The hotel is very good, spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable, the room was spotless, and the shower was excellent. However, the breakfast was very disappointing and not worth paying for. The reception staff deserves 4 stars.
Room was spacious, staff was excellent and helpful. Breakfast had heaps of options.
The only downfall is that the hotel is located close to Gare du Nord station which is a red light area where thieves operate. Highly recommend to take a taxi. Apart from that, the hotel is excellent
Lively lobby area, great rooms - family room at two toilets which was great! The surrounding area is quite vibrant - some restaurants, lots of local community shops, playgrounds. public transport options nearby.
The room was perfect and was clean. It was quiet and overall everything was great.

The location of the property is close to the train station, very convenient to go around where I wanted to visit.
The front desk staff is friendly and helpful, but one male staff at the food serving and bar area is not helpful or friendly, very obnoxious. I was very offended.
Great place . great location and friendly staff. Hotel room seems to be little old

The staff were very helpful and the property was decent. However, the area was real sketchy! Not too far from the property, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a red light district.
Had a lovely stay here with our young baby. Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel is very well kept. The parking was easy to access even with a higher vehicle and the hotel is well situated with easy access to the tram into the center
