We booked hotel l’Avenir initially due to the good first impression of the clean modern rooms and bathrooms. We were not disappointed, a lovely little French café with rooms upstairs, but very professional, staff were lovely, location fabulous and the area lovely too. Hotel very modern. Key points: LOCATION we were warned by the taxi driver who picked us up from gare du Nord that the area we were going to was not the best at night and we should be careful, I would please ask you all to form your own opinion on the area as it is quaint and lovely and has a fabulous church and immaculate park next to the hotel, if I’m honest I suspect the taxi drivers warn every tourist of this to encourage them to use the paris taxi system and put money in their pocket, I’m sure there’s bad there like anywhere, but all we saw was good. There’s a Monop’ supermarket 3 minutes walk from the hotel which is open till 21:30 for buying whatever is needed as it is a substantial supermarket. There is food and cafe available in the hotel, and le montmartre bistro across the crossroads offers food and drinks also. TRANSPORT: transport connections, it is very close (across 1 road) to the local metro station - Garibaldi. From here you can easily reach any Paris attraction or destination with 1 change on the metro system, or 2 maximum. Only thing to be aware of is that on an evening on the way back to the hotel, the trains get very busy as the location of garibalidi station is on the University St-Denis line, so all the students travel back late on an evening. Buses also run from Garibaldi bus stop. ROOMS our room was spacious and had a tv, wardrobe, hard floors, bedside tables with lamps, and a small desk with a chair next to a plug socket. The room was modern and clean and bedding was fresh and beds made daily/housekeeping provided with toilet roll etc, extra blanket provided in the wardrobe. No fan provided or available. BATHROOM: We booked a room with a bathroom included (with WC) these are all on the 3rd floor, and doncoat €10 extra per night, rooms on floor 1 and 2 have a communal toilet, but do have hand washing and shower facilities in the rooms. Bathroom modern, clean, towels changed daily, toilet roll always full. GENERAL HOTEL There is NO LIFT, this was fine for us however it is advertised as having one, which is incorrect and the stairs are very steep. There is a disabled persons room available on the ground floor. You can access the hotel through the café until 12 midnight, after that you must use the side door which requires the daily code they will provide you with on check in. Staff friendly and speak a good amount of English dependant on who you get, can’t fault the staff. Free WIFI provided The hotel organises live music every night which is strictly finished by ten, we heard absolutely no noise after that time and the rooms were well soundproofed. You do not get a key the doors are locked and a code is given for you to access your room, this is gre
