Hôtel Habituel

The hotel was ideal for our stay, a great position near the Gare du Nord means you can get anywhere in the city easily. However a special mention for the concierge who went out of his way to help resolve a problem we encountered! Thank you.

Small rooms but good location for train station. Lots of eateries in area and metro across the street.

Very noisy due to a number of mechanical appliances….air conditioning/ventilation units etc. HARDLY SLEPT!!!

We chose hotel so close to trains , expected noise but was a lot , next time a few blacks further would be better

A good value overall and a good hotel service

My spot was nice, top floor room, but the outside had alot of malingering wanderers and homeless, not a fault of the hotel, but i was approached a few times by tthe homless or buns looking for money, often with multiple languges attempting to get even a single euro

The hotel is old, dirty, smelly. The lights did not work. The window did not close properly. The neighborhood around the train station is full of drunks and homeless people. It is not safe. If staying in the area go with a brand name hotel.

I want to express my gratitude to Nadiah; she is truly the best. She is incredibly supportive and exceptionally nice.

Clean, comfortable bed. But very small rom.

Room conditions can be improved.

We did not stay here after seeing the hotel and the room. It was not acceptable to us.

The good: Very friendly front desk staff and closeness to train station. The bad: -AC on a timer, turns off every 20 minutes or so so rooms are hot, when you advertise AC as an amennity, and then restrict it, I'm going to give you a bad review. -Window curtains didnt close well and light came in abundantly. -bothroom door habdle a as broken and could not be opened from inside, you better have someone else in the room with you or youre locked if you get in and close the door. -Noisy room from street and adjacent rooms. Moving furniture at 1 AM. -Very obviously dirty room, dust everywhere, electrical outlets covered in dust. -Dated rooms -has 4 star sign at the entrance, in the US, the hotel would be at most, 2 stars.

I booked this hotel as it was close to Gare Du Nord. It was perfect. The staff were lovely. The room was comfortable. The bed fantastic. I would stay again.

Ok

Great staff.

Hotel was suitable for a one night stay. Location near Gare du Nord is ideal. Bed and room clean. Some outlets were broken

This hotel is not a 4* hotel. The.staff are friendly and helpful but the hotel itself is tired and uninviting . Our room was dirty, in need of deciorating and there were several.issues. Both the main door and the toilet door handles were broken or loose. One of the bedside "tables" was broken and on an angle so nothing could be put on it, the shelving unit was loose and unstable and the hair dryer was broken and only gave out cild air. Bedding and towels were clean. The whole hotel, including the bedroom all night, smelt of Indian cooking, not pleasant at all. Due to this being graded as 4* we were subjected to a higher city tax charge - 1 night cost us €16.90. Location for both Paris Est and Gard du Gord is excellent, although not a nice part of Paris. Overpriced hotel and very disappointing. Avoid!

Location is unbeatable, so close to Gare du Nord, also I walked back to the hotel from Montmartre easily, plenty of restaurants & shops around. Room was ok. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful and easy to deal with. I didn't have a kettle in my room but was able to get a nice cup of tea at the end of a long day sightseeing from the reception area no problem.

Out dated place but nice reception. Pricy for what you get and need to pay for a simple breakfast but close to main station to get around.

Location ideal for eurostar, just a 2 minute walk from the station. Lovely welcome by name when we arrived, room was clean, shower powerful, definitely stay there again

This hotel served a great purpose for us being located about halfway between Gare du Nord and Gare de l"Est. It is a small hotel with excellent service, an adequate breakfast for an extra 10 Euros. The staff was helpful and the room was small but adequate with good beds and pillows. For someone needing a comfortable place to sleep without all the amenities, this is a great place.

The size and condition of the room feels more like a 3 star than a 4 star hotel.

Worked well when traveling to and from Gare du Nord

Very quiet yet close to Gare du Nord

The concierge, Dagcha, went above and beyond. The room was very clean and met all our expectations.

I liked having an actual key to lock our door and the fact that the hotel was smaller and unique.

.

Across the street from train station

It was just one night for me and my toddler so the small quarters were ok. The floors could have been cleaned a little more but everything else was good. Especially the service. Very kind and resourceful.

Highly recommended since it's a two minute walk from Gare du Nord station and metro. Lots of options in terms of dining.

Great location and next to train station

I had a lovely stay here. It’s literally two minutes from Gina station. My room was ready by the time I arrived so I was able to check in earlier. The staff are really friendly and informative. I really enjoyed my stay there. Then I would definitely come back. I stayed in the suit. Some reviews have said that it updated but I think it’s more retro. It is everything you need and they also have breakfast for €10.

It is listed as a 4 star hotel. I wouldn’t give it a 1/2 star. A streetwalker would rather turn tricks on the street than in this sorry excuse for a hotel. Dirty, grimy…smelled like something died in there a long time ago. Tiny rooms too. Compared to this dump, the notorious St. Mark’s in NYC looks like the Versailles palace! Never again!!!!!

The hotel is tired looking. It needs fresh paint. It needs fittings properly working in the bedroom. Light shades broken, window shuuters broken, no shelf or anywhere to put anything in the shower room. We asked for a front street view...in our superiour double. We were given a room at the back overlooking scafolding. We were also overcharged for the daily tax. We will noit be staying there again .

Very close to Gare du Nord station. Need electric kettle and tea cups. A lot of water leaks to the floor through the bottom of the shower door. Please install a shower door bottom seal strip to prevent water from leaking out!

Too small and TV was out.

A simple hotel but clean and right next door to gate de nord

The hotel’s location was excellent as we used the metro to go to Charles deGaulle airport

Perfect for catching train

We stayed at this hotel because it was highly rated and cheap. It is a bit out of the touristy parts of Paris but it is next door to the train station which is a 2.15€ ticket to get to. The hotel is located next to loads of shops, restaurants and cafes and even your American stores like McDonald’s, Burger King, Starbucks is here. The hotel staff were really friendly and spoke English. The people in the area were really nice too. I would definitely choose to stay here again. The only faults were you could hear when the person next door flushed the toilet and there was a bit of dust on the shelves. Also, bring slippers for when you’re walking around the room because they didn’t give us any and the shower makes the floor wet.

just near the railway station so convenient for our needs

I stayed one night at this pleasant hotel which was extremely convenient for Gare de Nord. My room allocated was of a good size and everything was very clean. The shower was lovely with the option of overhead rainfall or a handheld and directed unit. Water was copious and hot with hair and body shampoo provided. The staff encountered were friendly and extremely polite and on the basis of all of this I would happily stay again.

Good hotel for staying overnight if you need to be around Gare du Nord

Great location (but came with the price) however the 4-star hotel doesn't even provide tea bags or a kettle. The design of the bathroom was also very strange as it didn't have a door meaning that the whole bathroom area flooded after shower.

Room and bedding were very clean.

Super convenient to 2 train stations, great service, OK breakfast. Bed was lovely, but made room a tight squeeze.

There was a sewage smell inside the room all night . The receptionist was great guy . Helped me put my food in the fridge

Great staff, very friendly and accomodating, room was small but nice. Bed was comfy, breakfast was inexpensive and more than adequate. Close to trains...just th right spot for my needs.

Special thanks to the staff for its hospitality. Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay.

I stayed one night before going to the airport. I really liked the charm of this place! My room was a classic double and was very small, but clean and everything worked properly. The breakfast was nice (croissant and espresso were perfect!) and the gentleman at the front desk was friendly and kind. Very convenient location to catch an early train.

Older, but comfortable hotel just around the corner from Gare du Nord. We stayed there one night at the beginning of our trip, and then again towards the end. We were concerned about the street noise, but it was surprisingly quiet with the window firmly closed. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing welcome from Hans and the best room we’ve had on our trip. Comfy bed, great shower, and sooooo quiet (room in the back). Literally steps from Gare du Nord. Great price for a simple but perfect breakfast including a cappuccino or two. Has a lift but our room required one flight of stairs - but worth it!

Great staff and efficient check in and checkout. Next to main station.

Pleasant hotel, staff really helpful. Room was big for Paris! Clean and useful for a one night stop between trains.

Great spot and right round the corner from Gare Du Nord, so was very easy for us to get to after our late train. Was only there for one night but would have definitely stayed longer if I hadn’t booked another hotel before hand

Close to Train station and Metro. Size of room is ok. However washroom sink area lacks space to put things and is separated from the toilet. Our room was quiet despite hotel in a very busy area.

This was my second time staying at Hotel Habituel! Staff were very kind and helpful, and we appreciated that we were able to leave our bags at the hotel for the day after we checked out. The location of the hotel is extremely convenient - it’s a quick train ride from Gare du Nord or La Chapelle station to get anywhere in the city. The area around the hotel has lots of restaurants nearby. Not the best vibe right in front of Gare du Nord, but hotel itself feels totally fine and we always felt pretty safe when walking around the area. Only complaint was that the air conditioning in our room wasn’t working. Staff offered us another room, but the AC also wasn’t working in that one. We were lucky that the weather was mild during our stay so we could open the windows to cool the room, but it would’ve been brutal had it been hotter outside. Overall we had a good stay, room was very clean and quiet. Would definitely come back!

Would happily stay here again. Quiet, clean, comfy beds, friendly staff, close to metro and Gare du Nore.

wonderful hotel, very clean and staff very friendly. very convenient for who is arriving by train to the city. breakfast in my opinion a bit overpriced. the area around the train station feels a bit unsafe in the night, although there is a lot of police on the streets in the area. it didn’t stop us arriving late in the night to the hotel.

The Room was a little dated. Compared to photos. Could do with a lick of paint and dusting

Proximity to Gare du Nord. Cleanliness was good.

The hotel was very convenient, just steps away from Gare du Nord. Very impressed with room size. Much bigger than the usual Paris accomodations.

Great staff and breakfast

Conveniently located near Gare du Nord--highly recommend if you have an early train to catch. Despite facing a busy road, our room was quiet. Cozy, lots of shelf space, elevator. Would stay here again.

Convenient. Good size rooms. Friendly staff

Friendly, clean, simple accommodation in a great location.

Worth to classify as 2 stars problems in every part of it Not worth the money we psid It’s too expensive comparing to what it provides

This is not a 4 star property as in reviews. No security lock on door, no safe in room. Bannister is very wobbly. The toilet in the lobby reeked. On the positive, the ac worked but you had to rearrange the curtains. The elevator worked but is tiny. It’s one block to the Gare du Nord.

Nice stay

I liked the colorful, interesting, lively neighborhood. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, graciously making cups of delicious coffee. The hotel felt like a safe oasis. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of soft, fluffy pillows.

Close to everything.

This property is very close to the train station so if you have a lot of luggage like we did, you don’t have to go far. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

perfect base 2 min walk from Gare du Nord. Very comfortable beds!

The Hotel was really nice and the staff amazing and helpful. The location is great close to train station and metro, only thing is there is alot of homeless and shady men hanging around the area and you have to go thru them to get to station. Hotel was great for what we needed.

Very good hotel with great comfy beds

This hotel is right across the street from the train station which was exactly what we needed. The amount of time we spent in the room was minimal as we were up early and out late trying to cram in all things Paris, so served our purposes well at a price point that allowed us to do a few extra things. Hotel was full both nights we were there. The rooms we had was sparse, but functional. There is no fridge or coffee pot. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we felt welcomed and cared for during our stay. We did not take breakfast at the hotel because--Paris. I was concerned about making it back to the hotel safely at night, but we had no issues. There are a lot of young men hanging around during the day, and several homeless around the station, but we never felt in danger. There is an open urinal area in the street next to the station on the walk from the hotel and the smell is overpowering--but that isn't affiliated with the hotel.

The staff was very friendly but the room had an awful smell like sewage and it was hard for me to sleep. I got in so late and was leaving very early in the morning so I didn’t make a fuss. But I would not stay there again.

Walkable to Gares Est and Nord. Great helpful, friendly front desk staff. Rooms small but very comfortable, clean and great A/C during hot summer.

Yes very njcd Reagrds, Henry

Paris hotel with personality. A real French experience. The cappuccinos are great. The rooms are small but great.

Was a great experience! Right next to train station, good size room, friendly helpful staff. Neil was fabulous. Overall i hade a really good stay there!

Would have been good to have an in room kettle and fridge. The safe was a positive.

Amazing spot close to transportation. Staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Great for the English speaking traveller, if you are worried about your French speaking skills. We loved calling this place home for our stay. 2min walk to the main station. Thank you Hotel Habituel for being a great place to land after our journey. We will be back again!

Lovely stay with my teenage son. Extremely warm and friendly greeting from man on reception in the evening. Room clean and comfortable. Very convenient location for Gare Du Nord. Would recommend.

Nice boutique hotel, no complain. Recommended

comfortable and clean, really helpful reception

The location was close to the Eurostar station, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

A stay of two halves. Had booked for two twin rooms, got two double rooms (one of which could have been made up as a twin but wasn't). Both rather basic and old fashioned (no cupboard/drawers for instance). The one at the back of hotel was quiet, had shutters, comfortable bed and was fine. The other was on a busy street without shutters so noisy and smelled nasty due to a badly sealed drain in the shower area. Breakfast was scant (a pastry and hunk of baguette) and they wouldn't provide glasses of water for the children. As a last minute stop off point prior to catching a train at Gare du Nord it served but wouldn't book it again. (Also not the hotel's fault but Expedia listed this under hotels with connecting rooms, it clearly didn't have any of those.)

Good location near train stations and food options, friendly service and comfortable rooms. Allowed us to drop our luggage off early before check in, which was nice. Would have liked a security lock on the inside of the door as a solo traveler. Free breakfast was bread and coffee/juice - good enough, but nothing substantial.

The hotel is convenient to the train station and the metro. The hotel has been renovated recently and *looks* appealing. The negatives: * the rooms are not set up for 2 adults to share. There is a door to the toilet closet. There is not a door to the shower / sink area - so be prepared to be shower in front of any roommates. * The rooms are NOT soundproofed. We heard the elevator and people in the hallway all night long. * minor hardware issues with the room, the doorknob to the toilet was broken and not fixed, the manager had to come and fix the thermostat (room was very cold), and the windows did not want to stay closed. * there is only 1 room key, and the manager required you to drop it off at the front desk every time you left. (Old school and annoying - again, not friendly to 2 adults sharing a room.)

Night staff were very friendly, helpful and kind. Comfortable clean beds, clean room although the toilet and shower units were bit smelly. Flooring was ckean but it needs changing. Breakfast was ok, limited to only coffee and few croissants with butter and jam, no other selection. Could have options with fruits, yoghurt, ham, cheese. They could definitely improve it by the price we pay for a night.

Friendly staff

We stayed for two nights and the hotel was perfect for us arriving via Eurostar as the hotel is over the road from gard de nore. The hotel was great, really clean and tidy and nice and quiet given its in the middle of a busy area by the station. The reception man was very nice and friendly and we were checked in within a couple of minutes of arrival. The location is also great with the metro line over the road that gets you to most areas of the city nice and quickly.

Clean room, nice staff-special appreciation to the Black English speaking gentleman at the front desk who helped me out when my Uber cancelled on me because we couldn’t communicate (my issue not the Uber driver’s). If travels brought me back to Gare du Nord I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again.

Great location, comfortable room but quite noisy (road during evening and building works that started at 8am) and the shower drains smelt bad. There was also a pair of someone else's socks in the room. Staff very friendly and reasonably good free breakfast.

Small hotel with vey small room and lift. Not very clean has moldy smell. Breakfast suppose to be free in hotel.com website. At the time of checkout they charged 4 of us for breakfast. I showed them hotel.com website but they didn’t care. I will never go back there. There are lot of better hotels nearby for cheaper price.

Great value!

The staff was super welcoming and accommodating. The room was clean. It’s not a fancy room but it’s super quaint. Would stay here again

This hotel is very close to Gard du Nord so if you are traveling you can’t beat this location! If you don’t live in a bigger city (nyc girl here) the noise may bother you, but if you are used to cities (as Paris is) it’s not a bad neighborhood at all. Hotel staff kind and considerate. Now the room… they are dated and there is a really strange smell in the rooms/hall way. It’s maybe mildew or sewer? I can’t describe it but it isn’t pleasant at all… At one point house staff opened our door while we were sleeping which was a bit of a rude awakening. There wasn’t a knock or anything… also some of the amenities are off. No laundry service as was advertised on Expedia (as someone who was traveling though Europe for 20 days this was a bit of a bummer). Not a bad place to land in Paris for a few days, but probably wouldn’t stay here again

What was good : staff friendly , nice clean linen , great shower What wasn't : room looked into a dirty dark courtyard , directly into neighbors apartment window Stairs and lifts smell Small safe provided wasn't bolted down , so could be lifted and removed Overall not very good value
