Avalon Hotel Paris Gare du Nord

Good and Bad. Hotel is conveniently near to Gare Du Nord. Within 5 mins walk. Things to consider if travelling with young baby. The lift is very small. You really have to squeeze into the lift with the Babyzen yoyo pram. Larger prams won't fit. No baby changing facilities in hotel, so if you don't have your room ready or checked out, floor is the only option. Double bed + single bed room is actually 2 single mattresses pushed together, had to leave the duvet as bedding and use single bed duvet. Crack in the middle is not comfortable and should have said so in the listing. Wouldn't have booked it otherwise. AC doesn't work, it blew only hot air and controller did not work except On OFF and speed of fan. Shower curtain will give you cold shocks. Because shower is so narrow when you having shower the curtain will keep hitting you as there is a draft in the bathroom. If you are a big person you are definitely striking your arms on the wall, since with the curtain it is only 80 x 60cm shower space. We only spent a night, all was acceptable as trying to change room will always fail so didn't bother. Left the bathroom window a little bit open to let some cool air in. I would considering staying here again if it's just 1 night as price was acceptable and I couldn't find something else better condition travelling alone but not with a young baby. 2 single mattresses pushed together and to stay with a baby is in my opinion bit dangerous and that's what the hotel gave for the booking. Hotel staff were nice and friendly in interaction.

Gare du nord is what it is, hotel was nice, tight corridors, interesting elevator, great looking staiwell.

Great location, clean rooms and good breakfast. Would recommend for a weekend getaway. Thank you!
