We stayed in Paris for 5 nights following a cruise, and picked this property due to its location near the Gare du Nord station for catching a train to CDG airport, and the value that it offered for the rating it had from reviews. The staff were excellent, and the breakfast (not included but only 8 Euro) was very good to start our day. This is an older building that has been renovated over the years, and while the main lobby is in great condition, the hallways on the 4th floor where we stayed were in need of some upkeep. Our room itself was small but tidy, but did not have any power outlets in the bathroom for a hair curler, so my wife had to use our I-pad as a mirror in the bedroom area. There was a safe in the room, but it was not bolted down to anything, so we chose not to use it and carried our passports with us. The biggest reason for a lower rating on this property was the noise, as the walls have no sound proofing at all. On most nights we had other guests coming in very late and making noise, or simply being loud in the adjacent room. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to request a room that is more isolated in the hotel.
