The family-run, 37-room Hotel
de l'Europe offers budget rooms on a busy avenue in the 10th
arrondissement of Paris. With the Gare du Nord train terminal just a few minutes' walk away,
the location is particularly convenient for those arriving by Eurostar, while several
nearby Metro stations offer decent transport links throughout the capital. Rooms are simple with functional design (considering the small spaces) and signs of wear and tear, and some are prone to street noise. However, amenities (electric kettles and small flat-screen TVs) are decent enough and beds are comfortable. Wi-Fi is free throughout, but keep in mind that this is truly a budget stay with very few on-site facilities.

Scene
Simple, family-run hotel with friendly vibe but dated decor
Set in a typical
Parisian block with "Hotel de l'Europe" carved into its smart stone entrance,
this budget hotel is bare-bones but welcoming enough. Stepping inside,
a pleasant reception area is decorated with a blend of typical hotel
aesthetics and turn-of-the-century styling in faux marble and greens and gold. A
small family-run hotel, the hotel feels a little dated but the place is generally well-maintained. A
single elevator -- tiny and baring a faint whiff of old cigarettes -- ferries
guests to one of six floors, while the more energetic can climb the property's
steep and spiraling staircase to the hotel's clean but tired-looking hallways. This is a clean and homey property that offers solid value in a good location, but lacks any attention to style.
Location
On a busy tree-lined boulevard close to Gare du Nord Eurostar terminal
The hotel is
located on a busy tree-lined boulevard in the République District in Paris's 10th
arrondissement. While the area is a little rough around the edges, the location
is especially convenient for access from the trains stations of Gare de L'Est
and Gare du Nord's Eurostar terminal. The picturesque Saint-Martin canal is
also within walking distance and the pretty neighborhood of Montmartre --
featuring the Sacre Coeur basilica -- is a brisk 15-minute walk away. Several
Metro lines are less than a 10 minutes' walk and connect to the center of Paris
-- including the Louvre and Notre Dame -- in just over 10 minutes.
Rooms
Simple, unpolished rooms have free Wi-Fi, but some are prone to street noise.
The hotel has 37
rooms, all of which are decorated in simple, modern styling with carpeted floors
and basic furnishings. While not spotless (some bathrooms show a bit of mold) and with signs of wear, rooms are
generally clean and have comfortable beds. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, basic electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs with some satellite channels
(including BBC and CNN). Bathrooms are basic and cram[ed with step-in showers and wall-mounted hairdryers. Despite some
soundproofing, lower-level street-facing rooms are prone to some traffic noise.
The property also offers a self-contained loft apartment with a more
contemporary finish, separate kitchen, and lounge/dining area; this is the one space in the hotel where some attention has been paid to style and polish.
Features
Freshly baked baguettes and croissants served each morning, plus free Wi-Fi
The hotel serves
a traditional French breakfast in a nicely decorated, but rather simple and
windowless breakfast room. The breakfast includes warm crusty baguettes, croissants, and pure fruit juices; although it's not included in the rate, it's cheap. Daily newspapers are also provided in French
and English. There is a computer terminal and printer available for guests to use. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
