De Bellevue Gare du Nord

"the hotel is in the same district as the train station , about a 10 minute walk . the hotel is absolutely fine for a Paris stay , with the centre a bus ride away which costs 2 euros each way . the breakfast was good. rooms were small but not surprising for the price. the hotel is good value . we requested a top floor room which was quiet. the area around the hotel has a lot of immigrants / homeless people which some may find intimidating. We didnt see any problems or issues with them and locals just went about their daily routine as if they werent there."

"Great value hotel with clean and modern rooms. We didn’t hear too much noise outside at night and the hotel staff were very helpful. It was a 10 euro cost to leave our bags on our departure day. Not too long a walk to Sacre Coeur and Montmatre but a lot further to other main areas. We didn’t use the metro but we used many of the taxi companies which were good. I would advise against walking anywhere in this area, especially at night and on your own, as it felt extremely unsafe. If you're booking through Eurostar be sure to check the trip advisor reviews not just the reviews on the Eurostar website, I didn’t and if I had I probably wouldn’t have chosen this hotel from the numerous negative reviews commenting on the location."

"The Hotel & staff were absolutely fabulous ,excellent. 10/10 Unfortunately - I’m sad to say it was a different senario when venturing outside the hotel in this neighbourhood,hotel is near Marx dormoy & la chapelle which have probably been described as sketchy & edgy . I always felt scared & on edge leaving the hotel."
