Hôtel HOR Les Lumières

La chambre est agréable, propre et hygiénique, et pratique pour voyager. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux en centre-ville. Je reviendrai ici la prochaine fois. . .

We booked this hotel because it is only 15 minutes from Gare du Nord in Paris. The previous reviews and ratings were all extremely positive, and this was backed up by our own experience when we arrived. The greeting at reception was extremely friendly and helpful, and the twin room that we had booked (although slightly small) was more than adequate for our three night stay. My only slight negative (and that's why I gave the facilities 4/5) is that the shower cubicle in the bathroom was quite small. My son and I are both almost 2m tall and it was challenging to have a proper shower - although not impossible. The breakfast is excellent. There are two or three hot items and a very wide range of yoghurts, fruit, cheese, meats, pastries, bread, toast etc. Whatever you fancy will probably be available. Everybody that we met throughout the hotel is extremely friendly. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from two or three metro stations, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel which will take you all the way down towards Notre Dame and south of the river. Basically, you can get to anywhere in Paris really easily from the hotel. There are plenty of eating places nearby, and the canal Saint Martin is very close with some nice cafes, restaurants and bars. It's a nice place to walk in the early evening. If you book here, you won't be disappointed, and you will be extremely well looked after. I would certainly book again (although would probably ask if there was a room with a very slightly larger shower cubicle!) But perhaps I'm just being a bit picky as all Parisian hotel rooms seem to be small.

Location is great. Room is not big but has everything including a small fridge and safe. Reception is open 24 hours. All in all, a pleasant one night stay.
