The Hotel Magenta 38 is a 3-star hotel in the 10th arrondissement, about a 10-minute walk from Gare de l’Est, with a reception that is open day and night. It is a good fit if you arrive by train or want the Canal Saint-Martin close by.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 38 Boulevard de Magenta. Gare du Nord is about 15 minutes away on foot and the Centre Pompidou about 25. According to the hotel, Jacques Bonsergent Métro station is around 200 m away, Place de la République is a 9-minute walk and the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin are about 500 m away. The Louvre and the Opéra Garnier are roughly 35 minutes on foot, so the Métro makes more sense for those.
