My friends and I overall enjoyed our stay. Though out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Paris, city center, it was just a short walk with easy access to the Metro. The area around the hotel isn’t the greatest, so we made it a point not to meander after dark, though just a few blocks away was the Canal which offered some great restaurant choices and lots of people enjoying their evening walk and jog. Most of the front desk staff were helpful and met us with warm greetings. Our room was always clean, with fresh towels daily, thank you Leila. However, watch out for the ever changing water temps in the shower, freezing cold to scolding hot!! The restaurant on-site was decent, for a buffet, but you couldn’t sit in that area unless you were ordering food. There was a nice lounge area, but the cigarette smoke poured in from the front doors and filled the whole lobby, which made it hard to sit (breathe) in the lounge. We stayed a total of 9 days here and it was comfortable enough to stay again, just not in this area.
There's some noise and mess due to ongoing construction.
The housekeepers consistently try their best to keep the rooms clean.
The owner seems to be the problem.
The restaurant in the basement only has one microwave and a fridge, that's it.
It feels like eating at a construction site.
Since refunds and changes aren't allowed, I'd advise checking everything thoroughly before paying.
The location was great, it was a bit outside of the center, easily to reach by car, and lots of options for public transport. We booked two rooms for two nights, in one of the rooms the heating was broken, which was a big issue since it was freezing and snowing outside with temperatures of -3°C. We reported the broken heating to the staff a total of 3 times, they ””noted it” but didn't do anything. We were not booked into another room with working heating, neither did we get a discount or (partial) refund. Overall would have been an OK stay, if it wasn't for the broken heating.
I stayed here one night to be close to Gare du Nord. It's a 20 minute walk away. It's a popular area but not postcard Paris so I don't know if I'd recommend it for your main hotel for a Paris visit.
The hotel is pretty large and the room had AC. Luggage storage is not free (I didn't need it). When we first got there the room smelled like vinegar (for cleaning I guess) and the bed things for the top bunk bed as well as towels were in a grey duffel bag with labels on it. That was kind of strange.
The toilet is separate and the shower is not in its own room with a semi see through door.
Nice things include cleanliness, having a metro station only a few steps away and the room is newly furnished.
The negatives were having a very cramped bathroom with a barely usable tiny sink and and a tight shower area, the kettle smelled weird like something had been soaked up in there which resulted in a disgusting taste with whatever beverage you would be making, the neighbourhood felt a bit unsafe and with no proper dining out options, and lastly the fact that one must give away their room key every time when leaving is unpleasant.
The rooms and the bathroom was really clean. The outside noise made it quite loud and I didn’t appreciate the shower system (time button). But over all the location is good, I arrived at night and still felt safe. And the hoste looks nice and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
This hotel is newly refurbished. Cody comfortable rooms, with all amenities. The breakfast offering is generous and many food varieties. The staff are professional and very helpful. I was impressed with the service of Vanessa and Samia. Thank you for the welcome. Will stay again.
A very pleasant stay! The hotel has a great location, convenient transportation, attentive service, and clean, comfortable rooms that made me feel right at home. Highly recommended! This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in! Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the facilities were excellent, and I would definitely choose this hotel again. Thank you for the hotel's outstanding service! The staff were friendly, the place was clean and tidy, and the price was reasonable, making it a great value for money and a good choice for travel accommodation.
I stayed here for 4 nights and was assigned to an upper bunk bed. On the second night, after two guests checked out, I noticed there were available lower beds and asked the staff if I could move.
Initially, I was told to come back the next morning to arrange the change. However, when I returned, another staff member told me that I could not move because the hostel was fully booked. This was confusing, as there was clearly at least one lower bed available.
What made the experience disappointing is that the lower bed remained empty for the rest of my stay, yet my request was still not accommodated. The communication between staff was inconsistent, and the handling of the situation felt unprofessional.
Overall, while the stay itself was acceptable, this experience reflected a lack of flexibility and coordination in customer service.

Superbe Hôtel dans un quartier très calme, devant le canal de la villette. Très propre, literie super. Chambre avec suffisamment de place poir 2 adultes et 1 ado. La seule remarque serait le chauffage qu'on ne peut pas régler et sur 26 dans une chambre c'est beaucoup trop (on a dormis avec la fenêtre ouverte). Petit déjeuner très copieux et de qualité. Bref un très bon rapport qualité prix.
I stayed here for about a week because I had business nearby and wanted a hotel with a kitchen. I took a taxi from Charles de Gaulle Airport to the hotel upon arrival. On my departure day, I checked out, left my luggage for some sightseeing, and then returned to take the taxi that I had arranged during check-out to the airport. In every interaction, the staff was incredibly kind and made my stay very comfortable and stress-free.
While it's a bit far from central Paris, the metro station is right in front of the hotel, and there are restaurants, bakeries, and a Monoprix nearby, which is super convenient.
The photo shows the view from my room window. I edited out some luggage in front of the bed in the room photos, but I hope they're still helpful!
Wonderful hotel, very clean, very welcoming, situated near the La Villette recreational complex. The room was cosy, perfect balance in terms of not too cold with colours nor not too dark. The Queen sized bed was magnificent but the pillows weren't of my standard, as I found no support in that, but of course, crucially, pillow comfort is subjective to the user. The room was spacious with plenty of natural lighting as well as enough artificial lighting too. There is a desk area and some convenient wall storages, as well as an inbuilt wardrobe for further additional storage. The TV had French channels mostly and understandably, but this being The Garden Inn, the TV is setup to cast your apps from your phone to watch on the TV, but note, this is only an Android feature.
All in all, a relaxing and joyous place to stay. The area is nice and quiet and away from the street noise. However, the fellow guests on the same floor had no decency to respect other guests, as they kept closing their doors heavy handedly and making noise whilst walking along the corridor. But putting that aside, the hotel quality and services is what you'd expect to find from the Garden Inn.

There were 6 of us cyclists and we were able to store our bikes safely. The lobby was very cozy; the staff behind the counter was accurate and friendly. The bar was nice; we could get a nice dinner there. The rooms were well insulated; the breakfast was extensive. The location of the hotel was ideal and we overlooked a well-kept quay
