Avalon Hotel Paris Gare du Nord

Good and Bad. Hotel is conveniently near to Gare Du Nord. Within 5 mins walk. Things to consider if travelling with young baby. The lift is very small. You really have to squeeze into the lift with the Babyzen yoyo pram. Larger prams won't fit. No baby changing facilities in hotel, so if you don't have your room ready or checked out, floor is the only option. Double bed + single bed room is actually 2 single mattresses pushed together, had to leave the duvet as bedding and use single bed duvet. Crack in the middle is not comfortable and should have said so in the listing. Wouldn't have booked it otherwise. AC doesn't work, it blew only hot air and controller did not work except On OFF and speed of fan. Shower curtain will give you cold shocks. Because shower is so narrow when you having shower the curtain will keep hitting you as there is a draft in the bathroom. If you are a big person you are definitely striking your arms on the wall, since with the curtain it is only 80 x 60cm shower space. We only spent a night, all was acceptable as trying to change room will always fail so didn't bother. Left the bathroom window a little bit open to let some cool air in. I would considering staying here again if it's just 1 night as price was acceptable and I couldn't find something else better condition travelling alone but not with a young baby. 2 single mattresses pushed together and to stay with a baby is in my opinion bit dangerous and that's what the hotel gave for the booking. Hotel staff were nice and friendly in interaction.

The hotel is situated 7mjns walk from the station. On arrival at the receptionist, Luca's was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were clean , and the corridors however are very narrow. The only downside i found was the breakfast. It was a major letdown. There's no variety. All you get is basic cereal, pastries, bread , and cheese, and you boil your eggs by yourself. Apart from the breakfast, it's all good. I stayed for a night

The hotel is near a lot of cafes and has some grocery stores near. However it can get pretty noisy especially at night, but they provide noise cancelling earbuds which helped and let me sleep thru the night.  The breakfast was very good and tasted good the staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Also if the AC/Heater doesn’t work don’t hesitate to ask the staff. We didn’t ask for the first 2 nights but on the 3rd we did and they helped us, so that’s on us. Sadly you can hear pretty much everything your room neighbors say and we got woken up a lot by ppl checking out at 4am. The stairs are wooden and are pretty loud. The elevator is pretty small but works. However ppl that are claustrophobic may have a problem with this.  The bathroom is pretty small and it is smelly but clean it’s probably the pipes. This is a good place to stay for a few nights.

It was a good welcome at the but we were surprised when we reached the lift, it was so old school and tiny that the two persons can barely fit in with two luggages. We booked a city view but were given the room with back of the house view. Went down to check with the reception about my booking for the city view but they told me that thats the only room they had. The toilet was tiny too and the toilet door lock was faulty, the mirror for the small cabinet is broken and also informed the reception about it and they told me that they will come back to me if they can arrange any other room but no one did. The customer service was in a terrible shape as no one is willing to help in any way. I would never recommend this hotel for a family to stay as it is quite noisy, you can hear people when some walk past and even the noise from the next room can be easily heard.

Simple breakfast. Hotel is conveniently located near to Gare du Nord. Many eatery nearby. Simple breakfast.

Excellence location and good service in hotel staffs. Accessible location and we can go anywhere in Paris.
