Good price We booked this hotel based on our budget for the weekend and from the reviews of hotels at this price point, and for what we paid we were happy with our stay. We would return, although we would do somethings differently. We booked a superior room, this was compact but comfortable. Importantly it was very clean and the beds were very comfortable - two important boxes ticked. In the room there was tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer, a safe you can hire, and the shower powerful with plenty hot water - everything you need really. I didn’t see the standard rooms but I would book a superior room again if I returned. The hotel provided ear plugs but I didn’t find the noise too bad, during the night was fine but in the morning you could hear the trains but you’re in a city after all - there’s always noise. I knew about the security deposit/block beforehand so I was prepared for this. All of the staff working at the hotel were very nice, one evening they even let us borrow an umbrella for the rain. The only thing which isn’t great about the hotel is the area which it in. It’s a good location for the train station from the airport and there are two metro stations nearby so that’s good. Metro is cheap at €2:15 per single journey, so easy and cheap to get around. Walking around nearby during the day was fine, however when we arrived at midnight and had to walk from the train station it didn’t feel safe (two ladies). When we went out on the Saturday night we got the metro to the Bastille area, but when coming home we opted for a taxi to drop off at the door rather than another midnight walk (this was only €15). If returning this is what I’d do differently, the train from the airport was around €24 for two of us, where we then had the 10/15 mins walk, an uber back to the airport was €34 - so next time I’d get an Uber to the door. So essentially use taxis late at night otherwise location good for transport links and during the day.

“One night was fine.”

Location is close to Gare du Nord and Gare d'l'est . However it is in an area where I would not wander around at night . The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Location is close to Gare du Nord and Gare d'l'est . However it is in an area where I would not wander around at night . The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was OK, not a big hot selection but I was happy enough. We stayed in a superior room ,which was clean and tidy. Towels were a bit small. Perfect for a one night stay. You can hear the trains going by but they did supply ear plugs. Hubby slept through it!!

“Would definitely stay here again!”

We stayed for 3 nights. Our bed was super comfortable, we slept like babies! Our room overlooked the railway line, but we didn’t mind that at all, in fact we rather liked it. So much life outside our window and lovely to see all the twinkling lights at night time. Quite charming. The staff, from th… more

We stayed for 3 nights. Our bed was super comfortable, we slept like babies! Our room overlooked the railway line, but we didn’t mind that at all, in fact we rather liked it. So much life outside our window and lovely to see all the twinkling lights at night time. Quite charming. The staff, from the breakfast chefs to the reception were all lovely, friendly and polite throughout our stay. The £100 hold on our card was released quickly (within 24 hours of us leaving). The location was excellent - within minutes walk to the nearest Metro stations and the Gare du Nord. The kettle and drinks facilities were really very welcome and the safe was appreciated too. Some suggestions for improving the visitor stay. The hot breakfast selection could be extended to include baked beans and maybe some bacon! The honesty bar really isn’t true to its name. We had to get someone to unlock the fridge so that we could have a couple of beers. This takes away the convenience and demonstrates a lack of trust. I would say that anyone with children should opt for a room on a lower floor, as the windows and balcony’s could be a safety hazard. All in all a great stay and we would not hesitate to return!

“Useful for Short Stays”

Our flight was cancelled at short notice so had to find somewhere to stay for the evening. The hotel is conveniently located very close to the main train station and the staff were very friendly and helpful during our short stay. This is suitable for anyone visiting the city for a short time.
