 Room lighting was inadequate even by modern standards 
 This was extremely convenient for Gare du Nord where I arrived by Eurostar It was very easy to find opposite one of the main exits from the railway station Check in was straightforward I arrived late evening but there was time to visit the bar on the first floor This was a very pleasant experience I was able to have a nice relaxing drink in a quiet surround and I recommend it for other travellers staying here
