Breakfast in a vaulted stone cellar is what marks out the mornings at the Hotel Moris Grands Boulevards, a 3-star hotel in the 10th arrondissement. It has a lounge bar, a 24-hour reception and air conditioning, and it suits you if you want to be halfway between the northern stations and the centre.
Location and getting around
According to the hotel, a Métro station is about 260 m away and the Canal Saint-Martin about 750 m. On foot, Gare de l’Est and the Centre Pompidou are about 15 minutes away, and Gare du Nord about 20. The Louvre and Notre-Dame are about 30 minutes’ walk, so the Métro makes sense for those.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have simple furnishings, wooden floors, air conditioning and cable TV. A lift serves all of them.
Breakfast is a buffet and is served in the building’s cellar. In the afternoon the lounge bar is open. The reception is open 24 hours and, according to the hotel, there are free newspapers and luggage storage.
Who it suits
- Travellers arriving by train at Gare de l’Est or Gare du Nord.
- Guests who want to stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin.
- Those who like a drink at the hotel before bed.
- Anyone who needs a lift to get luggage up.
