Hello Christine,
The hotel location was perfect, very close to Gare du Nord in a good area. However the hotel was very old and need some refurbishments. In the photos, it looked much nicer than it was in real life.
If you remember, the rooms were without bed and breakfast, but finally the double rooms for 1 night had breakfast included and the other 2 not. When I asked the reception about it, he was not very kind in his answer and told me I made different reservations. I said that it was all done together by an agency.
We hope the feedback may be useful.
Best regards!

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.
