We chose this location as we had an early train departing from Gard du Nord - with this being a large and busy train station, we were well situated to explore Paris during our stay. The room was adequate for a couple and we found it clean and well-kept. Being near the train lines, there is a fair bit of noise during the day but we found that at night, any noise from the station was greatly reduced and even my partner (who is a light sleeper) didn't have any problems. Overall, I felt the value for money was good for Paris and we enjoyed our stay here.
