We chose this hotel because it was close to Gard du Nord, where the thalys trains arrive. In just a few minutes you're in the hotel. Staff was very friendly and spoke french, english and spanish. The room was very small, but comfortable, decent bathroom, flatscreen tv, big bed. There is the possibility to make tea. The hotel breakfast was... more

I know this hotel was cheaper than most hotels in Paris but we only stayed here for 1 night because we had an early flight out of CDG the next morning. This is the only hotel I stayed in in France and Italy where I actually didn't want to shower because it looked so dirty. Other reviewers are right. This... more

I booked this hotel as we like to stay close to Gare du Nord for the great transport links. Although the area itself isn't particularly salubrious, it has everything you could need - local shops plus you can walk down to the Seine in about 25 mins. Both train stations are within a few minutes walk which is the main... more

We stayed here twice in July/August. Why? Location. Used it as a stop over after arriving at Paris Nord Via Eurostar and again on the return trip. What's so good about the location? Simply it's a 5 minute walk to either Paris Nord or Paris Est. Tres handy. (Stop being a wanker) The neighbourhood felt safe enough but it's not... more

We selected Hotel Appia after reading TripAdvisor reviews of hotels closer to Gare du Nord station, but the other choices were not good value or as clean accommodations. Comfortable en-suite room on 5th floor (with elevator), not too small as all 8 pieces of large luggage fit with no problem. Our rate was stay 3 nights and get the 4th... more

The room we stayed in was a standard room which was quite small, but nicely decorated in neutral colours with nice bright orange bedding which gave... more

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights from Thurs 23/7/09. I saw a mouse in my room No. 501 on the night of Friday 24/7/2009 and informed the reception the following morning. I was advised that they could only get a pest controller to come in on Monday. I also showed the receptionist the mosquito’s bites on several areas... more

This hotels only faults as far as I was concerned was the lack of concern at the Fire alarm which woke us up at 1 30 am on our first night on phoning thr front desk very worried and asking if we should evacuate - the reply was " that he could not smell any smoke" fifteen minutes later it... more

For us it was just everything we needed. Nice breakfast, clean rooms, quiet, at a walking distance from Gare du Nord. Very nice. more
