This stay is basically a small hotel, which has some pros and cons:
PROS
- The air conditioning was lovely to have during the hot summer nights, not all stays have this big advantage
- Daily cleaning, the room was very clean
- Option to have breakfast in the hotel for an additional fee
- They can store your luggage until it’s check-in time
- The bed is super comfy, and you have access to an “honesty bar” at the lobby, coffee or tea maker at your room and liquid shower gel/shampoo
CONS
- The hotel is right by the train tracks, if you are a light sleeper this might be an issue
- The bathroom and shower are very small, but might be normal for French standards
- The key/card got deprogrammed very easily, we had to go daily to the front desk to get it fixed (very annoying after a long day)
- Gare du Nord and its surroundings are a bit sketchy, specially at night
- Beware of scammers operating at the metro station “helping” you to buy tickets at the machines
