Hotel Whistler - Gare du Nord

clean with nice decor, friendly & helpful staff especially Charles who had been such a wonderful & accommodative host indeed as we were there with our little puppy… spectacular service & beyond… in fact one of the staff also recommended nice italian restaurant…

Excellent location on a side street a very short walk from Gare de Nord (2/3 mins!). Perfect base for Eurostar and the metro to explore Paris. Small, stylish, very clean and comfortable. Loved the train theme throughout the hotel especially the seating. The bedrooms had complimentary filtered water replenished daily and lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Good quality bedding and towels. The buffet breakfast was excellent. A limited choice of hot food but the buffet included everything you would expect and want and there was plenty of it - you could just help yourself. Boiled eggs, cheeses, cold meats, salads mixed fresh fruit salad, yogurts, cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and lovely seeded bread as well as baguettes. Freshly squeezed orange juice and apple juice. Coffee was from a machine but was fine. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. The heating in the rooms was controlled by reception but you just need to ask to have it adjusted. It would have been helpful if we had been told this at check in. It was our wedding anniversary on Valentines day and the hotel decorated the bed, left cake and chocolates and gave us a complimentary voucher for a glass of champagne at Le Train Bleu restaurant. A lovely thoughtful touch. We’d asked for a quiet room which we had at the back of the hotel. It was lovely and quiet but not surprisingly a little small and dark so when we stay again we’ll go for one of the front facing rooms which were much brighter. We’d definitely stay again. Loved it. Exceptional service.

I was worried that being so close to Gare du Nord it might be noisy, but it was a short way up a side street off the main area in front of the station and my room faced the light well and was very quiet indeed. It was fabulously convenient for getting an early morning train. A comfortable bed, and the shower had TWO enormous shower heads, so two could shower at once if they liked. Reasonable choice in the breakfast buffet, though you could easily save the 18 euros and try one of the many other options in the area.

Excellently located near Gare du Nord. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Housekeeping was very good. Breakfast was good and varied. Hotel was busy and staff were really efficient in replenishing breakfast buffet when needed.

I booked this hotel as a result of a cancellation of the sudden cancelation of my return from Paris to London. I booked the Eurostar the next morning so this hotel came up in my search as the closest available to Gare du Nord. It was very late at night into the early hours of a Monday morning and I was in quite distress after a very negative experience with the cancelation and a confrontation with a bus driver. The night receptionist instantly made me feel welcome and safe. He was very nice and kind, he went out of his way to find me a piece of fruit and a bottle of water. After a few hours rest, he also prepared a small breakfast bag so I could take on the first train our of Paris. He genuinely made an effort to help and to make me feel comfortable. The facilities were also great, clean and comfortable. Location is right in front on the Paris Nord train station, with all the train, Metro and bus connections. I will definitely book this hotel on my next intentional stay in Paris.
