"Excellent for overnight stay."

Conveniently located near Gard du Nord (and de l`Est). Courteous service. Clean and well appointed room. Good value for price without compromise on basic standards.

Situated in an easily accessable part of Paris, near metro stations. Very clean, tidy, good for breakfast and very friendly staff . I will look to stay there again.

Very small room and on suite. Lift was more like a vertical coffin than a lift. On the bright side the staff were helpful.

"Rooms refurbished but other areas like lifts common area and stairs "

The rooms were clean comfortable and had new bathroom fittings but not sure how they will last as seem quite cheaply installed. Breakfast was OK but basic and coffee from a machine Reception very efficient and friendly but general common areas in the second Hotel were not very clean and very old Area is probably not the best but overall good value for Central Paris

"Really really bad"

We, able bodied folk, were put in a disabled room that had a musty carpet and no windows. Musty carpets an no windows is no way to treat the disabled. When we demanded better rooms we found out there were much more acceptable rooms on the higher floors. Meaning the management`s first instinct was not great service but to rip us off.

"Very nice room"

The area is a bit busy, reminded me of Whitechapel but it is to be expected close to a major train station. Transport from the Hotel to central Paris is good, a few connections but you get there soon. Pleasantly surprised by the room.

"Small bathroom, dark corridors, generally dilapidated."

Although well situated being 5 mins walk from Gard du Nord and 2 mins from Metro and 15 mins walk to Sacre Couer, the hotel generally has a run down appearance. Room was small with even smaller bathroom but bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast available in very warm cellar and a little pricey at 10 euros for continental style. Not particularly cheap at £80 per night for room only.

"good base for paris visit"

rooms on the small side, booked a doube but is was more a single with a double bed, however it was kept clean and tidy every day. breakfast was more than adequate and the staff were very helpful and cheerful. very handy location for gare du nord train station and the metro. one word of warning for paris in general ITS VERY EXPENSIVE.

"Great if you ONLY want a base close to Metro. V Clean inside. Grotty location, but safe-ish"

We just wanted somewhere to sleep, shower and plot our days and nights. It`s good for that. Room was very small but functional, shower and toilet a bit cramped (with a curtain for a door) but everything was clean. Bed comfortable and all bedding clean and changed regularly. Didn`t do the 10-Euro breakfasts. Much better value elsewhere (though ideally a metro ride away). Staff friendly. Good English spoken at the desk. Narrow nature of the building meant it could suddenly be very crowded. There are about 20-25 rooms, so there are lots of people there. The lift is great - only big enough for two people and a small suitcase. 150 kg limit. Hold your breath in if you`ve had a big meal. Overall, I booked it online because it was the cheapest half-way decent looking one close to the station where we`d arrive. I knew the area itself wasn`t exactly a tourist attraction.

"Good Hotel and friendly staff"

A good location for a long weekend close to Metro station which allows good transit to all areas of Paris we bought a 3 day pass for 25 euros. It is also close to Garde de North railway station for direct link to airport. The hotel was clean and modern furnishing ,the area surrounding the hotel is very much an Indian community it may look daunting but we found the people friendly.

"Service with a beaming smile :)))"

I stayed there for one night and the hotel staff the lady and the man were nothing short of fantastic . A comedy double act the radiated charm and warmth . They provided a lovely room and even though the bathroom had a small leak that I foolishly forgot to mention the next , that did not make me view this hotel any differently . The location was ideal but the staff were exceptional . One mention to the lovely man who sold us the boat tickets , thank you so much for your wonderful service. All on all lovely people that I met as strangers and ended as friends . See you soon :)

"The staff are incompetent"

Not only was my room not ready at 2pm, but when I got back from work at about 10pm, it still had not been cleaned. I had specifically said that I would be happy to stay in the room if they could guarantee that it would be clean on my return. The staff had no idea where anything was and were busy having private conversations or on the phone...

Very clean, comfortable and quiet; breakfast perfectly adequate but small room underground - charming or poky depending on your point of view; very friendly day receptionist; very noisy heating system that probably only affected my room - mentioned this to receptionist; well situated near Gare du Nord; small supermarket close by; excellent for transport network.

"Clean, friendly staff & functional, but with some minor issues"

From the outside the hotel looks a total dump, but once we were handed the entry card to the room & we were in the room we felt more at ease. Although basic, the room was very clean & quite comfortable. Two things need immediate attention: the toilet brush holder was missing & needs replacing, as does the missing door handle of the sliding door from the room to the bathroom/toilet. Overall we`d recommend the place for a short stay.

"7 out of 10 for what we paid."

Room was clean and staff polite and helpfull with reasonable english. Thought some English channels on tv would improve the stay if only news as after a long walking day it helps to relax and catch up for an hour before retiring and maybe smarten up the outside a little. We found it a good base for looking around paris and enjoyed our stay so if we return we would consider booking the hotel Faubourg (put some english chanels on tv please).
