HOTEL DE BELLEVUE PARIS GARE DU NORD, Paris

The hotel sits in the 18th arrondissement, just 290 m from La Chapelle metro (Line 2) and 450 m from Marx Dormoy metro (Line 12), giving direct routes to the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Pigalle, Musée d'Orsay, and Porte de Versailles. Gare du Nord RER station is 1 km away, providing RER B service to Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. Sacré-Cœur is 2 km on foot, and the Parc des Buttes Chaumont is a 20-minute walk. The immediate streets around the hotel include a mix of Indian and African shops and restaurants, but the area around La Chapelle and Marx Dormoy stations can feel uneasy, particularly after dark. For evening trips, a taxi or ride-share from the city centre is a practical alternative to walking. RER E at Magenta station (850 m) connects to Opéra Garnier and the eastern suburbs.

Room types include the 12 m2 Classic Single (140x190 bed), the 15 m2 Comfort Double (180x200 bed), the Comfort Double with Sofa (180x200 bed plus sofa bed for a child under 12), the 15 m2 Comfort Twin (two 90x200 single beds), and the 16 m2 Triple (three 90x200 single beds). All rooms feature a safe, desk, storage, satellite TV, telephone, and a courtesy tray with kettle, tea, coffee, and biscuits. Bathrooms include a walk-in shower, hairdryer, and welcome products. Rooms are compact - the single and double layouts are best suited for short stays or transit passengers. Triple and twin configurations work well for small families or groups, though the twin and triple layouts use single beds only. Noise insulation is effective, but road-facing rooms may still let in some street sound. USB sockets are provided beside the beds.

Breakfast runs from 07:00 to 10:00 on weekdays and 07:30 to 10:30 on weekends. The buffet includes eggs, cheese, cold cuts, sausages, fresh fruit salad, French pastries, bread, yoghurt, and coffee. Gluten-free options are available on request, but vegan alternatives are not offered. The breakfast is a standard continental spread - adequate for a quick start before heading out, but not a destination meal. The basement dining room is compact and can feel crowded at peak times. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but several cafés, brasseries, and takeaway options are within a short walk (e.g., Bob's Bake Shop at 0.5 km, French Home at 0.5 km). Breakfast is charged separately from the room rate.

The hotel offers a lounge with a library and board games, as well as a pleasant terrace for relaxing. The surrounding area provides several parks within walking distance: Parc de la Villette (a few minutes by metro) features green spaces, theatres, and concert venues; Parc des Buttes Chaumont is a 20-minute walk away. Montmartre, with the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur, Place du Tertre, and the Dali Museum, is 15 minutes by metro. The Canal Saint-Martin, in the 10th/11th arrondissements, is a scenic walk along the water with bistros and green spaces.

The reception desk is staffed around the clock and offers express check-in/out, private check-in/out, and a key deposit service. Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out for a fee (€5 on arrival, €10 on departure). Daily housekeeping is included. Iron and ironing board are available on request. The hotel has a lift serving all floors. One Classic Double Room is wheelchair accessible. For business travellers, two meeting rooms are available: the 30 m2 'Light' room (daylight, capacity 10-14, with overhead projector, large flat screen, Nespresso, and flipchart) and the 20 m2 'Stone' room (capacity 8-10). Packages including room rental, breakfast, and accommodation can be arranged. Parking is available off-site (100 m from hotel) at €27 per day, 14:00 to 14:00; an additional €3/hour applies outside this window; reservation is required.
