The hotel is in walking distance from the Eurostar and from the Metro station which is very helpful. It's a twenty minute metro ride to the Louvre. Wifi was great to have although only one person in your group could use the passcode at a time, but we made it work. I was traveling with two other friends and we had 3 single beds which worked out perfectly. The street the hotel was on was on made us a little nervous walking home but it was more because it was empty. It seemed like a pretty safe neighborhood. There is a police station on the street. All an all a good place to come back to so you can shower and sleep!

This was my first trip to Paris, despite travelling around the rest of France extensively.The Parisiana was our accomodation for one night as part of a package booked through an agent. However, having looked at on-line rates for the time that we stayed (May 2013), I think the Parisiana offered good value for money.The Hotel's location is only a 10 minute walk from the Gare du Nord (ideal if arriving or departing by Eurostar) and slightly less to Gare d'Est. These are the two nearest Metro stations as well. Although not located in the most beautiful of areas, myself and my wife felt comfortable walking to and from the hotel during the day and night (the hotel is located just 50m from a main 'avenue' so there are plenty of people around) but I can understand why single travellers may feel slightly unsure of the area.We chose to use the Metro to travel to the more centrally located tourist spots. The Eiffel Tower was reached in 25 minutes and the Louvre in 15 minutes. So, although I initially thought the hotel might be too far from the centre, it didn't prove to be that bad.The hotel itself appears to have been recently renovated. The reception area is compact, but is light and welcoming. The receptionist was helpful and efficient. A standard continental breakfast is served off of this area in a seperate breakfast room that seats approx. 20 people. The food was perfectly acceptable for this style of breakfast.Whilst talking about food, I should confirm that the hotel has neither a bar or restaurant. However, there are many options within a 3-10 minute walk.The room itself was compact and basic, however, it was comfortable and clean. The bathroom had a bath with over-shower- powerful with plenty of hot water. No thrills, but very acceptable at this price point. Hotel has a left luggage facility, ideal for that last day of your stay. In conclusion, this hotel doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. A good, basic choice for those who don't mind travelling a little to see the sights of Paris. Don't choose if you want extensive customer services and room service!

I do not understand why we seldom say the truth on our reviews. The Parisiana hotel is simply unacceptable. And their web site is totally misleading. The smell in the entrance was so bad that you could never stay for breakfast even if you had paid a fortune for it. Was there three days ago.

The hotel is within walking distance from eurostar train station, saving on taxi fares:)The rooms are reasonable size, a bit small for what we are used to and not enough lighting. There was air conditioning unit in the room but somehow we cant get it to work properly.Breakfast was not included but for what it's worth, i dont think we missed anything. It was strange not to have a coffee and tea making facilities in the room which nowadays are pretty standard.The internet was not working the 2 whole days we were in Paris, much to my annoyance.We bought the Yellow Hop On Hop Off ticket which was very good - if only the bus runs later than 6 pm which means it would have given us more flexibity in places to eat for dinner. Instead, we ate around our hotel.Overall, would I stay here again?Not likelyFor single or women travellor? Definitely not. There is a restaurant across the hotel and every night there are real dodgy characters loitering there. Noisy and people pee- ing on the street. Yuck!

We have stayed here before when it had two stars. Now with three it is the same clean and friendly hotel. The wi-fi was broken on the first night but working on the second. The breakfast is a bit pricey so we ate in a local cafe.Just ten minutes walk from the Eurostar station and recommended as a cheap and cheerful hotel.
