Hôtel Picardy

Clean room,helpful staff

The room had a lot of dust. The bathroom was not very clean. The telephone for reception did not work, so to communicate with them we had to go downstairs. And it was cold. Not only cold, but the heating was not working. They did not have a small heater to compensate and they also had no extra blanket to give. How can a hotel not have any spare blankets ??? The staff was rude and did not want to help. They promised that they would do something about the cold but did nothing and completely ignored us. Then apparently Expedia contacted them on my behalf, and they lied to them claiming that they had given an extra blanket when they did not do so. They do not care about their customers ! AVOID !!!

Elevator was not working! We were on the (6) 7th floor.

The room could only be locked with difficulty, which was of some concern. The toilet was difficult to flush and on some occasions would not flush at all. The breakfast was generally fine, but on the last day I had to ask twice for access to food and did not get all I asked for. I was charged a 5 euro fee for keeping my luggage after checkout - I have never had to pay this fee in any other hotel in Paris, in fact in no other hotel in any country I have visited. I am accustomed to staying in budget-end hotels in Paris, but I have to say this hotel was disappointing. The owners need to attend to property maintenance in the areas noted above, to ensure that future guests enjoy their stay.

staff, amenities and location

Rooms clean, coffe every morning very good food next door to right side as well to the left grocery store across stree and north station at front in general a very well basic hotel 🤓

Good hotel, staff is best

Perfect location for hopping an early morning Eurostar train at Gare du Nord. Rooms are very spartan so don’t expect much. No mini fridge, old towels, shower head that won’t remain in place.

Im not picky with hotel because I only need for bath and sleep but this one is the worst hotel Id stay. Noise from outside very loud that you cant sleep at all. Toilet so dirty and cant sit properly because no space for your legs even im very tiny. Tv not working. The worst part is, you have to leave the room key to the front desk when you leave the room, why?

Room generally very clean, staff most welcoming and it was lovely and warm with heating on! It was noisy outside, being on a main road, so i needed my earplugs, but it couldnt have been closer to the gare du nord station, which is what i wanted with an early start from there the next morning. I could not get the tv to work despite following the printed instructions, but i did not really need it anyway. The bathroom had no shower curtain or screen around the bath, so i had to be very careful else water would have gone everywhere, so it was very tricky! The plug design in the sink meant that it was hard to keep open and not clean underneath when you pulled it up, so these issues in the bathroom could be improved, but it was otherwise spotless. Thank you.

Easy to find from the subways and overlooks one of the entrances to Gare du Nord. One of the cheapest places with ensuites so you get what you pay for. Small lift, rooms small and minimalist with a bed, very small desk, plastic chair, small wall TV and controllable radiator (higher settings make a bit of noise). Reasonably quiet with the window closed despite being on a main street and relatively thin walls between rooms. Good view of the station from the higher rooms. No tea or coffee or cups but several power points. Ensuite very small, difficult to turn or move. Same for the shower. Soap got taken away on day one without replacement - towels weren't renewed, but floor was clean. Small hallways fairly dark, had to feel for where to put the key in the door. Quick check-in and checkout. Good service from the staff and plenty of activities leaflets in reception. Restaurants everywhere, tubes busses and trains within a minute or two's walk. Great location and easy to find, basic functional rather than luxury.

Yes the rooms are small, yes it's the bulbs are not all working, but for the price it's very convenient, especially to take Eurostar. And not noisy when I stayed.

Terrible Experience – Would Not Recommend I had an awful stay at this hotel. The door to our room didn’t even lock properly and we were made to leave the key at reception every time we left the hotel, which made us feel completely unsafe. The stairwell to the room was cluttered with luggage and cleaning products, and not powered by automatic lighting, making the walk to and from the room an accident waiting to happen. The room itself was filthy — the floors and walls hadn’t been cleaned, the bathroom was grimy as the bathroom ceiling was non-existent and there was dust everywhere. To make things worse, it was extremely noisy all night with ambulances going past every 5 minutes and traffic congestion noises so we barely got any sleep. Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Yes. Next door. Breakfast was great

I cycled to Paris. Unfortunately the hotel couldn't accommodate my bike. My mistake there. Room was small byt for my needs that was fine. If you want a romantic weekend dont bother. Walls were very thun. Could here a neighbour's snoring. When someone flushed the toilet about i sounded like my room was going to flood. No breakfast. Normal French shops near by.

I enjoyed my week’s stay at this hotel. It is conveniently situated opposite the Gare du Nord, which makes it easy to get to from Charles de Gaulle airport using the RER, and so there is ready access to both the RER and the Métro for visiting other parts of Paris. Shops, bars, restaurants etc. in the area are plentiful. My room was clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed the breakfasts. The hotel staff were polite and friendly.

Budget property will never go back .

Practically almost no breakfast at all. Only coffee and croissants

Hotel right across the road from the railway station so ideal for a one night stay before or after your train. Staff helpful and was given a large room with comfortable twin beds. Room and bathroom was clean apart from black hairs on the sofa, possibly dog hairs. Plenty of bars and restaurants round the hotel.

The location was ideal for the train station and the price was really good. However, it was a bit strange that we needed to hand in our key every time we left for the day. Also, I don’t mind the only fashioned decor however the old shower door was broken and in the bathroom also was a strange grate on the ceiling. We also were only provided with half a loo roll and had to resort to regular boxed tissue. Lastly, on our morning of checkout whilst tidying the bed, we found a bed bug crawling along the sheets.
