Location across the street from Gare du Nord (Nord Station) which is ideal for anyone traveling into Paris from the airport or anywhere else. Also a great landing pad for getting around. Always a taxi near by, lots of shops and eateries. Fantastic!
Check in was a breeze, like a hotel. The man at the front desk was full of hospitality and the cleaning staff were friendly as well. There was an elevator to use with your bags but depending on how many you have, you need multiple trips. My husband, dog and I took two trips with two larger suitcase, backpacks and smaller carry on bags. Plus a small dog.
The room boasts an amazing, large and comfortable bed. Perfect for a weary traveler. Light switches on either side of the bed control a night light so you can see in the night as you get used to the time change. As I mentioned earlier, my husband and I had a lot of bags and so we had to be flexible with them in our path but we only stayed the night so this was not a problem. Our dog liked to crawl under the bed and he got full of dust but, oh well. There is a desk and a TV, although we never figured out how to run the TV from the remote. There is also a cooling/heating unit and a safe.
The bathroom is quite large considering the small space. The shower has good pressure and body wash/shampoo are in a pump. Towels also provided. Just be sure to open the large windows before a steamy shower or your room will remain hot. These large windows overlook a courtyard of sorts and are great to let in a breeze during the day but at night will let bugs in as there are no screens.
This is a basic necessities room without much luxury, a wonderful value for the money considering it’s location, the large bed and bathroom. Stay modest and you’ll feel like a queen, if you demand posh this isn’t the place for you. We give it 5 stars with a woof from our pooch.
