Café Hôtel de l'Avenir

Very nice and cozy, super clean, friendly staff excellent service.

Nous avons vraiment aimé notre séjour à l'hôtel. Le traitement des gérants et des serveurs était très sympathique et attentionné. Ils ont été super avec nous. La chambre était bien aussi, avec lavabo et douche. Les toilettes sont à l'extérieur de la chambre et sont communes, mais propres aussi. Nous avions plein de serviettes, de gel et de shampoing, une bonne douche... nous répéterions !

We booked hotel l’Avenir initially due to the good first impression of the clean modern rooms and bathrooms. We were not disappointed, a lovely little French café with rooms upstairs, but very professional, staff were lovely, location fabulous and the area lovely too. Hotel very modern. Key points: LOCATION we were warned by the taxi driver who picked us up from gare du Nord that the area we were going to was not the best at night and we should be careful, I would please ask you all to form your own opinion on the area as it is quaint and lovely and has a fabulous church and immaculate park next to the hotel, if I’m honest I suspect the taxi drivers warn every tourist of this to encourage them to use the paris taxi system and put money in their pocket, I’m sure there’s bad there like anywhere, but all we saw was good. There’s a Monop’ supermarket 3 minutes walk from the hotel which is open till 21:30 for buying whatever is needed as it is a substantial supermarket. There is food and cafe available in the hotel, and le montmartre bistro across the crossroads offers food and drinks also. TRANSPORT: transport connections, it is very close (across 1 road) to the local metro station - Garibaldi. From here you can easily reach any Paris attraction or destination with 1 change on the metro system, or 2 maximum. Only thing to be aware of is that on an evening on the way back to the hotel, the trains get very busy as the location of garibalidi station is on the University St-Denis line, so all the students travel back late on an evening. Buses also run from Garibaldi bus stop. ROOMS our room was spacious and had a tv, wardrobe, hard floors, bedside tables with lamps, and a small desk with a chair next to a plug socket. The room was modern and clean and bedding was fresh and beds made daily/housekeeping provided with toilet roll etc, extra blanket provided in the wardrobe. No fan provided or available. BATHROOM: We booked a room with a bathroom included (with WC) these are all on the 3rd floor, and doncoat €10 extra per night, rooms on floor 1 and 2 have a communal toilet, but do have hand washing and shower facilities in the rooms. Bathroom modern, clean, towels changed daily, toilet roll always full. GENERAL HOTEL There is NO LIFT, this was fine for us however it is advertised as having one, which is incorrect and the stairs are very steep. There is a disabled persons room available on the ground floor. You can access the hotel through the café until 12 midnight, after that you must use the side door which requires the daily code they will provide you with on check in. Staff friendly and speak a good amount of English dependant on who you get, can’t fault the staff. Free WIFI provided The hotel organises live music every night which is strictly finished by ten, we heard absolutely no noise after that time and the rooms were well soundproofed. You do not get a key the doors are locked and a code is given for you to access your room, this is gre

Aun cuando tiene una buena ubicación (cerca a una estación de metro), fue tan mala la elección que solo nos quedamos una noche y por fortuna nos anularon las demás noches que teníamos programadas (esa fue la parte buena, la empatía del personal y el que nos dieron esa alternativa para salir). Habitación en un cuarto piso, sin ascensor, definitivamente no es una opción para personas mayores y con equipaje. La información cuando hice la reserva no había sido clara respecto del baño. La habitación sólo tenía ducha y lavamanos dentro de la habitación; el sanitario era compartido (un único sanitario para al menos ocho habitaciones que debe haber por piso). Eso es algo que nunca me pasó por la cabeza que me podía suceder. Otra cosa que me molestó fue encontrar en la puerta de la habitación que el precio por habitación era la mitad de lo que yo había pagado pese a que había hecho una reserva con casi tres meses de anterioridad.
