Best Western Anjou Lafayette — Hotel in Paris

I was in room 303. I paid about 250 euros per night for a triple room. At the time of booking (D-3) it seemed the best value for location and quality. (+) Biggest plus point is the great location near the Gare du Nord. I walked with my big suitcase and it took me about 12 minutes. The sidewalk is good, no big stones, so you can easily walk with luggage. Reception very good, very polite and helpful. Room quality good. A bit worn out, some cracks here and there but nothing bad. Overal clean. Found a few hair under the bed spread. Not sure they wash it. Under the blanket and bed it was ok. Double bed very good. The extra hard couch/bed was good as well. For room size see photos. Bathroom of standard size with a bathtub. Cupboard with room to hide luggage inside. Just one small shelf to store clothes though. Elevator ok. I didn't try breakfast. It looked very plain. Better go to bakeries and cafes up north. Try walking to Daldali, Léonie, Mamiche for example. The front door is well isolated. Didn't hear the elevator. Room temp was ok. The weather was about 15 and not cold at night but I tested the AC once and it seemed to work. There was a small heater in the room but didn't test it.

(-) Only thing that could cause a problem for some of you is the noise from the room next door: you hear people talking, and if it's silent, toilets flushing, people showering, etc. streets. The window frames are not the most noise isolated so you hear some echo noise from the main busy street until late at night. It's not as busy as Boulevard Sebastopol but it's busy. Also yes you can feel the metro rumbling even when on upper floor. I had trouble sleeping the first night but less the second one. My wife and kid slept well. Oh yes and also our minibar was empty (it said "free water"?) and smelled when we opened it so we didn't use it. We could store some pastries in the kitchen though. 👍🏼

Not sure I will return there as I like experiencing...

Very nice small hotel across the avenue from a small park. The hotel decor was modern and appealing. Great location between two close-by metro stations and plenty of restaurants, cafes, and bars in the nearby area. Extremely convenient to get to Gare du Nord and Gare de la Est. We had a well-appointed 16m room, pleasantly colorful, as in the photos. It had a coffee maker and small refrigerator. Our room was on the fifth floor facing the street. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small, but had great water pressure and lots of hot water. However, the high tub is problematic for guests with mobility difficulties. I don't know if any rooms have walk-in showers. Wifi was problem-free. I appreciated the good lighting even for a smallish room. The room was a little cold and the climate control was disabled except for the fan. Apparently, the temperature (at least in this season) is centrally he controlled. The hotel is a half block from a main thoroughfare (Rue de Lafayette), so a lot of night-time street noise echoed into our sidestreet, plus the low rumble that you can feel from the metro. Typical problems for hotels in that area according to the reviews I've read. We were there on a windy night and the double-pane windows didn't shut out the wind noise completely. One definite problem is that the electric sockets seem worn out. They didn't always work due to looseness and our charger cords kept falling out. I recognize that popular midrange hotels get a lot of wear and tear. The desk personnel were friendly. Breakfast, unfortunately, was underwhelming. Typical cold buffet breakfast, but it seemed to be lacking a few items. I've had better at other BW properties. I researched other area hotels extensively before booking and, overall, I think was a very good choice at a good price...
