Smart Place Paris Gare du Nord by Hiphophostels

clean towels and house keeping ie bed made up every day. breakfast well presented.

very small room. couldn't even find cupboard to hang clothes, which was shown to be behind a big table. towels were very hard and worn out. TV did not work, even though we told them every day.

Local near gare du nord and friendly staff

smell cigar on teh room - disgusting

The location: close to Metro, RER, BUS, Gare du Nord. Although small, bathroom was clean, no filthy leftovers on the corners, clean bed linen. Easy card access.

The bed consisted of a stack of 2 mattresses covered in plastic sacks and on top of them there was the bed linen (awkward storehouse feeling) There were 50 cm between bed and window and bed and bathroom. Bathroom(shower cabin) too tiny. The windows closely faced a tiny courtyard and the windows from another(or the same) hotel (we encountered some noisy neighbors). The elevator was on the other side of one of our walls, so it was quite noisy. Also the door was too close to the bed(50 cm like the bathroom) There was no space to leave your shoes at the entrance so since it rained heavily, our wet shoes were left on the carpet as they were. Quite an old building... But for a 2 ** hotel, I guess these were the prices versus comfort.
