Hotel near Gare du Nord and centre

Hi all,

I%26#39;m planning a trip to paris in february. I%26#39;ll be coming in on the eurostar to Gare du Nord and am looking for a cheapish, but friendly and clean hotel which is easy to reach from both the Gare du Nord and also from the main sites in the city.

The site%26#39;s I%26#39;d like to visit on my weekend break are the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, so any information on these would be appreciated with regards to prices, queues, getting around etc.

Basically I%26#39;m not the most experienced traveller, and the main thing I%26#39;d like to sort out is travelling between the station and the hotel, and the hotel and the sites.

If anyone has any suggestions with regards to a hotel from personal experience, it would be appreciated :)

Thanks for your help.

In June I had a three day trip with my daughter and grandson using Eurostar. We stayed at an Ibis hotel only 5 mins from Gare Du Nord

It is a budget hotel but the rooms were very clean with a double bed and a very well equipped bathroom. We paid about 70 E which was the weekend rate, it is more expensive during the week.

We found it ideal since it was only 5 minutes from the Gare Du Nord and after we booked in we could walk to Montmatre in about 20 mins. There is a Metro station Poissonieere five mins walk in the opposite direction from Gare Du Nord which is less busy.

My daughter%26#39;s view was that although it suited as fine since we had a small child with us if you want to stay out late for the night life it would be probably better to have a hotel nearer the Latin Quarter.

Thanks very much for your reply.

That certainly provides food for thought - the fact that it%26#39;s budget but adequate is certainly what im looking for.
