Best Western Premier Faubourg 88

I was visiting Paris for the first time, and I stayed at the Best Western Premier Faubourg 88. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. My Superior room was a pretty good size and didn't cost a lot. There was more than enough storage for two large suitcases and all of the things I bought while I was in the city. The bathroom was a good size too. The staff was very friendly and helpful during my stay, communicating in English as well as French. It's in a great location, just a short walk from Gare du Nord, and a few steps from the Poissoniere metro station (which was also a plus, since I walked a lot during my trip and didn't feel like walking all the way back to my room most days!) The neighborhood is nice and quiet as well, and there are also many good restaurants and stores nearby (though quite a few were closed while I was there, as it was the August holidays when almost everyone leaves town). I would highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are visiting Paris for the first time and want a nice room for a great value. less

This hotel has the tiniest rooms I've ever seen (you have to walk sideways to get around the bed in some of them) but the service was really helpful and the breakfast is one of the best rates you'll get for a petit dejeneur in Paris. Location wise, this hotel is in the middle of a lot of stuff but near nothing. You're pretty much equidistant to the Louvre and Montmartre, but that's a solid 20-30 min walk depending on your speed. My friend had to leave early and when she explained that she'd been robbed multiple times in Italy and just wanted to go home, they refunded her. Great, understanding people. less

We wanted a hotel near Gare du nord as we arrived by Eurostar, this was just a 5 minute walk. The metro is just at the end of the street and there are some lovely cafe's & restaurants nearby. The room we had was a superior twin room which was clean and adequate size for us, we were only there to sleep after all. Only downside was it was noisy outside but then we were in a capital city so expected. Breakfast was basic but enough for us, as we are not big morning eaters. Staff were very friendly and the street/metro map at reception was very handy. We would come again and recommend for short stays. less

June 18th, me, my wife, and 16-year-old son stayed at the Best Western Hotel Premier Faubourg 88 for 2 nights + 1 at Holiday Inn. We booked through Trip Masters. Our room was not ready on the day we had booked so we were routed to the Holiday Inn Paris- Gare de I'Est. for the first night and then we were transferred back to the Best Western the day after. This was an inconvenience since we did not have access to a room during the times they were cleaned but the Holiday Inn was a nicer hotel. The Best Western was clean and the staff were polite but the room was very small. We are average sized people but I can tell you that this hotel is not suitable for anyone larger. Air conditioning was excellent and beds were comfortable. Maid service was good. A very limited breakfast is offered for an additional charge of 7 to 9 euros each in a very cramped room. There are a number of expensive cafes within walking distance which seemed to all serve basically the same thing. See my review on a much better choice from last year at the Novotel Suites Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. less

Like most hotels in Paris, it is nice, super expensive and I don’t think it would match the equivalent 4 stars anywhere else. Service is good and helpful but like you would get in such a small hotel. Rooms are very nice though and worth seeing. less
