 Approaching late at night from Gare Est via a back street brings you through quite a worrying area I would recommend sticking to the main road up Lafayette Approach from Gare Du Nord would not be a problem the area around front is actually nice lively with some restaurants bars Hotel itself has no restaurant
 Hotel is very conveniently located between Gare Du Nord Gare Est and is within walking distance of Montmartre Sacre Coeur and The Moulin Rouge Staff were very nice and attentive Some good eating places to be found around
