Guest Reviews

Craig (6/5): - Room was ok size for family. Location great near train station. Bed comfy. Bathroom tiny. Breakfast; skip that. Were told avail till 11am, arrived about 9:45 and told no more scrambled eggs. Plenty of cafe up the road towards Montemarte. Good luggage storage service.
Audrey Armelle (2/5): - This property was not nice.. the picture they had online was not what I saw physically in person. The bed was horrible. I paid for superior room the bed was two twin size bed put together and when you sleep on it at night it will split up .. this hotel I do-not recommend it to anybody..the staff were rude
Noelle (6/5): - Rooms were clean yet worn. The carpets and paint are all fading. The neighborhood is not ideal but was fine. Close to the metro was a plus. Walking around the neighborhood felt a bit nerve wracking
Alexandra (4/5): - Tatty hotel. No hot water when arrived and also later had to ask a second time to have it repaired. Carpets are filthy. Bathroom with mould. Staff very nice but the place is basic NOT A 3 STAR HOTEL I will not be staying there again for that price
sara (10/5): - My partner and I had a lovely time. The room was comfortable, clean and well lit. The carpet reminded us of Twin peaks - which we love very dearly. Would recommend staying here!
James (4/5): Good for Eurostar but a bit a shabby. - The hotel is located a five min walk from Eurostar terminal, which was excellent. The entrance from the street was not easy to find and was general shabby, as was reception. The staff were friendly, but on arrival noted that due to their environment policy they would not clean the room for four days! This was clearly green washing to save them money. Stairs and lift to the room were stained and shabby. We had a balcony room which was ok. The balcony was small but you could sit out and admire the area. If you put it in another hotel it may have scored better, but the whole place looked like it needed a refresh.
Maggie (10/5): - We wanted a room near train station. This was convenient, and early in morning there were food places on the way to the station. Clean room and hot water
Tiffany (6/5): - Overall our stay at the Avalon was okay. The location was convenient to the trains and bus, the area was okay. Not super nice, nor super scary. A few blocks over, things get sketchy and I would not recommend traveling alone as a woman. Our issue with the hotel is a simple one that could have been resolved, but unfortunately it was not. We had absolutely no hot water to shower with the entire stay. Each day we would let the staff know (in the morning and at night), and each day we would be told that the maintenance person would fix it, or that we needed to shower at a different time (!) and or that the manager was not on site and wouldn’t be there for a few days. Ugh Taking cold showers, when it is cold outside, on your honeymoon is not the best. Getting the runaround from staff, also not the best. I will say that the staff was pleasant, and very good at avoiding the issue. lol
B (8/5): Good hotel - Room was very clean staff were helpful and friendly esp the staff at reception. I didn’t need the Aircon.
Ravi (10/5): - Good hospitality
Hui (2/5): Bad experience - Made special request since July . When checking in the staff laughed off as the request was made so long ago. No hot water for 3 days from day one checking in, but the manager made an excuse and indicated we were lying as there was only no hot water the day before. We had to argue to check out the hotel as no offer to upgrade to the other half of the building which there was hot water. Guests had no hot water were offered free breakfast. So bad luck to us as we had breakfast included. No refund on that either. Front desk staff could not do anything but kept saying needing to wait for the manager. As moving out no refund on the prepaid city tax as claimed it’s already in part of the room price refund ( 15% less as the booking platform OTA ). Avoid this hotel.
Sian (6/5): - This hotel is located really close to Gare du Nord so really convenient for an early train out. But if that wasn’t a priority would choose elsewhere. We had a quadruple room which was one of a small number that faced the back of the hotel so was relatively quiet. I imagine most other rooms were very noisy onto the main road. Even as a quadruple room it was small and bathroom was tiny. Guests were noisy in the corridor throughout the night. But bed was comfy!
Victoria (4/5): - Bad condition of bedroom door . Cards will not work . Poor state of lifts and limited staff
J (4/5): - The room quite small, carpet needs chaging and hotel doors extremely old. Staff though are friendly and breakfast were ok. The best about this hotel is the location. Its on main road easy to get to and from Gare du Nord station. But will we return in future. I think its a better offer out there for the same price.
Lyly (10/5): - The staff is super friendly and the room was clean. Loved the area.
Tracey (8/5): - The room was as advertised, with a lovely balcony to take in the sights over the Parisian rooftops. The kinder egg sweet under one of the chairs was an unusual surprise, along with the freezing cold shower, no matter how long we ran the water for, still no hot water. So a little disappointed on the room itself but the location/distance to the Metro and Sacre Couer and it's night time vibe was second to none.
Vincent (10/5): - Great spot, very friendly and helpful staff, a good night’s sleep and fine breakfast to set us up for exploring all Paris had to offer
Melanie (10/5): - Friendly staff. Very helpful and kind. Late checkout and Air Conditioning!!! Will definitely return.
Verified traveler (10/5): Close to Gare du Nord - A great hotel close to Gare du Nord; very handy for the Eurostar. Our room was cosy but clean and had everything we needed for the brief overnight stay. We liked the little balcony overlooking Boulevard de Magenta. It is also very handy for walking up to Montmartre where we went for dinner and to walk around the park and basilica.
Larry Dale (6/5): - Serviceable hotel in relatively convenient location. Expect small rooms. Did not buy breakfast, so cannot comment. Could use more quality dining options nearby.
Bryony (4/5): - The property is very comvenient if arriving by train/eurostar. It has fa taatic tranaport links but unfortunately thats where the good news ends! The area is dirty, smells of urine aLOT and a lot of homeless and intoxicated people. We stayed for 2 nights and I lost count of the amount of times i manouvered around someone who had passed out in the street or was being sick or under the influence. The hotel decided to clean whilst people were having breakfast beinjng out the hoover and nearly tripping people up which seemed bizarre behaviour. Lastly the room walls ans windows are waifer thin. You can hear everything next door and outside. We didnt have a sound night sleep once not ideal when you are out sighaeeing all day and you just want rest. No hot water in the bathroom either so cold showers, sleepless loud nights and dirty area which does not counteract the convenience of the location unfortunately.
John (8/5): - Staff were generally excellent. Special mention of Maeva who was friendly, super helpful and very welcoming. She made a big difference to our stay. Breakfast was very good at €10 pp. location close to Gare du Nord is great coming from CDG.
Tyler (10/5): - Perfect location near the main train station made travel around the city so easy lovely room too.
Ben (10/5): - Room was perfect for somewhere to sleep, staff were multilingual and super helpful. Easy walk from Gare Du Nord. Bus station right outside for easy access into central Paris.
Orlando (8/5): - The staffs we dealt with were outstanding. They are Nadia, Michael and Stefan’s.
Ryan (8/5): - After 9pm the surrounding area is a little sketchy feeling.
Lisa (8/5): - The hotel is in need of repair and maintenance. Hotel was charming and good service. Clean and quiet. Staff were friendly.
Raquel (10/5): - It is in a central location. It can get a bit noisy.
Sanjoy (4/5): - We had a bad experience for hotel I had a booking room was medium size Anyway, checking they give me very Very small room There is no closet one only small Chair and the small table The room was very small and cannot move in there Bathroom was very very small Who is staying for night? We ask them to clean the room and bathroom The clean room, but they don’t change the bed cover Bathroom was stinky they don’t clean the bathroom I asked Front Desk to clean the bathroom , but no one come to the cleaning bathroom after two days they come to clean the room They did not change the cloud and Abdin the door was open. They don’t close properly after the cleaning whoever did the clean the door was unlocked. I came from the outside and then the door was open. They didn’t lock it. I already notified to the front desk !
Annaceli (6/5): - You don't want to be outside when it gets dark. The pictures online are much better than in person. We discovered bedbugs on night one at 2am. We were placed in another room, but we had to throw away clothing to minimize that risk. The next bedroom had moldy shower. The cards access kept being deactivated at least once a day. In comparison to the pictures online, I was highly disappointed. The only positive experience was the staff. The staff was accommodating and did their best to accommodate us.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Really clean, very friendly staff and fantastic air conditioning. But otherwise the room was quite small and in need of repairs (chipped walls, loose lamps) and had only the basics.
wanda (10/5): - Loved the hotel! Comfortable
Venkatasrivani (8/5): - Good breakfast
Sandra (8/5): - I enjoyed this property quite a lot love the little balcony was nice that it had an elevator and air-conditioning would stay here again, even though the staff could be more friendly, and the facilities did not have proper functioning vending machines several times we tried to get water from the bending machine only to find that it charged us and the staff had no way to refund our change or credit card. We did not use the restaurant so cannot comment on that. Showered in cold water until we figured out that they had to let the hot run for quite a long time before the hot came in no surprise though it is an older building and we were on the third floor. Lots to see in the area mostly quiet except for road noise, but even that didn’t bother us too badly only the occasional siren thank you for the stay hope one day to visit again.
Christian (8/5): Great Hotel, just get your own taxis! - We asked for reception to book us a taxi from the hotel to Gare Paris St Lazare and were quoted 45 euro, I thought it was a lot but went with it. When we returned from Normandy we caught a taxi at the station back to the hotel and it was only 11.70 euro. I will leave you to make your own mind up about a rip off!!! Other than that they were very friendly and helpful and the bed was very comfortable.
Nnenna (8/5): Nice Hotel - I enjoyed my stay at the Avalon, even though it was one night, the staff were friendly and very helpful. I will definitely stay again. The hotel was very accessible from Gare du Nord and it was easy getting around the city attractions.
Enada Elizabeth (10/5): - Good value for money. Friendly and helpful staff
Facundo (10/5): - Très bonne séjour!
David (4/5): - Needs work
Gabriel (6/5): - It should be a two star hotel
Michael (10/5): - Easy to get to from Gare Du Nord. Fast access to trains and all attractions. Area isn't the greatest at night, but could just feel that way as nothing actually happened while there and no bad street experiences. Recommend for its value and proximity
Sam (8/5): - Handy location to catch trains including Eurostar. 2 bedroom setup was convenient which included kitchenette. Thank you.
Penny (10/5): - This is a wonderful location for access to the Nord train station which will take you anywhere in Paris or Europe. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to store our luggage for free while we enjoyed our last day in Paris. Rooms are small but clean and all you need.
Lyndsay (8/5): - The area around the hotel looks a little scary if you go one direction but if you go the other direction it's less scary. The staff did tell us not to walk around at night. The hotel is in the midst of a renovation/refresh so areas were covered in plastic and you could hear people sanding and painting. So it was a little messy with patchy walls but it will look better soon. The room was small but clean, the street is noisy with sirens but they leave ear plugs on the night stand for you. The staff was great. Breakfast was good with a lot of variety.
Mathieu (10/5): - J'ai été vraiment impressioné de l'hotel Avalon. Pour le prix de la chambre on a eu un séjour spectaculaire dans le centre de la ville phénoménale de Paris.
Marc (8/5): - Nice friendly staff. Hotel was fine. Was only using it as a base to sleep at. Convenient for transport links.
Gladys (10/5): - I loved the area and it was close to both the metro and the bus.
Kimberly (10/5): Overall Very Comforable. Will Stay Here Again. - I travelled alone and stayed for only one night and it was comfortable. The only concern is that my Uber driver said it's not a reputable area so I wouldn't walk alone here at night. I am a woman. We have to think about things that male-identifying people don't have to think about.
Sarah (2/5): - Shabby, noisey and dirty
julie (8/5): - Room was lovely and clean. Bed turn down service only once. Limited refreshments in room. Toilet in reception dirty. Reception staff mostly very helpful and friendly.
Karen (8/5): - We had a good 1-night stay and the room was just as pictured online. The room faced the back of the hotel so no view but also no street noise. The room & bathroom were clean, though showed wear and tear. Staff were friendly and showed us how to use the small unique elevator. I don’t think we would like this hotel for many nights. But it is very close to Gare du Nord and not too far to walk to Montmarte and Sacre Coeur. There are lots of shops and restaurants around.
Franziska (10/5): Nice - Small room, clean, nice breakfast, laid back staff. We liked the possibility to buy an extended check- out, it would even have been nicer if the cleaning staff would have been informed about it. Very good sound protection windows, very quiet despite being on a busy street. Very close to the train station. Overall: recommend for the price
Tyler (6/5): - Staff was very nice, good price, close to the train station but quality of the hotel was so-so.
Joseph (10/5): - Staff extremely helpful and multi-lingial. Tiny lift.
Simon (10/5): - Excelente!!
Oliverne (8/5): All was well - Everything was good, thank you! Not all the sockets worked in the room so we couldn’t charge our phones, but overall it was pretty good! Thank you
Suzanne (6/5): - Friendly and helpful reception staff, having a clean room with a safe and it's closeness to transport links (5 minute walk to train or metro) were the positives. Stair areas and halls were filthy. Walls are paper thin and the noise level of people shutting doors and talking was high. There were ear plugs provided however not everyone can or should wear these. The area itself late at night felt unsafe. Didnt take any photos of the room as was disappointed and wasn't what we expected.
Janet (6/5): - Convenient for Gare de Nord but not the best area of Paris
simon (4/5): - assigned to a room in the attic of the property without elevator access to the room. dirty carpets, dont know who is really working there when the staffs are not in the same standard uniforms.
Claudia (2/5): - Bad hotel, don’t go
Jordan (10/5): - I recommend
James (6/5): - Good hotel with great location for the metro and trains
Brian (10/5): - Staff very helpful and accommodating
Emilia (8/5): - It was very safe, convenient and comfortable place!
Aryal (10/5): - While the staff was helpful, and the room was clean. The property needs updated and it does exist in a neighborhood known for pickpocketing even my taxi driver warned me of this area.
ILONA (8/5): Good place to stay - The stay in this hotel was fine if you look for a place where is average this is a good choice. There was problem with hot water in the morning, as I needed to run water for over 10 minutes to become warm to take shower. The hotel is next to busy streets when windows are closed the noise didn't bother my sleep so im very happy with. Overall good place to stay depends on what you expect.
Hans (8/5): Disappointed - Extremely limited coffee and tea supplies. Not even enough for one day’s stay
Patricia (6/5): Convenient location but noisy. - The room was comfortable and clean. However, the street noise kept us awake - despite the hotel supplying ear plugs. Very convenient for onward travel from Gare du Nord.
Fran (8/5): - Brilliant location - pretty much opposite Gare du Nord. Room was small but clean. Walls are paper thin though, so not ideal if you're a light sleeper.
Joelle (10/5): - Caring friendly staff. Hotel walkable distance to Stations, Metro, Sacre Coeur, Canal St Martin, Pigalle. Blvd Magenta is Heaven for couples shopping for their wedding outfits!
ARIF (2/5): - Staff was rude. There is not much in breakfast. Room was not ready by 3 PM
Ulrike (10/5): - Our room was small but perfect! It was on a corner had a lovely view of tree tops with a balcony, table and chairs. Great breakfast, great restaurants nearby, great public transport, walking dulistance to the Gare-du-Nord train station. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!
MD (10/5): - The room.was clean comfortable - a little small for what we get in the USA but we understand. The hotel was at a very convenient location - close to Gare du Nord, metro, bus, restaurants. Breakfast was good.
Ricardo (8/5): - This is an older hotel but it has undergone renovation in the past. The staff were professional and polite. The room was adequate and had a small balcony overlooking the street. Everything was clean. The breakfast they offer in the morning was very good and the seating area includes outside tables. It is close to Gare du Nord so transportation to anywhere in Paris including the airport is fast and convenient. I would stay here on another trip to Paris.
Alexa (10/5): - Good location!
Naraiyan (6/5): - It was a nice place and friendly staff
Rosie (10/5): - The location was noisy and yet very convenient...so you need to decide on priorities. Its close to the train station and Sacre Cour.
Oscar (10/5): - It received good service.
Ricardo (6/5): - The hotel is a little run down , the rooms very small , and the area very very scketchy at night if you know what i mean . But i must say the lobby personnel were very helpful and courteous and friendly 😀
Rachel (8/5): - Great staff, great location for traveling via train. Hotel is clean and would need some update on the common areas, but overall nice and clean !! I would come back again
Mark (10/5): - Good location and helpful staff. Clean
Heather (8/5): - Nice hotel, staff very friendly and the room was lovely
Veneta (2/5): - Very disappointed with expedias recommendation of this property. We arrived our room was assigned went to the room and it was under construction with workmen actually in the room working on the ceiling. Then the front desk clerk tried to reassign another room and we got stuck in the elevator. No cleaning service, no supplies. Worst hotel experience I have ever had.
Beryl (8/5): - Shower is small and curtain allows water into bathroom. Missing tiles on floor of bathroom. But other than that it was good. Short walk from the train station. Great breakfast buffet at a good price.
Karen (8/5): - the staff was wonderful. the location absolutely excellent. easy walk to gare nord with so many really good restaurants. This hotel did what we needed it to, give us a place to rest up before leaving from Gare Nord.. We were put on the 6th floor, the elevator only goes to the 5th floor so we had to carry our luggage up a spiral filght of stairs. The elevator is very small so we had to wait a long time to be able to get on it both days. Being on the top floor the ceiling slanted so my husband could only walk on one side of the room. very small room. The tub is in the room and the stopper was broken. The shower room leaked on the floor and soaked everything. Very noisy street at night. We had to keep the window open because it was so hot and there is no air or fan. We were there two nights. Not a horrible experience but for the price we had hoped to at least not have to sclepp our bags. But, can't complain about the location at all….and again, the staff was very nice.
LukeM832 (10/5): Excellent location , friendly and accommodating staff and large family rooms - We stayed her on our way back home from Disney. Very convenient for the gate du nord. Staff were brilliant and the hotel looked after our luggage all day while we looked around Paris. Rooms were large and clean. Our family room had two TVs which the children loved. I would recommend this hotel
Ana Clarisse (10/5): - Breakfast was excellent. The staff was friendly and accommodating and even allowed us to store our luggage up to the next day so we could explore the beauty of Paris. I really appreciate it.
Vivian (8/5): - Staff was helpful but hotel was run down.
johnstonav (2/5): Seeing is not believing. - Don't believe the photos you see. This is one run down tired hotel. It's like a Frankenstein hotel all a mish mash of pieced together stuff. The only good thing I can say about it is that it does have an elevator. If you are on a limited budget, I suppose it would do.
Violeta abigail (6/5): Good location poor design and comfort - The rooms are very small For the price, the overall look is dated it. The walls are thin; we could listen to people from other rooms. The customer service is excellent.
Nadine (8/5): - Compact hotel with small, but clean rooms. Handily close to the station and helpful staff.
Aziza (6/5): An okay stay. - We arrived at 8am on April 16 in hopes there maybe an early check in. Sadly not, so we left our bags at front desk and went to explore a bit after a long flight and a bit tired. We were told by Arseny our room would be ready anytime between noon and 3pm. We pre paid for a balcony room. We came back to the hotel at 1pm and it still wasn't ready and waited another hour. We explained we'd been traveling for 24 hrs and would appreciate a room to check in as now we were exhausted. At 2.30pm, a balcony room was given to us however.......... when we went up to the room on the 5th floor and scanned our room key, two of your guests were already occupying the room, naked in bed. It was very embarrassing, at this point we were even more exhausted and just wanted a room to check in... We now had to go back down to the front desk and we explained everything to Arseny at front desk and then he finally got us room 402 around 3pm however it was not a balcony. Another incident- is that we asked for shower gel and only got it 2 days later after asking again as we were completely out. Luckily Arseny had some at the front desk. The location was great as well as your staff- after talks with management, they gave us a 15% discount.. woo hoo????
Debra (10/5): - Clean and accommodating when possible, super close to Gare du Nord, which was exactly where I wanted to be:)
Kohul (6/5): - Hotel was nice (basically down the block from Gare du Nord), room was cozy, bathroom was clean, the breakfast was good as well. Only issue is, I paid extra up front when booking via Expedia for the breakfast option, which increased my price for 1 night from $144 to $151 I believe, and I was informed I had to pay a city tax of 5.53 euros upon check in, which is fine. But when I arrived I was told I had to pay for the breakfast option as well, meaning I got charged like 12 euros instead. Not sure for the reason of the double charge, but that's something I'm not happy with.
Nan (6/5): - While the hotel is trying to be eco friendly, it's the first time I had a hotel room where the hand soap and shower gel dispensers were empty. While yes it's easy to call to ask for it to be filled but we checked in late and had to head back out for dinner so didn't have time to ask. Lucky we had our own to use. It's just really inconvenient and I don't understand how not filling them is being eco friendly. The location is great as it's close to the train station to get to CDG airport. There are a lot of low cost dining options ( ie. fast food) but it's a little noisier given the train station and traffic outside but we knew that before booking. We just wanted to be close to the train station for the flight home.
Armin (4/5): - Doesn’t quite meet a 3-star hotel rating. A bit poorly maintained
Nancy (6/5): - Like most 2- or 3-star hotels in Paris, the space was relatively small—from the room and bathroom to the elevator and beds. It was spring, but the weather was already quite warm, and unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn’t operating yet. We had to keep the window open, which let in a lot of outside noise. Still, after long days of walking, we managed to get some rest. Paris is an expensive city overall, so the price we paid felt fair enough for what we got.
Ester (4/5): - My room 502 wifi was extremely poor even after several request staff did nothing. I had no tv with signal since it might have been connected to internet as well. Very sad. Staff not open to suggestion.
Eric (2/5): - First room: no hot water. Second room: no electricity. The soundproofing is nonexistent. You can see daylight through some doors and easily follow conversations from next door. Better soundproofing of the doors and windows would surely help. Both our keycards had to be reprogrammed several times during the stay. An annoiance that could have been avoided. Judging from the wear and tear of the keycards, they are just tired. No, we did not have our phones and keycards in the same pockets. On the last night of our stay, no running water from 17:30 to our departure the following morning at 10 a.m. Apologies from staff but they did not give us access to another room with water. Was not even offered a bottle of water or any comp. We left for the airport and then a 7.5H flight without a shower. No management on-site Saturday morning when we left, so I filed the written complaint form. 5 days later, I have not heard back from Hotel Management. I stayed at the property 3 times in the last 2 years. But given the issues on this trip and the lack of response from management, it's my last stay at Avalon or Avalon Cosy.
Joanna (6/5): - It was very close to gare du nord train station
