 The surrounding neighbourhood is not so safe not a place you want to be out at night For this reason when I m in Paris I only stay there the one night before I take the Eurostar 
 The location is excellent for access to the Gare du Nord and the Eurostar I ve stayed in this hotel twice already for the ease of catching the early morning Eurostar It s just across the street The rooms have kettles so leaving too early for breakfast won t deprive one of coffee The price of the room compared to the other equally convenient hotels is a bargain
