Platforms
Hoche has a standard platform configuration: it has two side platforms separated by the two tracks under an elliptical vault. It has white and rounded lighting bands in the Gaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s and white bevelled ceramic tiles cover the walls, vault, tunnel exits and outlets of the corridors. The platforms are equipped with benches made of slats. Its advertising frame is made up of brown faience in a simple geometric pattern and the letter M surmounted on it, a feature only found in seven other stations on the network.
For more than ten years until 2018, the name of the station on the walls of the platforms were written in Parisine font on thin plates, covering the original names that were made of faience. As with Filles du Calvaire on line 8 and Porte des Lilas on line 11, they were removed and the faience signs were restored.
Other connections
The station is also served by lines 151, 170, 330, and the P'tit Bus of the RATP Bus Network, and at night, by lines N13, N41, and N45 of the Noctilien network.
