 Area outside hotel not great at night Just need to be on your guard Fine during the day Number of people sleeping rough in the Gare du Nord underground saw 2 young guys urinating at the foot of the underground entrance stairway number of people loitering near the hotel with beer cans etc just be on your guard that s all 
 Bang opposite Gare du Nord Station Comfortable room Absolutely fine for a business trip weekend stay Lots of bars restaurants etc nearby if you don t want hotel breakfast
