Hotel was a quick walk from Gare du Nord. The building looks very nice. The front desk staff was very kind and nothing was too much trouble. However, did not like having to leave my room key at the desk.
The maid service was the weak spot - my bed was made sloppily when I arrived in, but the bed was comfortable.
Condition wise, drain plugs in tub and sink were broken and did not allow proper drainage. Also in the loo, fixture for sanitary napkins had fallen off the wall and was not put back up.
Breakfast was good. Lots of variety.
Downside for location, The hotel is next to a hostel and a bar which was loud at night, but did calm down early enough for sleep.
The upside for the location, the hotel is in between Gare de l’est and Gare du Nord. This was perfect to get anywhere you want in Paris quickly.
Good value.
