Basic but great location and views
Property was generally comfortable but very basic. The lack of extra comforts and the small rooms are made up for by the view up to the Sacre Coeur.

Room with an amazing view. Can be quite noisy at night from the traffic but the verandah door was sound proof so that was ok. Central location.

The location of the hotel was good, but the staff were very unfriendly. The rooms were overall below a average; very tiny, no room to move. Quite dissapointed for Paris.

Doesn’t look anything like the website photos! For instance - there s no window in the cafeteria. They give you trays for breakfast and watch you until your finished.

It was lower cost than other hotels in area. Superceeded our expectations. Could look at all the streets from balcony had three big windows. Room was very clean and twin beds were comfortable. We had 3 twin beds in room making it a very spacious room. Would stay there again. Fairly close to Gare Du Nord station and restaurants, souvenier shops.

This was the first time my husband and I had stayed in a 2 star hotel or in Montmartre so was unsure as to what it would be like, but I am pleased to say we were very pleasantly surprised. We asked for a room with a view and we certainly got that ! We were on the 6th floor which was accessible via stairs or a clean, well maintained 3 person lift. Yes the double room was small but the bed was comfortable and apart from not having any tea making facilities in the room it was absolutely fine for somewhere to crash after a days sight seeing. The bathroom was also small but had everything we needed. The shower was powerful and hot. We had 3 towels for a 4 days stay, they wasn’t changed during the stay but we survived. The rooms are not soundproofed so I would recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper ....... which is why I used, hubby was disturbed without earplugs though. We had doubled doors which opened onto a lovely balcony. These were brilliant for shutting out the busy road below. The view was absolutely amazing! Our room was directly in front of the Sacre-Coeur ........ it was breathtaking. The metro is over the road and the Gare du Nord is a 10 minute walk away. This hotel is a perfect no frills stay in a beautiful area and would highly recommend it..

This was a great value wit extremely easy access to trains, busses and the metro. Is is a few blocks from Sacre Coeur with a beautiful view of SC from our hotel room. We could also see the Eiffel Tower at a distance from our room We found a great little restaurant for dinner and several bread and coffee shops close too. The bathroom in our room was remodeled and had all we needed and a few extras like hair dryer. We would recommend this hotel and would stay there again when in Paris.

This hotel had very friendly and helpful staff. Although basic the hotel catered for our families needs and we would certainly stay there again. We had a fantastic view of Sacre couer. The metro was just a few meters walk and shops, aswell as 2 supermarkets were only a couple of minutes walk. We walked to the Louvre and other attractions with no problems taking around 30 minutes.

Fabulous location & view
Although quite old fashioned the hotel was traditional, perfectly clean with big rooms, lots of plug sockets, storage & a fabulous shower! We were delighted with the amazing view of Sacré Coeur & the brilliant location; in the heart of Montmartre & very close to the Metro. We will definitely return.

This is a great budget hotel. This is what you would get using a budget guidebook and finding a hotel in Paris 30 years ago. Note that this is NOT a fancy hotel with a lot of amenities; it is a basic budget option with no frills but is clean and has great views! We booked a room with a double bed and two singles (family of 4, with two small children 1 and 5). Baby cots were available for no charge, but we didn't get one. We only stayed one night and arrived early. They let us leave our bags as our room wasn't quite ready. Reception is 24 hours. There is a small lift which is nice when carrying bags. Our room was quite spacious (not a cramped London-style room) and the bathroom was big too. We were on the second floor and our window opened onto the street, which I suppose was bit noise (I wear earplugs). We had a view of Sacre Coeur from our window; can't beat that! There is a playground fro kids right next to the hotel and a metro stop convenient as well. We left at 645am for the airport and easily flagged down a taxi on the steet. I would stay here again, it is a good budget base for touring Paris. No kettle or coffee-makers in rooms. Breakfast is available for a fee, but we didn't buy it.

Stay away during the summer!
The hotel is walking distance from Sacrecour and metro where you can connect to everywhere. Nice neighborhoods if you stroll around. The rooms are small but they keep it clean. Cons: the rooms don't have A/C nor fans. It is really hot during the summer and it is impossible to sleep! If you're traveling with children, stay away. Morning staff are friendly (they helped with a fan for my room), night staff are less friendly. Overall, I was not comfortable during my stay, I would not recommend.

Good value hotel, great location, stunning views
I have stayed at Avenir before. I love it. Super friendly staff & an excellent location. I asked for a top floor room with a view & the hotel obliged....the view of Sacre Coeur was absolutely stunning & we had a cute little balcony with a chair. Double glazed windows cut out all street noise. There was very little noise from within the hotel either. It is easy walking distance from Gare du Nord & a couple of minutes walk to the heart of Montmartre. You can walk to the main shopping streets too. Lots of shops, eateries, bars &, despite being quite near Barbes Rochechouart, it is not a seedy area at all, we felt completely safe & comfortable. Our twin room was warm & clean, the beds were comfy and our bathroom looked to have been recently updated & with a very nice hot shower. Towels & bedding were good. This is a typical Parisian hotel, no frills but decent, safe, excellent value accommodation. We did not have breakfast in the hotel, got up too late... but there are loads of cafes around. Special mention goes to the reception and cleaning staff..all were friendly, smiling and welcoming..extra thanks to the lovely lady for chilling our Prosecco in the fridge!! We will stay here again when we visit Paris.

Great value. Wi-Fi needs improved.
Great location in Montmartre. Our room had a view of Sacre Couer. Metro across the street. Service was excellent. Wi-Fi was basically non existent, which was our only complaint. Fix that and the place would be ideal for the price.

My wife and I were traveling with our 4 months old. We wanted to leave as soon as we saw the room. The floor carpet and walls were dark red color with stain spots. The bed sheets felt especially gross. The manager was mean and aggressive. He refused to let us cancel the booking and tried to sell us a more expensive room. It was 8pm and raining outside but there was no way we would stay there. He ended up drove around in our rental and found another place. I probably won't use this website again but want to warn people DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. This place had the accents of a cheap brothel, please stay away.

Kind staff, convenient location
The hotel was in a convenient location between two metro stations, meaning all big tourist attractions were easy to get to. Saw previous reviews mention about rude staff, we did not encounter any at all, the lady that checked us in and was on reception a lot (I didn't catch her name) was lovely and kind. Generally the room was clean, and the maid service was good, the hotel was slightly outdated, and could do with a slight modernisation in terms of decoration - this didn't bother us in any way, just would be nice to have a simpler colour scheme. the walls are quite thin, meaning you can hear every flush of a toilet within the hotel, so maybe not the best hotel for any light sleepers. We personally got used to the noises after the first night. Overall would stay again, especially for such a good price, and was good enough for us (a group of four quiet 20 year olds).

Great location to metro
Rooms were old and needed a good freshen up. Location is excellent and across the road to the metro and very convenient to the airport rail. Breakfast for €6 wasn't worth the money. Certainly safe and providing your expectations are not high, the location convenience makes up for the room conditions.

Staff was never friendly in the 3 days we stayed there over various shifts. The area seems a little scary and loud. We didn't feel as safe as other areas in Paris. The room couldn't have been smaller. You could barely turn sideways in the bathroom...think airplane bathroom.
