The hotel's location is perfect for the Gare du Nord and Montmartre. It is a traditional French hotel with the basics necessary for a comfortable short stay - it was just what I expected and what I enjoy about a night in Paris. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great. What the hotel is not is a modern, international "business" hotel with international TV, all the bells and whistles. I didn't try the wifi.

Nothing really. As indicated above, the facilities are basic, which isn't an issue for me. The hotel doesn't have a 24 hour reception, there is a "curfew" at 1:00am and if you leave before 8:00am in the morning you have to let yourself out. For me, none of this was the slightest inconvenience.

Some people have left negative reviews about this place, without reading/checking the hotel's specific policies, mainly to do with closing at 1am for the night, mentioning that there were no lifts, and leaving your room key every time you go out. I found these very easy to understand and had no issues with. them. Location is excellent, just yards away from Gare du Nord main line and metro station. The people who run the hotel are also very lovely. Yes, the rooms are basic, but functional. Again no issues here as a solo traveller. It might (definitely would) have been a tight squeeze for more people!

Wifi when it worked was fine, but could be intermittent.

The rooms are very basic but are comfortable and clean. The property is well located with great transport links. The gentleman who checked us in was fantastic and was really communicative when we had to delay our check in time due to our train being delayed. They serve lovely coffee downstairs and have amenities like a hair dryer on request.

It’s quite noisy. You can hear the trains as it’s close to one of the main train stations. The walls seem quite thin as you can hear other guests moving and talking in the corridors.

Close to the train station. The room was small, but good enough for a night. Old Hotel, but they try their best to keep it clean.

All the staff here are pretty friendly and warm. (They seem to be a family.) The rooms and decorations, including the big pink walls and tall wooden cupboard inside, are in an elegant traditional style, greatly surprising me. Although the toilet was also in the old style, it was in good condition for use. The location is convenient--just across from the North Gare of Paris. Also, I felt secure in the hotel, for they locked the gate and small door to the stairs from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. For me, the whole stay here was a pretty nice journey!

superb location for a short stay in Paris: very close to both Gare de Nord, Gare de l'Est and to Metro Statons; very accommodating and friendly owners, quiet and clean room,.

I did not mind, but some people might find it difficult to carry their luggage up a narrow staircase to their room. The Hotel does not open before 8 am. It is possible to leave but not to re-enter in case you forgot something. At present, at least, there is not breakfast served. However there a many restaurants in the neighborhood that serve early breakfast.

I wanted a classical small hotel, no AirBnB, no big chain - and this is what it is. A little old and old-fashioned, but the room seemed recently renovated and was very clean, good windows shut out the street noise. No fridge in the room, but a writing desk and a bathroom with a bathtub! It's directly opposite Gare du Nord, and a very short walk to Gare de l'Est. Classical Paris cafés / restaurants for breakfast are right at the corner. For a longer stay there might be "nicer" locations, but the area is ok and a lively corner of Paris (we stayed there to catch the train in the morning).

Staff were great and spoke okay English. Very helpful and friendly. Building is old but had great character and in good solid condition. We were lucky we're had a road facing balcony which provided some great views of the Parisian street scene. Couldn't hear any street sounds once the balcony doors we're closed which was amazing considering the location close to the train station.

The shower is a handheld over the bath but there is no shower curtain so water goes everywhere. You have to hand your room keys back when you go out. Not a problem as the curfew is 1am but a bit unusual these days.

Perfect location, few steps from Gare du Nord. Room is basic and clean. Good price for all your basic needs.

Would not recommend this hotel if you have mobility issues because you only have stairs. WiFi didn’t work, but luckily I was able to use the WiFi of one of their many neighbor hotels.

Location - ideal for accessing early morning trains from Gare d'lest All the basics in a tiny room Basic toiletries supplied Owner is present during business hours to manage key access to room.

Not much space to hang stuff / put stuff in bathroom It's pretty common for Euro places, but not much ventilation in bathroom As mentioned in other reviews, you can hear all the fun the other rooms are having very easily at night :)
