Avenir Hotel - Paris, France     

Well the location was fine, but the noise could be a problem if you like your windows open. Standard of the rooms was below average and the furniture and fittings looked tired and cheap. The photos on the website are misleading to say the least! I stayed there with my Mum, an 86 year old,active lady, but even she had problems with access into the shower; a high rise bath which she could not step over. When we arrived, she was booked on the top floor in a single room with a shower cubicle that was set in the eaves. We eventually sorted this out and were offered a triple room. Staff were helpful and the room rates were about average for the quality. Would recommend paying a bit extra to enjoy a better quality of room elsewhere.

This hotel is great value considering the view of the Sacre Coeur. We had a triple room and while not huge in proportions it was perfectly adequate. The furnishing are a little tired but everything was clean and the staff were extremely obliging. It is a perfect distance from the metro and so easy to get to from Gare du Nord Yes the lift is small, the bathroom tight, but it is only for sleeping in as the sights hardly warrant being in the room for anything but the smallest amount of time It is great value - get what you pay for - ask for rooms 34/39/41 if you can as the view is spectacular day and night.
