While the staff was pleasant and very helpful there was no A/C in the room, the location is in a dirty unsafe neighborhood, and the breakfast is nowhere near a 20 euro value. To top it off -- there is NO ICE IN THE HOTEL. The clerk had to get a few cubes from a small refrigerator in the kitchen. I booked the hotel because of the Best Western name. This place does not live up to the BW reputation. Stay away. Not recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are tiny. I was there on my own but even two people would have to choreograph their movements very carefully. Having said that, I am very happy with the trade-off. What I want in a room for a short stay is that it is perfectly clean and that everything works. This hotel offers, in addition, a coffee maker in the bedroom and a really wonderful breakfast buffet (which I signed up for by mistake.) Staff were helpful and smiley. My only slight reservation is the location. The area around Gare du Nord is not the best and the hotel is in a side street, which is quite well lit but which I nonetheless felt was a bit daunting. It wouldn't stop me staying there again though.

Hi, Everything was very nice overall, and I truly appreciated the hospitality. However, I did notice that the gluten-free options at breakfast were quite limited. Additionally, there were no clear labels indicating which products were lactose-free or gluten free. As dietary needs like gluten and lactose intolerance are not uncommon, it would be wonderful to see a wider variety of gluten-free and lactose-free options, clearly marked, in the future. Thank you again for the otherwise pleasant experience!

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights from 6 - 11 September 2024 (over the last few days of the Paralympics.) It was an excellent base for us to explore Paris and travel to and from CDG Airport, Gard de Nord, and out to Versailles. We arrived early on our first day so put our cases in their storage area and set off on foot to explore the canal area, Gard D’Ouest and finally off to the Marais area finally returning at 11pm! The staff were helpful, most spoke English, our room and the hotel was very clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast catered for all tastes and was very enjoyable. In terms of the room, I found the lighting a little too subtle in the bathroom for me and would have liked a small magnifying mirror to help with makeup/ shaving. Lovely bathrobes & slippers provided. I was concerned after booking the hotel when I read reviews about safety in the surrounding area and at the nearby Metro stations. However, we went to the Metro stations south of the hotel and soon had no concerns. Staff at the Metro stations were extremely helpful. Safety and cleanliness on the Metro was also very good. We definitely benefited from the money invested in Paris as a result of the Olympics. The quiet street the hotel was also being smartened up. There were also a lot of restaurants and cafes a few streets over to the west of the hotel which were buzzing with atmosphere we discovered too late on our last evening. We would happily return to the hotel and wish its staff well.

Posizione perfetta, arredo nuovo e pulito!

Situato in posizione ottimale per visitare le aree di maggiore interesse anche a piedi, in una via laterale molto tranquilla anche di notte. La nostra camera era appena stata rinnovata con arredi nuovi e il tutto era molto pulito. Abbiamo avuto una piccola incomprensione all’arrivo risolta velocemente dalla ragazza che tra l’altro parlava l’italiano.

Très bon séjour

Personnel très accueillant et bienveillant. Arrivée dans la matinée pour mettre notre valise à la bagagerie : café et eau offert. Ambiance très charmante et décoration faite avec goût sur le thème du l’hôtel : Arthur Rimbaud. Séjour d’une nuit en famille avec notre fille de 6 ans. Chambre un peu petite à notre goût mais suffisant pour une nuit. Si nous devions mettre un point faible cela serait sur le petit déjeuner, non pas sur le choix mais sur la partie chaude qui ne l’était pas. je pense que la personne en charge n’avait pas allumé le chauffe plat…. De manière globale vous pouvez aller dans cet hôtel les yeux fermés.
