Avalon Hotel Paris Gare du Nord by Hiphophostels

The staffs were very kind and supportive

There were no intact appliances in the room. The telephone didn't work, the cap of an electric kettle was broken, Besides, washbasin blocked twice during our stay. Free toiletries were not enough every day. Toilet paper ran out every morning that stressed us out a lot, they put shampoo and body washes only every 2 days instead of every day which was not enough for 3 of us. Wi-fi was useless. I had to use the roaming instead. Traffic around the hotel was terrible.

Our room are not installed with aircon and there wasn't any portable kettle for us to make our own hot drinks and baby milk. It is a hassle for us everytime we need a hot water, we have to go down to the level 1 and ask the staff for the hot water. And we were given a room at level 6 with no lift to go up cos the lift access is up to level 5 and i need to climb 1 level up with 2 luggage, a baby with me and a stroller.dissappointed with the service, hotel and staff as well.

Very good location, close to Gare du Nord. Staff was very helpful. Ordered us a shuttle transfer to airport because metro/train was unavailable because of the strikes in Paris.

One of us got bitten by some sort of parasites in the night

The breakfast spread was great. Good location for Gare du Nord.

The room had terrible lighting, the maid service sometimes didn’t come and service the room, the heating was stuck at a high setting, making the room too hot, there was drilling going on in the walls from 7:30 every morning which woke us up. The location on a busy street with light and siren sounds was loud and uncomfortable.

The hotel was in a great location within walking distance to the metro and cool bars/restaurants.

We had a very negative experience here. Our room smelled of sewage and/or dead animal in the wall. When we complained the night attendant did nothing to help, except spray a deodorizer and then said they we could not even keep the bottle for the night.
