My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff were really lovely and helpful. The location is conveniently located near tourist places, and a Macdonalds is near by which is always a plus. The room was spacious and clean. I’m very happy with our stay.

Great location to subway stations!
This hotel is in a great location and I think they’re trying to do some minor upgrades. The lobby is very nice, the room was ok, it would have been nice to control the heat/ coolness in our room though. The temp was down as low as it could go and it was still too warm. However it was clean and comfortable, some more upgrades are needed besides paint to really spruce it up but it was decent for a couple nights

Friendly staff, comfy beds. Quiet area at night. Rooms need quiet door closers and a bit of a refresh/paint.
Breakfast was ok when we went very early, but today at 0900 there were no tables so we had to go elsewhere and purchase breakfast.
Very convenient for the Gare du Nord/Gare de l’est.

The room was quite basic but very clean and beds and pillows were comfortable.
Whilst the hotel itself was not the best I’ve stayed in, the staff were superb, friendly, helpful and do hardworking.
The guy on reception from Guadalupe was lovely as was Madame who catered for our every need at breakfast. Lovely breakfast.

Great value for money
Great value for money hotel for friends in Paris. Loved the snacks/pastries in the Hungry Corner and was in a great location, just a 3 minute walk from Gare du l'est and 8 mins from Gare du Nord
