We booked this hotel on our last night in Paris, to be close to the Gare du Nord, which is about a 5 minute walk away. For that reason it’s very convenient. The hotel was nicer than we had expected and although the room is not large, it was significantly bigger than we expected. It also had a very small balcony which was nice to look out from our 5th floor. Everything was clean and it was not too loud for being on a very busy street. They offer a lot of amenities, so if you’re planning on staying there for a few nights, I think it would be very helpful and an added value to stay here. The neighborhood is not the Paris that you see in tourist guides, so if you are a sensitive traveler, you might feel nervous. That being said it’s a close walk to the metro and a 15 min walk to Sacre Coeur, not far from Abbesses and Pigalle. I highly recommend walking to La Bascule (rue Duratin) after waking through Montmartre for a glass of wine to relax, and then eating dinner at their sister restaurant Le Bon La Butter (on Rue Lepic). It’s a nice walk home to the hotel afterwards. Overall, this is a pretty decent value if you don’t need to stay in the heart of tourism.
