Having stayed at a few budget hotels in this area when arriving late at or leaving early from Gare du Nord (never in the same one twice!), this is the best I've found and will be my go to option in future. Well placed within 10-15 mins walk of Gare du Nord and 5 minutes of Gare de l'Est stations and the Metro line 4 at Chateau d'Eau. The area was quiet overnight and walking to the hotel after 22.30 from the Metro felt safe. The front desk offered a friendly welcome. There was a small lift so getting to the upper floors was easy. The room, while small, had everything needed for a simple overnight stay including, most importantly, a comfortable bed. The en-suite was clean and had a good size shower. There was storage space, a TV, a desk and chair, and good WiFi. All this offered at a very reasonable price and with the option of a breakfast in the morning (which I wasn't able to stay and enjoy so cannot judge).
