Where it stands

Hôtel HOR Les Lumières is at 39 rue Jean-Pierre-Timbaud, in the 11th arrondissement, in the Oberkampf district of our Bastille / Oberkampf area. If the arrondissement system is new to you, the 11th lies east of the Marais, and the 75011 postcode is the quickest way to recognise it. The hotel places itself between République and the canal. Our file describes it as a 3-star classified by Atout France, the national hotel-rating body, on 25 January 2022, with 41 rooms. It is an independent hotel, with no chain behind it.

Rooms and services

The record is short and we keep to it. The rooms are air-conditioned, the reception is open 24 hours a day and breakfast is a buffet, all according to the hotel’s own website. We did not find a restaurant, bar, spa or pool, and the accessibility page the hotel publishes was not read, so we make no claim about step-free rooms. Anyone who needs those should ask the hotel directly.

Metro, and how long to the big sights

Three stations are within a short walk: Parmentier (line 3) at 250 metres, Oberkampf (lines 5 and 9) and Goncourt (line 11) at about 500 metres each. All four lines (3, 5, 9 and 11) also serve République.

Our travel-time reference for the area is a point on rue Oberkampf. The point is 410 m from the hotel. From there the Louvre pyramid is 26.5 minutes by metro, Notre-Dame 25 and the Eiffel Tower 41.5; that last route takes line 9 from Saint-Ambroise to Iéna, and does not use République, where line 8 does not stop from 22 July 2026 to April 2027 because of works. Arriving from the airports, Orly is about 48.5 minutes and Charles de Gaulle terminal 1 about 55. The trade-off, on our area data: Wikipedia describes dense nightlife and restaurants nearby, while major monuments are few within walking distance and the Eiffel Tower is 41.5 minutes away.

Against the other hotels of the area

This list holds nine hotels for Bastille / Oberkampf. Among its three-stars, Hôtel HOR Les Lumières is the largest after Hôtel Exquis (42 rooms, against 41 here) and well above Hôtel Daval (23). Hôtel Fabric, a four-star of 33 rooms in the same Oberkampf district, offers more facilities, including a fitness room; the five-stars Maison Breguet and Boutet Bastille MGallery both have pools. What this hotel adds is location on the Oberkampf side of the district and air conditioning, which the nearby Hôtel Exquis does not list.
