Stayed here for a night in late June 2023 as part of a weekend trip to Paris to see Depeche Mode play at the Stade de France. Travelled from London on the Eurostar and it took about 25 minutes to get to the hotel from Gare du Nord (there are a couple of RER and Metro lines you can take). The hotel is located just off the Place d’Italie and we were checked in very quickly on arrival. We were also pleased to be told we were being upgraded to a larger room on the eighth floor. This was a slight larger room that included a range of complimentary soft drinks. The only slight downside was that the hotel only has one lift which is pretty slow, so it can take a while to get to higher floors. The room itself was not particularly large but had a contemporary design and modern bathroom. As we were in Paris to go to a concert and visit the sites we did not spend too much time in the room, but it was a comfortable place to stay. During our stay Paris was experiencing very warm weather, so we really appreciated the free water on offer in reception. The hotel is a typical mid-range city centre property with limited facilities. However its location close to a variety of restaurants, bars and other attractions means that it is not an issue. As a result we were on a room-only rate and made use of a great café a few doors down for breakfast. We also really enjoyed the local food market which appeared outside on the Sunday morning- it has some very impressive local produce on sale. There is also a decent sized shopping centre called Italie 2 located five minutes from the hotel with an good selection of retailers. We enjoyed our brief stay at the hotel and would recommend it as a great place to stay when visiting Paris for a short break. Whilst it is in the centre of the city the area is not too overwhelmed with tourists, so you feel you are getting the full Parisian experience.

“Good location ”

We stayed there the last night we visited Paris, it was a good location to go around Paris. There is a close by metro station, Place d'Italie. Rooms were nice, clean, and compact.

We stayed there the last night we visited Paris, it was a good location to go around Paris. There is a close by metro station, Place d'Italie. Rooms were nice, clean, and compact. The shower was nice and clean. Looked really nice, even though it was compact. They do room service for breakfast and dinner. We ordered a room service as we were tired and wanted to eat quickly and sleep. We ordered 2 vegetables, green Thai curry and chicken in cocnut milk curry. The Thai curry could do with more seasoning. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty. There are a couple of places down the road to eat too. We went down for breakfast. They had varieties of bread , cold meats butter and cheese. Also had fruits, muesli, and dried fruits and nuts to add it to the top of the cereals. There were baguettes as well. Coffee machine gave nice fresh coffee. There were varieties of loose tea available as well. There was bacon and suasges mixed in pan, which was warm, and on another pan, there were scrambled eggs. It felt like the hotel was covered with some sheets where put on the floor, probably renovating. We checked out early and left our luggage there and came to pick up at 5pm they were kept just behind the desk. The staff are friendly and speak English too. Outside the hotel a few yards away, there is a local market setup that has vegetables and fish. Overall, we slept well and location is good.

“Fine”

The room is really nice not too big but not too small. Very close to everything even food thought the restaurant that’s closest too it has bad food. The metro is minutes away and the view is nice.

The room is really nice not too big but not too small. Very close to everything even food thought the restaurant that’s closest too it has bad food. The metro is minutes away and the view is nice. Comfy beds and nice staff. The free water is such a nice thought. But the showers have mold on the ceiling which brings the rating down from me at least but the bathroom otherwise was nice at first glance great sink and toilet very modern, with nice and fluffy towels.
