Sure Hotel by Best Western Paris Gare du Nord

Staff were lovely. Mr Leon and Samir were very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean. The staff who were serving breakfast were brilliant as well. Really enjoyed our stay. We will be staying again definitely.

My daughter (16) and I recently stayed for a layover in Paris. We needed something inexpensive and close to the train. The email confirmation I received led us to a building across the street. Then I searched it online and was sent to the "wrong" lobby. The directions on the door for the other lobby was incorrect. While there were large "HOTEL" signs, the sign of the actual building was very small. After a bit of pacing back and forth down the street we were able to finally check in. Staff was very pleasant and lovely, the room was clean. There was a TV in the corner that was mounted at the very top of the wall and not plugged in. There also wasn't an outlet anywhere nearby to plug the TV in if we wanted to use it. For what we needed it for (a place to rest our heads it was fine. But due to room size (I understand that many European hotel rooms are small), and the lack of room amenities I don't think I would stay longer than a day or 2.

The hotel is easily accessible with public transport. Great breakfast with very good crepes and the staff is kind and professional, especially Salim at the reception. Paris city center can be easily reached in 20 minutes. Nearby there are many shops and a well-stocked supermarket.

Located in a dirty and dangerous area. When we checked in there was a very bad smell in the hotel probably related to lack of cleaning and maintenance. Don’t recomend the hotel if you’re traveling as a family. I believe this hotel has a low rating anyways and I can understand why now.

Rooms are small (typical for Paris, or any big city really), but clean and comfortable. For us, we needed to stay near the train station for our stopover in Paris. Plumbing was great, no leaks or funny smells. (After traveling in Africa, it felt absolutely luxurious to have a hot shower, good water pressure and electricity.) Room faced the interior courtyard, so no street noise. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

(My suitcase was padlocked outside of the hotel.) Mice chewed through my suitcase mesh to eat a cereal bar. Faeces on my clothes. No compensation at all on the room price. Offered a free breakfast but this was no good as we had to catch a train.

I was there for the third time. The location is very interesting station Gare du nord is 5 minutes walking away.The rooms are clean the main lack is the breakfast which is very expensive for the experience… scrambled eggs were cold (several times) 30’ after breakfast start, ham came later … next time I ll go to the bakery which is 2 mn away
