Pros:

Hotel right across the road from the railway station so ideal for a one night stay before or after your train. Staff helpful and was given a large room with comfortable twin beds. Room and bathroom was clean apart from black hairs on the sofa, possibly dog hairs. Plenty of bars and restaurants round the hotel.

Pros:

The location was ideal for the train station and the price was really good. However, it was a bit strange that we needed to hand in our key every time we left for the day. Also, I don’t mind the only fashioned decor however the old shower door was broken and in the bathroom also was a strange grate on the ceiling. We also were only provided with half a loo roll and had to resort to regular boxed tissue. Lastly, on our morning of checkout whilst tidying the bed, we found a bed bug crawling along the sheets.

Pros:

This is one of the better relatively inexpensive hotels near a capital city's mainline railway stations literally opposite Gare du Nord and a few minutes walk to Gare de l'Est

In spite of being in a busy area, you can still get a good night's sleep

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED
Pros:

Only staying in Paris for the one night, we wanted somewhere inexpensive and near to the Gare du Nord. The hotel was much better than anticipated, and the beds really comfortable! Late check out of 11.30 an unexpected bonus. Great!

Pros:

It is not fair for the management not to provide a fan in the room. There is no air-condition, no fan. The room was extremely hot. Once i opened the windows, flies visited the room. They need to consider air-condition or fan.

The room was ok! However, when i booked the room, the details said " single room with double bed". When i got the hotel, I was given a single room with single bed. The room was not even numbered. May be the room number fell off and they didn't care to put it back. I was not happy that the room on the advert was not the room given to me. The room on the advert was totally different from the room i was given!!! I reported this but the reception desk told me that Expedia made wrong adverts. I chatted with someone from Expedia, the person said their advert was correct but it wasn't!!! I was told that they will get back to me after speaking to the management but they didn't. They supposed to refund me some money because the room i paid for was not given to me!!!

Overall, the place is good for transportation!!! The receptionist was good and helpful. The rooms are cleaned everyday. Will I use the place again? I may !!!

Recommendations 1. Update the charging sockets with with USB port (sockets type).2. Provide a fan in the room or air conditioner. 3. The window has no protection and it supposed to! 4. Bed should have at least two pillows. ( one pillow is not enough). 5. There is need to have channels that speaks English on the TV. Good luck.

Pros:

O Hotel está em frente à estação de trem/metro. O quarto é minúsculo, o banheiro quase não dá pra utilizar de tão pequeno, atendimento precário (não recomendo) e me cobraram 10 euros para guardar minha mala por 2 horas.

Pros:

Basic hotel right opposite Gare du Nord.
Despite the poor reviews we found our room to be adequate with clean sheets, a comfortable bed and a warm shower. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Fine for a short stay.

Very bad hotel - do not book!
Pros:

DO NOT BOOK HERE. I booked for 4 nights in Paris, $480, and ended up having to book another hotel because this one was so bad. The manager was very rude and refused to offer me ANY sort of refund.

Great location however won’t return ever. Booked for proximity to Gare du Nord. No AC and service. iPhone missing.
Pros:

I had booked and paid in advance for the “best room” 76 which had no AC so be prepared for noise when windows are open during hot months. The sink was clogged up and there was no extra loo rolls.

Free wifi only allowed for one device at a time. My iPhone is missing. The last boss is unaware she has dishonest and knowing staff.

Also I was charged for luggage storage for 2 nights prior to arrival despite . They are the only hotel who do not respond back to emails.

Lastly, they switched the airport shuttle time at the last minute so I had to book a taxi directly on the morning of my departure. I am quite sure the receptionist arranged a kickback for that.

Perfect for 1 night
Pros:

Great location, right across from the station. Rooms are small and basic, so not great for more than 1 night. Very close to cafes and restaurants, so noisy at night. We walked to Montmarte and then also to Notre Dame. It’s a budget hotel, and that is what you get, but close to everything.
There is a lift!!!

Pros:

Location is very convenient, right next to Gare du Nord train station. The shower had not curtain nor glass door, so it could get quite messy with every shower.

Bad weekend stay at Picardy Hotel Paris
Pros:

We booked a twin room but got a double, changed but they forgot to tell us the toilet didn't flush. We complained and were told no fixing was available. Following day housekeeping were extremely rude when asking for a clean towel! Wouldn't stay again!

Worst 15 mins of our lives
Pros:

Arrived in Paris at 14:49, walked a short distance to the hotel for our 15:00 check in, the room wasn’t ready and were asked to go away and come back in hour. So we went for a walk locally to check out shops etc, about an hour and half later we arrived back ready for check in. The room was disgusting, hairs on bedding, layers of dust, bathroom light not working… the list is endless. I sat on the uncomfortable bed and we decided it was better just to go back to London, 19:57 we were on a train and booking a premier inn in London for the night.

Do not stay at this hotel.
Pros:

I can’t even begin to tell all the reasons you should avoid this place, so just don’t stay there. The only redeeming factor was closeness to Gare du Nord station which is why we chose it. If I had read the reviews I would not have booked it. I cannot stress enough that even though it is economical, it IS NOT WORTH IT.

Pros:

The hotel is really close to the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l‘ Est. I am not sure, however, why it holds the status of a hotel. It’s more on the level of a hostel, very basic. Such is also the breakfast. It was okay for a functional stay but that’s it.
