25hours Terminus Nord 4 stars

This one's - how best to describe it? - unusual. It's directly opposite Gare du Nord to ideally placed if you're travelling on Eurostar. When you walk in off the street the reception is very different to most hotels. There's a counter almost like a coffee shop but without the coffee and pastries. The staff were friendly and helpful and check-in was quick. There are only 2 lifts so it can take a while to get one and if there are more than 2 people in one of the lifts they need to be good friends. The room was quirky. A designer had obviously been given free reign - even the bed was different. It was standing on wooden wine boxes while the dial telephone and old oil drum as a waste basket were novel. Breakfast was good and checkout was rapid. Some of the streets around the hotel might make some travellers a bit nervous but we had no problems. Definitely recommended.

I already stood at 25hours hotels in different countries and every time they surprise me with a special theme of interior design, delicious food at Neni Restaurant either for breakfast or dinner. Rooms are very specious, everything is clean and comfortable. You also get a free drinks in the refrigerator that can be refilled every day.

The location is great, a door step from Gare du Nord station. The hotel decoration is very artsy and the staffs are very friendly & helpful. We got a bigger room , Happy Hours drinks, and candies! Free whole Mini Bar for 1st night. At the reception area there is a tab water, with the cold icy water. A nice hotel to stay while in Paris .

I had booked 3 nights in this hotel when we had an unexpected family tragedy. At this point we had only checked in for a matter of hours and had to return home immediately. The hotel took full balance and even in these exceptional circumstances would not consider even a partial refund. The manager was rude, and emails were not much better. Fortunately the staff at Eurostar and hotels.com were wonderful and so helpful. Hotel decor was funky and unusual but the noise levels in corridor were ridiculous. Wasn't too impressed with area either, lots of undesirables gathered outside and security was required to monitor the doorway. Give this one a miss folks!

Interesting. Firstly, great location and great staff. Great air conditioning. Great Lebanese restaurant. However, Lebanese food is a bit limited, and so I ended up eating in other local places instead. My room - painted very dark pink in two different shades, with a really lary carpet and a black toilet, a dark blue bathroom and a very strange "sculpture" of a cow's head made from plastic bottles (with a rather creepy look) on the wall above the bed. Only English language TV channels are BBC World News Europe and France 24 English. Don't expect an evening watching TV unless you are fluent in French. Easy but long-ish walk to art galleries, museums etc. - I went to Pompidou, Louvre and Musee D'Orsee. Would I stay here again ? Yes.
