Very close to Gare du Nord we just walked to it after getting off Eurostar train from London . We had two rooms one for our daughter’s family and the other for ourselves. Our daughter’s room was spacious and well appointed . Our room was a little tight and access from the elevator to our room was slightly challenging with bags but room and bathroom were clean . The bed was comfortable and the shower was great.
Please do not be daunted by a spartan and dimly lit reception , the rooms would provide a comfortable stay.
