Pros

Art Deco interior design with exotic Okoumé wood elements

Soundproofed rooms with brick, terracotta, and khaki color schemes

Direct RER B connection to Gare du Nord

Walking distance to eight diverse dining venues

Cons

3.5 miles from the Eiffel Tower

Some balcony rooms face the street

“From what I gathered, this hotel really shines with its Art Deco touches and the perk of a free daily cake. The location is convenient for exploring the Jardin des Plantes and other attractions, especially with a nearby metro stop. I appreciate that the staff seems eager to help with anything from travel chargers to restaurant tips, and the on-site hammam is a definite plus for unwinding after a day in Paris.”

super stay!

great locationmodern designrainfall showercomfortable beds
I really appreciated the great location. It was so easy to reach from gare du nord. the design felt modern, and i liked the thoughtful bathroom toiletries. i especially loved the nespresso machine, a full bath with a rainfall shower, and the comfortable beds, such thoughtful touches. the large windows brought in so much daylight, and it was surprisingly quiet since my room faced a leafy courtyard
the only minor issue was that the room lacked a mini-fridge, but honestly, i managed just fine without it. everything else was so spot-on that this didn't bother me much.

The steam room access was really wonderful and relaxing after a long day. breakfast was a highlight. There were plenty of fresh fruits, yogurts, pastries, croissants, cheese, and deli meats. the lobby had a chill coffeehouse vibe. the wi-fi was super fast.
Location

the area had many lovely cafes and restaurants, i enjoyed exploring the local eateries. a supermarket right next to the metro made everything convenient. it was also an easy walk to a nearby park, such a convenient way to spend the morning.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. the room and other areas were spotlessly clean. the complimentary shampoo, soap, and lotion smelled wonderful. I even considered buying some. i found it a solid choice if you plan to use public transit since it is close to the st marcel station.
the street noise was noticeable, though it didn't bother me too much.

breakfast was not good, in my experience. i also noticed there wasn't an ice bucket.
