We chose the Hotel des Belges for our one night stay because it was close to the Gare du Nord and was good value. Our welcome was friendly and our room was clean and comfortable (including the bed, which is always a bonus). We wondered whether the street would be noisy overnight but it was surprisingly quiet so we had a good night's sleep. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again for a short stay.

Location and budget friendly

Wifi when it worked was fine, but could be intermittent.

Some people have left negative reviews about this place, without reading/checking the hotel's specific policies, mainly to do with closing at 1am for the night, mentioning that there were no lifts, and leaving your room key every time you go out. I found these very easy to understand and had no issues with. them. Location is excellent, just yards away from Gare du Nord main line and metro station. The people who run the hotel are also very lovely. Yes, the rooms are basic, but functional. Again no issues here as a solo traveller. It might (definitely would) have been a tight squeeze for more people!

Budget hotel near the train station. Nothing fancy but clean, nice bed and great location for easy access to the train.

No coffee/water amenities in the room but for the price one cannot ask too much

Clean, good size room for Parisian standards, just next to gare du nord

I did not mind, but some people might find it difficult to carry their luggage up a narrow staircase to their room. The Hotel does not open before 8 am. It is possible to leave but not to re-enter in case you forgot something. At present, at least, there is not breakfast served. However there a many restaurants in the neighborhood that serve early breakfast.

superb location for a short stay in Paris: very close to both Gare de Nord, Gare de l'Est and to Metro Statons; very accommodating and friendly owners, quiet and clean room,.

No lift for people with walking difficulties no breakfast available which was known in advance. Basic hotel for an overnight stay. No access to the hotel after 1am. Which again is notified when booking.

Close to Gare du Nord where I wanted to be for onward travel the next morning. Nice room which was at the back of the hotel as per my request for quietness.

Locations is good. Reaturants around and very close to gare du nord.

Very close access to Gare du Nord/metro, but not noisy. Reception was good, coffee available in bar downstairs, room reasonable size for Paris, not too many stairs (no lift) and bathroom was fine. Very clean and no problems at all.

Not much space to hang stuff / put stuff in bathroom It's pretty common for Euro places, but not much ventilation in bathroom As mentioned in other reviews, you can hear all the fun the other rooms are having very easily at night :)

Location - ideal for accessing early morning trains from Gare d'lest All the basics in a tiny room Basic toiletries supplied Owner is present during business hours to manage key access to room.

The bed had a long bolster, no regular pillows. At least one pillow would be good.

Very convenient location, across the road from Gare du Nord. The room is cosy, perfect for one but fine for two. The room was clean, had shelving, a table and chair, a small closet to hang clothes and even a TV. The bathroom was tiny but for a short stay it's fine.

Nothing really. As indicated above, the facilities are basic, which isn't an issue for me. The hotel doesn't have a 24 hour reception, there is a "curfew" at 1:00am and if you leave before 8:00am in the morning you have to let yourself out. For me, none of this was the slightest inconvenience.

The hotel's location is perfect for the Gare du Nord and Montmartre. It is a traditional French hotel with the basics necessary for a comfortable short stay - it was just what I expected and what I enjoy about a night in Paris. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great. What the hotel is not is a modern, international "business" hotel with international TV, all the bells and whistles. I didn't try the wifi.
