Hipotel Paris Gare du Nord Merryl

Excellent hotel for the money. Room with en suite facilities and Elevator. Crucially, it was quiet at night with the double glazed windows closed. Rooms cleaned every day. Staff very friendly and helpful. Full concierge service giving security. Ten minute walk from Gare du Nord and just across the road for metro station to central Paris. I could not fault this hotel.

The staff welcomes you very kindly and warmly. Incredibly helpful in getting you directions to major attractions in Paris. Although the hotel has its history in this part of town, the room is very clean and tidy. Breakfast waits just around the corner in a charming local cafe. The hotel is in a very accessible location. Parking North close by. Only a ten minute walk. The metro No. 2, 2 minutes steps from the hotel, takes you immediately to the Arc de Triomphe.

Several things that fancier hotels often don't have: extremely adequate ceiling lighting; bed lamps at the right height to be switched on and off from the bed and at the right distance from the bed; soap provided rather than only gel; a shower door that closed properly; a decent-sized writing table. Also, the staff was extremely helpful, both when I arrived (late at night and very tired) and the next morning when I had to get up very early and have a taxi ordered.

I was at first doubtful about my stay given the past reviews but the experience was not bad at all. The property is located close to metro station. Room size (single) was better than many Paris city hotels. Staff is welcoming and gentle. No need to worry about the street vendors. They're just normal refugees/immigrants making a living through selling cigarettes and they won't eat you up! 😊

It's located a few minutes from Lachapelle metro station for getting around Paris, and Gare du Nord for entering and leaving the city. Friendly professional staff.
