"Nice, small hotel"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3The rating is neutral but the hotel is actually quite nice.
It is listed as a three star but is really a three star minus or a two star plus. The rooms are very clean, very well kept though small and the main handicap of this hotel are the paper thin walls. You can hear all too much but to the credit of the other guests, it would seem that they all understood this and made a real attempt to keep the noise down.
Showers are well tiled and neat but once again, small.
The breakfast (included @ 67 euros) was up to Paris standards and minimal but adequate. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and tries hard.
The main attraction of this hotel is the location. One short block from the Gare de Est and four from the Gare du Nord. The Metro is in the Gare de Est and very convenient. If you have to do any travel out of Paris via train, this hotel would be hard to beat. Airport access is great.
Restaurants in the nearby area are sparse (good ones, anyway) but a short distance away, you have tourist Paris and all that it offers.
