Sure Hotel by Best Western Paris Gare du Nord

Excellent location, I was able to check in quickly even though I arrived late at night from the station.

I arrived in the morning and only intended to drop off my luggage, but they said I could check in right away, so I did. The amenities were very basic, and there were no tissues. The hotel wasn't too far or too close to the station, so I didn't find it inconvenient at all.

The elevator is tiny, only fitting one person and a suitcase at a time. The balcony couldn't be opened because of an outdoor unit. Line 2's La Chapelle station is a two to three-minute walk away, and Stalingrad station is a 10-15 minute walk. The area under the bridge along the way is where homeless people live, which felt a bit unsafe. Nearby, there's an Indian community with many Asian restaurants and supermarkets. The room was small but could fit two 28-inch suitcases. Soundproofing in the room was poor. The restroom provided hand soap and paper towels. The shower had a 2-in-1 body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Both the bathroom and restroom doors were sliding doors, leaving gaps between the door and the wall. The vending machine in the hotel only accepted coins.

The hotel is good. The staff are friendly. My voucher stated a bathrobe was included, but I wasn't given one. They said it was a mistake, which is a strange stance to take as the voucher is the main document. Breakfast was good. It's a convenient walk to the train station.
