We enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was lovely. The hotel is showing its age in places and the air-conditioning struggled with the heat but the room was comfortable enough. We had an early Eurostar train out in the morning so we couldn't stray too far from Gare du Nord, and especially in those circumstances this proved a good pick: well connected, fairly quiet neighbourhood, but some nice bars and restaurants in walking distance. Would definitely stay again.
