Don't Stay at Hotel De Maubeuge

We choose this hotel because it was close to the Eurostar rail station. We passed two adult shops walking to the hotel and once there were not impressed. The man was nice enough, but the room smelled of urine and looked like something out of a bad summer camp cabin. Needless to say, we walked away from our expense of the night and actually went back to London!

Great Location! Great Hotel for the price

Location, Location, Location! Great location, close to the Gard Du Nord (Paris Nord)train station. From this station there's access to all the Paris subway lines and also all the international train lines. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The bathroom is small but hey, I'm only visiting so I don't care. As long as I could shower etc I was fine. Shower curtain in the bathroom needs to be longer because water from the shower splashes out to the bathroom floor. Nice room decor with Flat screen TV (everything on the TV was in French that kinda sucked). No A/C but the temperature in Mid-July when I was there was relatively comfortable so I didn't feel like I was in an oven...I even had to use the blankets at night. The front desk staff was pleasant and very accomodating, catering to all of my requests quickly. Nice hotel for the price and that location is very very hard to beat!

got what I paid for

Well, lets starts out on a good note... the hotel was extremely close to the Gare de Nord station which made access to all the site extremely easy. It was all of a 5 min was to the station. Also, all the brasserie in the area were open 24 hours. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the front desk was manned 24 hours. On the bad side....it seems that when we went to check in the reservation didn't carry over to the hotel and the lady had to manually write us in in the manual ledger. That being, I requested a room with 2 twin beds and we were only able to get a room with a double. The room was small, extremely small. I've seen dorm rooms that were bigger. The bathroom was also small. It had all the amenities (sink, toilet, shower) but was cramped. The shower was no more than a 2 foot square. You could barely bend over to soap your legs. Because the bathroom was so small everytime you showered the entire floor of the bathroom got wet. Other than that, it was a pretty good trip overall. I just wish the hotel room was bigger.
