You guys know very well I did not go to Paris because I have an American passport. And I'm waiting for my refund from Hotel Cambrai.

I could not sit in the toilet.
The hotel is nice (ish) if you are catching the train at Gare du Nord in the early morning. Very basic and clean. My biggest concern is the fact that the toilet was fitted in a corner where I could not even sit. I am not that tall (1.85) but I could not sit on it. I cannot believe they fitted there, or that they have not replace it. A toilet is a must in any hotel.

Rooms in photo looked so much nicer than reality. Tatty room, crumbling walls, bare floor, felt like going to fall through floor. Recpetion were helpful and friendly. Light falling apart on one side of room. Obious that whoever owns the place is not upkeeping the place and just bringin money in. This place will eventually fall apart. Shame because once again reception was friendly.

Ok
Overall, an ideal hotel to stay at if you’re wanting somewhere close to Gare Du Nord station and great for travelling. Rooms over clean and service at front desk is good. Bathrooms are the smallest I have ever seen and the whole hotel could do with a bit of a re vamp but overall probably worth the money considering it is one of the cheaper places to stay in Paris.

OK for the price
This hotel is pretty rundown. But it is near to Gare du Nord and inexpensive. It is also clean and warm. Obviously for this price you would expect the decor to be poor and the equipment to be old. So you get what you pay for. Overall this is Ok value for money.

The room is old but very functional. The toilet is small, but it’s not an issue for us. Comfortable bed and water pressure from the shower is strong. Loved the vegetable soap bar provided! Wifi is stable, both receptionist are very polite and friendly. Location is just 5 minutes from Gare Du Nord train station and metro. There are many restaurants and supermarket near the hotel as well. For the price, it’s definitely value for money.

Have already recommended to friends.
Hotel Cambrai was situated perfectly for moving around the city. The staff was friendly and the room was very decent for the price. I stayed in a private room with private bath, double bed and balcony. I was a little worried from the pictures, but the bed was actually comfortable. All the furnishings were very dated, but the room was very clean.

All the scathing reviews of this hotel would have you believe that it's a terrible place. That wasn't my experience. Yes, the hotel is a bit run down and has seen better days, but I found it to be perfectly serviceable, the beds adequate, the bathroom (although tiny and oddly laid out, with a shower you almost had to climb into) odd but functional. For the price and location it's still hard to beat. No, it's not luxury, and yes, the bedspreads have holes, but surely you didn't come to Paris to hang out in your hotel room all day. The room was adequate for our needs and reasonably priced.

Location was close to Gare du Nord. My single room came with a rediculously small bathroom. A circus acrobat would be afraid of this bathroom. But life needs some death defying challenges to make it seem interesting, so go for it!

Avoid!
Can't recommend to anyone really, but especially not unless you are fluent in French. Staff made no discernible effort to speak slower and more simply. Family rooms are next to a very noisy lift and in pretty poor condition. Our first room had loose tap fittings etc in the bathroom and holes in the wall. We were moved to a different room after the key card slot on our room was vandalised, it was marginally better but still in poor condition. We did not try the hotel's breakfast as could buy cheaper elsewhere. Location handy for Gare du Nord/Eurostar but plenty of other hotels in that area to choose from.

I was traveling from the US with my little dog and this hotel could not have been nicer!!! I want to go back just to visit the people who work there. Rooms are simple and remember no aircon, which can be a little difficult in France during the summer. Location is also good.

I am very disappointing with the way we were treated at Hotel Cambrai. The receptionist did not give us a WiFi password. Bathroom sink was clogged, no AC. That was reported to the receptionist. He could not care less. Very sad to see all of that. We also could not sleep in the night as someone was smoking in front of our window non stop. From the other side of the room, we could smell all the cooking activity that was going on in the apartment next to our room. Since one of the travelers had a strong medical condition and asthma, we had to leave hotel and change our location for next two days. We truly hope to get reimbursed. Very bad experience at Hotel Cambrai. That area is not the most safe area, too.

Extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile
Where to start... room was filthy, dust everywhere, holes in walls, stains on walls, doors falling off hinges, one bed was covered in something sticky. Hair in the sink and in the bath. Our wake up call was a couple of pigeons in the room due to not being able to shut the windows properly. Couldn’t lock the door from inside and no do not disturb sign. No facilities in room such as kettle, cups, or iron. Room had definitely not been cleaned. I don’t know what the other rooms are like but room 61 was pretty much uninhabitable. The only good thing was the closeness of the train station.

Okay location but need privacy
The hotel is close to Gare Du Nord station and many nearby restaurants and fast food. The hotel is okay. The room is spacious but the twin beds are sunken. The curtain in the bathroom has molds on them and shower is a little clogged. The hairdryer wasn't working the first day but was fixed by the room attendant the next day however the hairdryer didn't work well still. Wish I brought my own to use. I think since I got the room cheap I was okay with my stay. The hotel is a 2 star hotel so I wouldn't expect too much from it. It served its purpose for me to sleep at. My only complaint is there's no sign Do not disturb to hang on the door. The room attendant just opened my door without knocking first while I was still sleeping. She did this twice. Hope they add those signs for guests who don't want to be disturbed. The balcony is nice but the room has no A/C. It could get real hot when it's summer just FYI. About the location of the hotel, there's a lot of homeless people around Gare Du Nord and will ask for change but I just ignore them and they leave me alone. Just be careful at night as always wherever you go!

Close Vicinity to Transportation
The vicinity from the train station was wonderful for getting around the city, and the location was perfect. The hotel itself is older, but kept up well. The room was quiet and clean and the staff was very helpful. Great for the price.

It is really good hotel. After reading some negative reviews I was about to cancel my stay at that hotel but fortunately I did not. The hotel offered a good value of money. It is very close to Gate du Nord and the area is safe and packed with a lot of shops and restaurants. My room was comfortable and spacious and clean. The bathroom is small but it was functionally working well with warm water. Yes sometimes in the morning you can hear some noises from the guests and staff but is for 1-2 hours. Generally no noises from the street and it is quite hotel. I feel the staff of the hotel let it down and it may be due to language barrier. I was happy with my stay and I highly recommend it.

Rooms were small with only one functional power point and breakfast was quite limited. However, the rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The distance to gare du nord was also an advantage, but the neighbourhood around gare du nord is not the nicest.

It looks small from the street. Looks a bit rundown at first but it was WONDERFUL! The staff is fluent in english, our room was clean, the bathroom was clean and had a huge tub! Elevator is scary and small but worked fine. Free water refil by the front desk. If ever in Paris again, we would stay here again
