to get started.

I liked the location of the property being within steps of the train station not to mention very close to nightlife/ monuments and other sights.

Very clean, updated property, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I especially liked the large beautiful bathroom.

Michael, United States of America

This is a fantastic small hotel just steps from the exit of the Gare de Nord (new wing where Starbucks is located). Ambience, great. Staff, could not have been nicer.

John, Canada

Rooms are very small and although quoted as a four star it is a bit too pricey for Hat you get. For that money breakfast should be for free...

Everything is very good , just one point , i think room keeping must change water bottle and coffee stuff in the room everyday , i bought the water where they must give free bottle daily because room keeping forget to put it to me. The rest is good . I like it and i will get back ti this hotel in the future. Thanks

Nice bathroom and shower, competent friendly staff.

Arthur, United States of America

We really liked the hotel, everyone was very friendly and extremely helpful. The room was clean and adequate, bathroom was a good size, also had a towel drying rack which was perfect. A two-minute walk to the metro lines, RER, Buses and Trams. Taxicabs were always available if needed. Went everyday to the market around the corner for my yogurt and fruit. The room was quiet couldn’t hear the traffic outside or people talking in the next room. My husband and I stayed there for two weeks, it was a perfect location as far as getting around.

Joan, United States of America

Staff was so welcoming it’s a pleasure to arrive. We originally booked it because of its location across from the Gare du Nord but it was its charm that made us return a couple of months later. This is a busy area (in a good way) with lots of restaurants and cafes. And the bed was divine after a day of tromping around Paris

Very few English channels on TV (and from those some not working...), the design is pretty but sometimes not very practical (no night stands, really heavy and hard to move shower head, etc). But all in all, these are details.
The location is perfect! Less than 3 mins from Gare du Nord and yet the room was quiet. Really friendly staff, everything brand new and quite nice concept with making rooms look like train compartments. Really appreciated kettle in the room, proper reusable cups & glass water bottle.

My double room did not have a bath as pictured. There were no ceiling lights in the bedroom so the room was very dim.
Great location just moments from the Gare du Nord. Very good value, interior decor was smart and bed was comfortable. Bedroom and bathroom were both very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

“An oasis in a rather dirty and crowded area ideal for rail travellers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The surrounding area was more reminiscent of downtown Cairo or Delhi than a supposedly prestigious world city with literally rivers of urine (and worse) running down the cluttered garbage-strewn pavements.
The hotel was 100m or so from the front of Gare du Nord, so perfect for late/early train connections. Room was everything you could want for an overnight stop but you wouldn't want to linger in this area for any longer. The bed was very comfortable, and bathroom wonderful with a great shower. TV huge and lots of USB and mains sockets for gadgets. It's filthy, noisy and crowded outside, but the room was so well insulated you wouldn't know. The hotel addresses the needs of train travellers perfectly.

Can’t complain about anything but if I had to pick something, rooms were small but that’s just me being picky. Not a thing a didn’t like, everything was spot on. Nice halal restaurants close by and station for metro and trains only 1 minute walk if that
Location of the hotel was close to restaurants and bakery that provided halal food. Hotel was very clean and tidy. Also being 1 minute from the station itself was a bonus. Can’t comment on food in hotel as mostly being out and exploring Paris. The Hotel staff always friendly and helpful, assisted us when we needed anything.
