We were travelling through Paris - into the Gare du Nord and next morning out from the Gare du l'Est so this hotel is a convenient place to stay - easy walking distance to both stations. We were expecting a scruffy station hotel - but this is so much more. Nice period design and spotlessly clean. Even though our room overlooked the station forecourt, once the balcony windows were closed we could hardly hear a thing. Check in staff were friendly and informative. The coffee for breakfast was the amongst the best I've ever tasted.
Would we stay here again when travelling through Paris - definitely.
Would we stay here again if were were doing something else in Paris - more than likely.
All in all an excellent experience and a great start to our trip.
