Hotel de Maubeuge, Gare du Nord

Close to Metro!

This hotel was just fine... Positioned well as it's just a few blocks from Gard du Nord metro station (with a line to the airport). Lots of restaurants in the area. Be aware that there are a lot of "gypsies" who hang outside the metro station just be aware of that. In general I didn't feel unsafe in the area. The staff were extremely nice and always present (slept downstairs at night in hotel). The room was small and not air conditioned, so just be aware of the weather when you go here. All in all it was fine!

Location

Great location as noted in other reviews. Cheap. You get what you pay for: don't be disapointed - be forewarned.

Your Home Away From Home in Paris

I was showing my daughter Paris for the first time and with very little money we booked this hotel thru this site. Considering the price this hotel deserves another star - apparently under new ownership, they bent over backwards to treat us like family. We paid in advance and they were ready for us - we checked in they gave us our key and greeted us everytime we came in or out. Its only a block from the Gare Du Nord which gets you anywhere in Paris via the Metro or internationally by train. They have internet for their guests and a cute little restaurant and will go out and get you whatever you want if they dont have it. We love this little hotel and will come back whenever we can.

Decent Hotel

While clearly not an outstanding hotel it was what was needed, a clean safe place to sleep. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The location was close to good cafes and the Gare du Nord Metro station.

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!

HOTEL COMMENSURATE WITH RATE

Hotel staff was polite and spoke English, a rarity in France. Elevator could accommodate only one guest and his/her luggage. Room was smallest I have ever seen; there was just enough space to stand between the bed and the bathroom. Shower was stand-in, and the bathroom was small but comfortable in that it had hot and cold water. TV was up on a bracket and all shows were in French. Staff saved us money by suggesting local buses to take us to Eiffel Tower and Arch de Triomphe, great shawarma restaurant near the Gare du Nord railway station, and a walk to the Sacre Coeur! Note: English breakfast is a rarity, and accept the French breakfast in the breakfast room for 9 euros with a smile!! Hotel safely kept our luggage in its hold until we returned in the evening to catch our train to Madrid!

Good hotel

The hotel is very conveniently located by the Gare du Nord (a train station) which was easy for transportation. They serve breakfast for 7.50 euros which wasn't worth it. Overall, my mom and I enjoyed our stay.

Adequate, nice neighborhood

This is a ** hotel with no pretentions of being more. Room was small but adequate and clean but sparse, staff were helpful, breakfast provided at extra cost. It was great as a base to sight-see all day, close to trains, cafes. Felt we were in a neighborhod. Could be noisy in the hot summer as the road can be loud, you may want to close the window and there is no a/c. No coffee/tea making facilities. You get what you pay for!

Gare location excellent

The hotel is located just around the corner from Gare du Nord making it a good place to stay if you have a train the next morning - particulary to CDG aeroport. It is small - as most Paris hotels are, the room was crowded but clean. It had a WC with a decent shower, however there wasn't any air conditioning. This could be a problem as it is very noisy outside and it would be impossible to leave the window open if you were on the street side. The desk clerk was extremely helpful.

Does its Job

The hotel was not outstanding in any way except for most of the service we received. The bedroom and bathroom were tiny, but if you are a student or just looking for a good price, this hotel would be a good option for you. The location is great since you are so close to the metro and have lots of little bakeries and places to eat close by. It is nothing fancy, but it does feel like a safe place to sleep.
