I went to Paris for 3 days with my 12 year old son. I have been in Paris many times, usually staying south of the Seine. This was my first time in this hotel. It was great: the room was large and modern (for Parisian hotels), the bathroom was huge and very modern (for Parisian hotels) with a rain shower! The bed slept perfect. And it was mostly quiet (on the floor above us, there were some children that seemed to like jumping on the floor and there was some construction nearby that started around 7:30). The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good choice, and the staff was friendly. The only slight disadvantage was that the trip to and from Gare du Nord requires a metro connection, which is in itself not a problem, but with my large bag and a son who was not used to the metro it was a bit of a hassle.
