This reasonably priced hotel is about half-way between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon - about 35 minutes walk from each using the paper map from the hotel check-in counter. A small, clean, friendly, older hotel, with good beds, an elevator, and optional breakfast, it is near many cafés, restaurants, bakeries, small food stores - and close to the spectacular (linear park) Blvds Richard Lenoir and Jules Ferry (with a canal). Nearby Metro (line #) stations at Oberkampf (5)(9), Goncourt (11), Parmentier (3), Couronnes (2). Wifi is best in the lobby.
