Hotel Habituel

The hotel is right next door to the Gare du Nord. My room is at the 6th floor but the elevator only goes to the 5th floor. The room is not very big and the furniture is very minimal. The toilet room is very small, might be a problem for someone who is claustrophobic.

The Room was a little dated. Compared to photos. Could do with a lick of paint and dusting

The hotel was very convenient, just steps away from Gare du Nord. Very impressed with room size. Much bigger than the usual Paris accomodations.

Conveniently located near Gare du Nord--highly recommend if you have an early train to catch. Despite facing a busy road, our room was quiet. Cozy, lots of shelf space, elevator. Would stay here again.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL BEFORE READING THIS REVIEW : July 15, 2022 First of all, when we arrived, the elevator was not working to reach the 3rd floor. In fact, we were the ones who discovered the problem, as our young son was stuck inside for a few minutes. He had the presence of mind to order the elevator to return to the ground floor, so he was able to get out. Following this incident, we had to take all our luggage up to the 3rd floor ourselves. Since we'd been on the road for over a week, we had four large suitcases and three smaller ones. Realizing that this situation didn't make sense for one of the travelers in our group (a 73-year-old lady with hip problems), we asked to leave the hotel with a refund. The receptionist told us that this was not possible, as we had already entered the rooms, even though it had only been a few minutes. To reassure us, he confirmed that the elevator repairman was on his way... which wasn't quite right; we found out later. So we went out for the evening, and by the time we returned late, we were convinced that the elevator was working, since the employee we'd seen earlier had confirmed that the repairman was on his way. What's more, there were no warning signs on the elevator. So two people in the group, including my 73-year-old mother-in-law, got on, but got stuck in the elevator again. We considered the failure to place a warning sign to be gross negligence, given that the employee had assured us that everything would be repair

Worth to classify as 2 stars problems in every part of it Not worth the money we psid It’s too expensive comparing to what it provides

This is not a 4 star property as in reviews. No security lock on door, no safe in room. Bannister is very wobbly. The toilet in the lobby reeked. On the positive, the ac worked but you had to rearrange the curtains. The elevator worked but is tiny. It’s one block to the Gare du Nord.

I liked the colorful, interesting, lively neighborhood. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, graciously making cups of delicious coffee. The hotel felt like a safe oasis. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of soft, fluffy pillows.

This property is very close to the train station so if you have a lot of luggage like we did, you don’t have to go far. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
