Although the room was small, it was enough for my needs, and was cleaned every day. The area was close to the metro and I was able to use it to get to and from Gare du Nord with my one medium sized suitcase. Just be warned that if you do this, there are a lot of steps to lug your bags up and down. The hotel is also within walking distance of many eateries and places to shop. You could even walk to the louvre, which I did. I never felt unsafe out at night and the staff I dealt with were all friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again as a solo female traveller.
