Marriott Titanium Elite member, this hotel designed for my age group is distasteful and this particular hotel does not value the safety of its guests. The Moxy brand as a whole promotes a no consequences atmosphere throughout the entire space. Put a cot in the lobby and you'll think you're sleeping in a night club. On top of that, the horrid communal ironing room was scary and disgusting. As if that weren't enough, three days in a row my hotel room door was left open after my room was serviced by housekeeping. As a lone female business traveler, I was immediately concerned for me and potentially other guests. After raising concerns with the reception desk each day, returning home and emailing not only the hotel managers, but also Marriott, you may be interested to know that I still have yet to be officially apologized to by the hotel and Marriott's weak attempts at making amends for serious safety concerns after one month of correspondence leads me to write this review. I do not recommend staying here for the brand itself and at this location because of the complete disregard for my safety as a lone female traveler. read more

We stayed here for a week and had two rooms. The location is good. Walking distance to the bastille and a local farmer's market. Check-in was easy enough. We were earlier than expected, and they gave us the option to wait until two rooms next to each other opened up, or give us rooms on different floors. At check-in, you are offered a welcome drink with or without alcohol. The hotel seemed to be nearly full. The ground floor is a bustle of co-working spaces and tables, antique record players, albums, pool toys, art, roller skates, and motivational sayings. It's a good place to work and hang out, and in this location, there is an outdoor patio and a large bar. During evenings, they serve drinks here and flatbreads. During mornings, they serve breakfast. There is a nice casual relaxed vibe here. The rooms are the opposite - small, crowded, undecorated, and very minimal. You will not find a telephone in your room, nor a closet. There are no room safes, and just hangers and a basic rack for clothing. The bathrooms are equally small, and the shower, in particular, will flood almost the entire floor no matter how careful you are. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, but there's just not a lot of "there" there. The hallways also deserve particular note for their dark decor and musty smell. The elevators didn't work one evening during our stay. Overall, the service and the staff working were fantastic. The ground floor deserves kudos for the unique decorating scheme and both a fun and very open floor plan. However, I would not stay here again, just based upon the room layout. read more

If you are looking for a youth hostel, this is your spot. Horrendous check in process with a very aloof staff. They were more interested in entertaining each other than paying attention to the guests. Cleanliness was not great either - the carpets were sticky and gross. Location was good and easily accessible. read more

Very conveniently located. Easy to get to via metro with only a block walk from the station and easy walk to the Seine and central tourist spots like Notre Dame. Lots of local places to eat and food markets for essentials. Hotel is clean and bed was large compared to many European hotels. Check in and check out was smooth. I definitely recommend for a short stay in Paris. read more

We stayed here for 6 nights on points, so we couldn't beat the price. We didn't plan to spend much time in the hotel-just wanted clean, secure and hot water. Moxy had the first two, but getting hot water for a shower was a crap shoot, which was irritating. The staff was slow and not very helpful. The room was clean and small, as expected. There are 3 cbubbies underneath the bed for storage which worked out nicely. Hotel was extremely close to metro Breguet-Sabin, and chermin-vert, which made travel to all the sites very easy. Would stay here again, but hope they fix the water issue. read more

This is probably the worst hotel experience I've had with a Marriott hotel. We checked in and left some personal belongings in the room for less than two hours and when we came back our stuff was gone. Apparently the room had to be cleaned during that time which is strange since we had literally just checked in. We asked the front desk attendants about this and both were not helpful in resolving the issue. I think it was unacceptable of them to tell us to just e-mail their manager to ask for points... I want my stuff back, or offer me compensation for what was missing, not points. We asked the manager to move us to a different Marriott hotel, but ultimately left ASAP and made a new reservation at a different Marriott. The hotel itself looks cool and trendy, but the rooms are very small and dirty l, and then who knows how many people are coming through your room while you are out. We had another staff member come in and "clean" while we were asking where our stuff had gone. It was uncomfortable not knowing how many people were actually coming in and out of the room. The staff was very nonchalant about everything and showed no sense of urgency to try to help us. UPDATE: still two weeks later and no response from the manager Anika. read more

It was a cute hotel, but not responsive if you accidentally left something behind. I could not find my glasses and was wondering whether I had left them behind. I called. They told me to email. I then emailed, but never heard from them read more

My wife and I came to stay for 3 days. The staff is amazing. There are two Alex's and both answered questions and helped us find the best place to eat and get around town. Lucas in the morning made sure we were set for the day at breakfast. Inside the city, located near many subway stations. We felt very comfortable at the hotel. read more

Okay, so I checked in today. The guest service agent that checked me in was super nice! When you check in, you get a free welcome drink. The lobby is funky and cool and there is a pretty nice courtyard. Only problem is most people are smoking in the courtyard so if you aren't a smoker, this isn't the place for you. Moxy Paris is a mix between Melrose Place and Motel 6. My room (129) is one facing the courtyard on the first floor. When I open the door of my room, I am outside. There is a window that faces the courtyard, but it isn't very pleasing and as a woman, I don't feel safe just leaving the curtain open, so now I feel all cooped up. The room is definitely not for business people. I am here for business so this is definitely going to be a problem. It's more for those looking for something just a tad bit better than a hostel. It's a room, with a bed and a private bath. That's it. The room was mostly clean except for the hair all over the toilet. Gross! Also, there is a problem with the AC. I turned it on to cool and turned it all the way down as low as it could go and it is still very warm in my room. I would call the front desk, but there aren't phones in the room. I would use the app to chat with the front desk, but they don't respond to that feature. I took a shower and the water never got hot. It only stayed warm. There isn't an iron and ironing board in the room. I supposed I can call the front desk and ask for one. Oooh, I forgot, there isn't a phone in the room. No safe, which can be a problem for international travelers that want to leave important documents in a safe place. No fridge in the room. Basically, a bed, a chair, a tv and 4 hangers (no closet). Overall, this place is for the budget traveler that isn't use the amenities for a regular hotel and doesn't need ac or hot water. Lucky for me, I'm here for 6 nights. Ughhh. Update: After two nights in my hot box, I was able to move to a room facing the street. I could open the windows to let more air in and the room had a/c! It was smaller than the first room, but it had a/c! I was in a happy place. It took a lot of fussing with the front desk to get my room changed which didn't make me happy at all. They kept telling me someone would come and fix the a/c in my first room, but they never did. Oh the new room also had hot water! I mean, really hot! Don't use the chat feature in the app as they NEVER answer. Most times I would pass the front desk and the staff were sitting down watching their phones. Oh for several days the front door wouldn't work. You have to stand in exactly the right spot and then wave your hands for it to open most times. The neighborhood was very good. There is a grocery store across the street and two metro stations nearby. There are plenty of really good places to eat nearby and just a short walk to Bastille with even more restaurants. It was a $49 Uber ride from CDG airport. So eventually. So overall, take your chances with this place. It seems like it's a bit of a chance on a good room or not. read more

Ok so the location is great but we are a bit dissappointed in this marriott property. When we checked in to our first roomI (top floor with a great little patio) we noticed that the wall had some extensive water damage and the carpet was SOAKED... We took a towel and covered the area that was wet and after some thought, realized that we should have to do that. Both of us had wet socks and the room was a bit musty from the carpet being saturated and then noticed that the door out to the patio would not lock. I decided to go down to the front desk to see about other rooms available. We got a different person this time and when I told him what we found he offered to drop off an additional towel and have someone come check on the lock and that they were all sold out of rooms for our stay... I don't think he quite got the point. We left and continued on with our day... When we returned, we both took off our shoes and ended up with wet socks again. I went back down to the front desk and got the original guy who checked us in. I told him that it was unacceptable and that we shouldn't have to put towels on the floor to try and soak up the water. He apologized and offered us a larger room on the floor down. It was great! Much more space, a larger patio and dry carpets. In talking with others in the hotel, it appears that they have a major issue with water and wet carpets and the hotel kinda smelled like a big fart. Luckily our room was great, served its purpose, was in a great neighborhood and was close to the Metro station. This hotel is def not for everyone and after staying at numerous Moxy locations, this one gives that brand a bad name. Get it together people, take pride in your property and invest in your property! read more

If you're looking for a fancy hostel, this is your place. I hated pretty much everything about this place including the most uncomfortable hotel bed I've ever slept on (and I'm a lifetime platinum at Marriott). Service was mixed, at times average and other times rude. I couldn't take it and checked out early and switched to another hotel. The only reason I didn't give this hotel one star is that I think college kids who have parents paying for their trip would probably find this place a lot of fun. Everybody else should look elsewhere. read more

Ya know...I think this place has its pros and cons. Pros: location right near the metro and Le Marais, relatively cost effective, swanky lounge with 24 hr bar area. Cons: many of the rooms (because we were moved twice) had this wet rug situation where there was clearly a leaking problem, the walls are pretty thin and there isn't an in-room ironing setup. Thankfully we landed in a balcony room which was large and really made up for the inconvenience of moving. Given the cost and location, I wouldn't not stay here again, just perhaps look for some better options. read more

Great for the price!!! This was my first time staying at a moxy and overall I was quite impressed with my stay. The staff were very accommodating. For example when I asked for a room upgrade I was told that there weren't any available but to come back the next day. I did that and was moved to a suite with a wrap around balcony. The bartenders were very friendly and knew how to make a good drink! My only complaint is that for an "affordable luxury" hotel, the drink prices were a bit high. None the less, I would highly recommend checking this place out if you want to stay in a great area without spending too much money. read more

The Moxy Paris Bastille was in a great location and provided a perfect atmosphere for a bunch of USA soccer fans for the 2019 Women's World Cup. However, the rooms are exceptionally small, even for Paris, and our AC did not work. We complained about the AC twice and received a very small fan after the second complaint. We had no AC for the 11 days that we were there. This was fine when the weather was mild and we could leave the window open. The negative of leaving the window open is that we were above the courtyard where people smoke, and the smoke would come straight in our room. It frequently got to 90 deg F outside and the room was quite hot. read more

Do yourself a favor and keep looking. This hotel is absolutely awful. Small rooms, no toiletries, no telephones and just 2 pillows in each room. When we stayed we had the pleasure of experiencing the terrible fire alarm that went off at 2am for about 20 mins. All the guests evacuated to find out it was a false alarm. After reading other reviews, it looks as though this is a regular occurrence. Stay away. read more

No air conditioning. No hand soap in bathroom. Shampoo dispenser did not work. Carpets are tired. Rooms are small. On the upside the staff were incredibly friendly, and the downstairs bar area was fun. Was just uncomfortable in our room. read more

Definitely a budget hotel. The rooms are very small, no closet or desk (well, there's a tiny piece of wood that folds down). Basically, it's a crash pad with a private bathroom. But! The rooms were clean and quiet. The location is great- close to the metro and the Bastille district and Marais district, both of which we enjoyed exploring. The lounge area downstairs is large, if you're up for hanging out with a group. They do serve a breakfast (for an additional charge), which we didn't try. All depends on what you're looking for, but for a few nights and a reasonable rate in a cool area, it worked for us. read more

Much better than some of the reviews. Staff was friendly and spoke English. We got a free drink when we arrived and we felt like we were in a decent US hotel. It was much better than the older small hotels in the neighborhood. read more

Let's start with the positives, the location is great and the room was clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the room is tiny!!! I can't even lay my suitcase down on floor without having to step over it and the mattresses are so hard my back was killing me when I woke up. No closet/wardrobe for the clothes. There is also no phone in the room so if you need anything like an extra pillow you have to go to the lobby to ask for it. I've never been in a hotel without a phone and I have traveled all over the world. I would not stay here again for those reasons. read more

Moxy Paris Bastille is one of the funnest hotels I've stayed at. The lobby has a great vibe with lots of comfy seating options, there is a well put together internet pod area for working, and the bar is worth hanging out at just by itself. There's a cool outdoor patio area, great for chilling out and for kids to run around. We stayed there a Friday night and there was a huge group sitting in the lobby with bottles of wine, cheese and munchies they got at the Franprix right across the street. The rooms are efficient, and the staff are young, laid back and definitely not in the corporate style (think hoodies and man buns). Location is pretty good for Eastern Paris, you can get downtown via metro or Uber in a reasonable time. Room rates were decent when I booked but they do vary depending on season etc. Highly recommended if you're looking for a chill time in the city of lights! read more

This place has it all: fantastic service and the staff are all so helpful and friendly! Huge variety for breakfast, great drinks at the bar, and super fun lobby with games and cool seating. Many little grocery shops near, as well as little local bars and restaurants. read more

Beware! The rooms here do not have telephone, fridge, clothing iron, coffee maker . If you are gold or platinum in Marriott and if you have been loyal to marriott because they will give an upgrade just forget it . We also have honorary diamond elite status with intercontinental and few days we stayed there at the holiday inn in elysses and they gave us a fantastic large room for the same price as this dorm hotel. The rooms are so small and they refuse to give an upgrade . Then why in the world are we even being loyal to Marriott ! We could have paid $100 less to any airbnb and gotten a living room and bedroom and even balcony! Its a total shame to call this even Marriott! We couldn't even put our suitcases without stepping on them . We have better respect with our intercontinental status than our Marriott status . Just worse or same as most tiny European hotels . The reason why we even stay in Marriott hotels is that the rooms are better than dorms . Big mistake!! read more

Everything about this hotel is great; excellent customer service, clean rooms and very modern decor. The only thing that sucks are the beds, it's like sleeping on a cot and it's been one of the most uncomfortable nights I've had on a bed in a very long time. read more

Will never stay at a Moxy hotel again. It was our engagement trip and after spending 9 days in a very luxurious property in Provence, we decided to save $$$ and stay at the Moxy for two nights before flying to Portugal. The first room was the size of a closet, and the bathroom covered with mildew. Disgusting! Luckily the guy at the desk explained they were sold out (standard and general response when guests complains) however, moved us to a larger room. The second room reeked of nasty bathroom/sewer smell. I tried to turn on the AC to see if that would help but it kept blowing out hot air. I asked for spray but the desk staff told me they didn't have any, so ended spraying my perfume. When I complained about the AC, the desk staff said all the rooms have same heat set to a certain temp because of the temp outside, it's winter. I was like, Huh? I don't get it.The room was spacious, yes, but it smelled like a bathroom at a dingy club! I was so grossed out, both my fiancé and I slept on the top of our covers. This hotel reminded me of a Motel 6. It's not the staffs fault but definitely a Marriott let down! The toilet is also right across from the bed, awkward, so I can hear my fiancé go to the bathroom, right across the side I slept on. Weird. They don't even have a mini bar or refrigerator in the room, or a phone in the room, complementary bottle water, or luggage assistance and check in. The location of the hotel is also sketch, but great for bar hopping if you're into that scene! But I did love was the Muk brand shampoo and conditioner! I also don't understand the concept of this hotel brand. Stay away at all costs. This hotel is not worth $$$. Lucky I was on a discounted rate but still it's so disappointing because I've been such a big fan of Starwood/Marriott for nearly 20 years. I complained about the issue and they told me the supervisor will get back to me. I said hmm ok. Not going to make a fuss because what can't they do anyway. Had a flight to catch early the following day. The hotel is dingy and smells like a sewer. Will never stay here again. read more

This hotel was perfect!! It was a great hotel to come back to after a full day of hitting all of Paris's hot spots. The rooms are a bit small but comfy beds and pillows. Very, very clean and lots of hot water for shower. All important to me. Delicious coffee and breakfast offered for a fee but worth it. Also, conveniently located to small grocery store and lots of small cafes and restaurants. Perfect for our 3 day trip to Paris. They also held our luggage so we could shop for gifts before heading back to the states. Definitely recommend read more

This is a budget hotel ($200~ per night in Paris) located right next to a metro. Sure, the rooms may be small and simple, but that is what I expected of a business hotel. My room was clean and I didn't have any trouble. You can find simple grocery stores nearby to get your fresh juice/water and visit the bastille market on Sunday. The employees at the front desk are friendly and speaks good English. The welcome drink was nasty and I had to pour it down the drain. Overall, I would stay here again, but if you are looking for Parisian charm, this ain't it. read more

Vibe is over-the-top friendly hip: selfies posted everywhere, pseudo-sexy signage. Rooms are very small -- no closet or bureau -- but clean. Service at the bar was atrocious. We were virtually the only patrons, and the two servers ignored us completely, focusing on rearranging the bar stock three feet away. read more
