Mercure Paris Gare du Nord

Good
Traveller Type: young couple
  : The staff helped out considerable when a situation arose and we could miss a train for it. Fortunately they're great there!It's also very close to train connections and metros (but also, the kind of sketchy folks that linger around train stations and metros). Nothing they can do about that though.
  : The room safe was quite odd - different than any other, and I succeeded in locking my passports inside. The maintenance staff also are off on the weekends! Fortunately the staff there were able to unlock the safe - but those safe's should be replaced. Also, the neighborhood - not great, but increasingly sketchy as you move towards the station. For couples or families, consider farther away from any station (mea culpa on that one).

Fair

Poor

  : The staff were very helpful.Good location.
  : The rooms were small. No resemblance with the pictures in the adverts. Not enough storage space and the room looked worn. Not good value.

  : 5 minute walk from Gare du Nord. Great spot if you plan to visit all areas of Paris. A trip to the southern parts can take a substantial amount of time. Reserve at least 1 hour for metro travel in that case.Shops of all sorts and restaurants are plenty, most of them in front and in the side streets of the station.The hotel is located just outside that busy area with at least 2 supermarkets between them.Bathroom in the basic room is small, with green perspex doors. OK for max 2 nights.Had a different room the next day which was a lot bigger, also had a bigger bathroom with a glass door in blue design and a better layout. Much better and a wiser choice for a longer stay (+2 days).Beds are still changed on a daily basis and used towels replaced. Breakfast is of the "American" style. Room on street-side overlooks the platforms from Gare de L'est so it is very close to both. As a result their station announcements can be heard as is the odd rumbling train. A closed balcony door eliminates those sounds quite well.Know that a city tax (13/night) needs to be paid upon arrival. It is not included in the price of the booking.
