This is a nice hotel located in a small street but close to major boulevards, Metro, and restaurants. It is within easy walking distance to major attractions. We walked to the Seine River a few times. The small street across Bonne Nouvelle Blvd (Rue Poissomiere) will become a pedestrian only and lined with many restaurants. We had the Deluxe king with 2 bathrooms so it is spacious. The room are clean with enough amenities and good bath products. The staff are nice, both front desk and in the breakfast restaurant. I was able to communicate with the staff ahead of arrival to arrange private pick up at Gare du Nord. We only enjoyed once but the afternoon tea was a nice touch. The most important thing is my wife and daughter enjoyed the hotel. It got their approval. Tip: Metro line 8,9 and 4 can be access with stations on Bonne Nouvelle Blvd.

This hotel located on a quiet non descriptive kind of road, only 5 mins walk from Bonne Nouvelle Metro and 10 mins from the Metro of Strasbourg St Denis. There are 6 floors, serviced by two lifts (elevators) one is a classic old fashioned metal cage type with swing door which runs up through the centre of the building, the other is a modern style enclosed model. Rooms are quite well equipped with flat screen TV, fridge, kettle and coffee machine, hair dryer also provided. There was air conditioning in the room which seemed fairly effective. We didn’t eat here in the evening but breakfast was included in our room price, and this was served in the restaurant which is very pleasant with a high pitched glass roof. There was a very good variety of breakfast available with all sorts of fresh pastries, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cereals & breads. There was also a hot selection with scrambled eggs, veal sausage, baked beans, potatoes & bacon, although this wasn’t always kept very hot. Just be aware that at the time of this review (May 2024) that the building directly opposite was under renovation, and our room at the front overlooked this, which felt a bit intrusive with workers on scaffolding etc, also there was some early morning noise. There’s a good selection of cafes and brasseries nearby, some with late afternoon ‘happy hour’ offers, I think this was available between 4-7pm also there’s some convenience shops which sell snacks, soft drinks, beers, wines and toiletries etc. On checking out we were hit by an unexpected charge for ‘taxe de séjour’ or tourist tax, (about 60 Euros for a 4 night stay) apparently this tax wasn’t included in the booking price, we were under the impression that our package was fully inclusive, so depending on which platform you are using to book any hotel in France, it’s worth checking if the tourist tax is included in the price to avoid a surprise when checking out.
