Hotel Du Pre Paris, Paris

The hotel offers comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a convenient location near Gare du Nord. The dining could be improved, but overall, it's a good value for money option in Paris.

Staying on the 2nd floor provided a decent experience at the hotel. The rooms were bright and quiet, offering views that matched the website's impression. However, being a couple, we would have preferred a bed together. The location was very convenient, close to Gare du Nord and the bustling Rue Cadet, while the service, although welcoming, had some staff smoking near the entrance. The dining was good overall, even included in the rate, with room for improvement. An excellent value for the price paid.

The hotel's charm lies in its comfortable beds, great bathrooms with both a shower and a bath available upon request for a small fee. However, the standard rooms were not as impressive as expected from the online pictures.

The hotel has undergone a fresh renovation to reflect what was shown on their site. Although the usual buffet breakfast had limited varieties and drinks were lacking, we opted to get coffee elsewhere. The rooms smelled bad but were freshly renovated.

As a solo traveler, my 3-night stay at the hotel was comfortable despite the lack of AC in the rooms and some unpleasant smells. The location on a quiet side street near Gare du Nord RER and metro made it convenient, but the breakfast offerings were limited in variety.
