EuroCheapo review print this page

The Hotel du Pre is a three-star hotel tucked away on a quiet street just off the Rue Lafayette. The hotel is flanked on one side by the infamous Gare du Nord and on the other by the gourmet haven of Saint-Lazare, an area packed with fine bakeries, wine and cheese shops, and tea rooms.

The 40 rooms are functional and are comfortably kitted out with matching bed linens, carpets, and curtains in bright, summery colors. Doubles have spotless en suite bathrooms. All rooms have a telephone, satellite TV, and free Wi-Fi access. Some floors are non-smoking (ask ahead).

The du Pre's spacious lounge area evokes the English club atmosphere with leather sofas, chintzy wallpaper, and deep red carpets. Breakfast costs extra (€12) and is served buffet-style in a separate room downstairs from the reception area. Some floors are non-smoking. There is free Wi-Fi Internet throughout the hotel.

Tip: Courtyard rooms offer a bit more peace and quiet.

About the Hotel du Pre neighborhood

If you're arriving in Paris via train from the north (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, etc.), there is a chance that the Gare du Nord will be your first impression of Paris. The station itself is located in the 10th arrondissement. It's the grandest of the 19th century train stations, boxed in by major traffic thoroughfares the Boulevard de Magenta and the Boulevard de La Chapelle. The overall impression is a place for people in transit, rather bleak and lacking in character. Aside from Peter Brook's charmingly dilapidated theatre Les Bouffes du Nord, which sometimes stages plays in English, the area has little to offer on the cultural or historical front. It does, however, boast an abundance of transportation options and budget hotels. Beyond the Boulevard de La Chapelle to the north is the notorious "Goutte D'Or" immigrant ghetto, which is currently in the throes of a major clean-up. New businesses and ahead-of-the curve artists are moving into a neighborhood once known for abject squalor and the drugs trade. The incredible diversity of the neighborhood is reflected in its exotic shops, where anything from plantains to halal meat to organic groceries can be found.
