This is a really old style hotel dressed up with some Ibis Style signs. It has really small rooms, all very cramped. It is in a very noisy, unsafe if not dangerous area fronted by the Gare du Nord with drug dealers and pickpockets operating. Within feet of the hotel you are asked several times what drugs you would like to purchase. Staff are very friendly, but unless you don't care about your surroundings it would be better to go further afield to stay in better conditions
