We’ve only got one positive about this hotel and that is the staff were very friendly and helpful upon checkin, checkout and when we needed help. They let us store our luggage prior to checking in which was very helpful.
Now... where to begin?! Upon entering the lift, it was evident that only two people could physically fit in there and in a side by side position. The lift doors jam and slam you on the way in and out.
When we entered the room, it was pretty much matching the outside temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. The radiator was broken and the portable heater that had placed in the room did not sufficiently heat up the room. We sat in our coats for 2 hours before anything was done, despite asking twice to have someone check it. When the engineer arrived with a member of staff from the hotel, he told switched on the air on to 29 degrees Celsius and told us not to touch the setting because the wiring was synced with the room next door.
The room was located in the attic on the 6th floor. The bathroom was oMay big enough or dwarves and had a sliding door which was partially broken, with an additional broken extractor meaning we had to air the whole room out after each shower. The soap dispenser was broken, the tap was wobbly and the shower drain was evidently blocked as water kept rising above the step when showering.
There were planned construction works on the 5th floor but we were never informed that these would begin from 9am in the morning right up until 9pm for two consecutive days. On top of that, we were not informed that construction was extended to our floor and the roof. At one point, we opened the door to see where the noise was coming from and were greeted by a huge ladder blocking the doorway - which we’re sure is a health and safety hazard, particularly as it was left unattended and we had to call for help for someone to move it so we could leave our room with our luggage on the last day.
Adding to the abundance of construction noise were rowdy neighbours who we could hear crystal clearly through the paper thin walls.
Avoid at all costs unless you’re happy to deal with these red flags.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent visit at our hotel.
I appreciate the compliments on the staff and the level of service provided. It encourages our team members to work even harder and consistently delight our guests.
You are right, the lift is narrow and we aware about it but a larger cabin may not fit in the staircase.
I certainly apologize for the inconveniences you experienced because of the renovation works. We are hospitality professionals who work diligently to ensure our guests have a pleasant stay. It is certainly not our intent to inconvenience our valued customers. Again we truly regret that we failed to deliver an exemplary performance in this context. We hope you give us a chance in the future to show you how great our hotel is.
It was a convenient location to the gare du nord station and there are bus stops outside the hotel.

It was a convenient location to the gare du nord station and there are bus stops outside the hotel. Good breakfast The room was not too bad and was big enough for 4 people. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your review.
You have covered all aspects of your stay and I am glad you liked our location, our breakfast as well as the family room size. Besides, it is always hugely motivating when one takes the time and trouble to acknowledge the staff.
We hope to welcome you another time in our property.

This hotel is nestled in what one could call a small piece of India. Also it's 5 minutes walk away from the Gare Du Nord which is said to be the world's largest train station outside of Japan. There's a macdonalds and a Burger King in front of the train station. If you need a taxi, no worries as there are plenty of them around. There is an abundance of Indian and local restaurants serving crepes and traditional French food. If you want to take a Bus tour it is right in the vicinity of the bus stop. Rooms are tiny and I was told that the French like everything small. They're clean,most of the staff seems friendly and speak some version of English lol. Be careful not to get someone who is tired or have kids at home to change your linens because they will curse in French and slam your door in your face. You will have to bring your luggage to your own room on a lift that is just big enough to accommodate a small child. Your neighbors are very noisy and the streets are very busy with emergency and public transportation. Overall it is what you pay for.

When you first walk in, reception is very nice with friendly and helpful staff... however when we went to our double room, we were greeted with an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom and a bedroom so small you could barely stand either side of the bed, there was no room to put our suitcases anywhere. We stayed the first two nights there with hardly any sleep, as the wall between our room and the staircase was so thin that we woke up every time someone came up or down the staircase. Also, the safe was broken and twice we had to call reception to open it for us, who just implied that we had forgotten the code. On the third day when the room was still smelly, we asked reception to move us to a different room. The second room was clean, bigger and the bed was more comfortable. I would not recommend this hotel if you have high standards but you can’t criticise it too much because it is pretty cheap for Paris, with a very good location, so you get what you pay for.
