Hôtel Helussi

Well situated, close to Gare du Nord, but also lots of neighbourhood bistros and supermarkets. Within walking distance of Sacre Coeur and Galeries Lafayette, although we are big walkers and walked everywhere anyway. We had a courtyard room which was cosy. No traffic noise, although the hotel is on a very quiet street, so I imagine there's very little noise anyway. Bathroom very good, decent shower and toiletries, also big fluffy towels. Breakfast is fine, cereals, yogurts, cheese, meats, pastries. Everything you need. Staff are lovely, good English and very friendly. Would stay again.

I stayed at the Hotel Helussi from September 16 to 22, 2023, as a solo traveller on my first visit to Paris. I very much enjoyed my stay, largely due to the staff and the facilities. Good points: Friendly and attentive staff, someone on duty at all hours for security, and they even helped me with a package delivery for an online purchase I made. The room was large by Paris standards, with ample space to lay out my luggage. The bathroom was clean, modern and the shower heater worked fine. It also has a safe, a coffee machine and a mini-fridge. Location: Helussi is a bit far away from the touristy areas of Paris (e.g. Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe), but it is very near the metro station Poisonniere, and from there you can get around quite easily. The metro station for the Louvre Museum is on the same line, for example. It is also close to the trendy Montmarte area and the Gare du Nord train station. Best of all it is located some distance away from the main roads, so there is no traffic noise at all during the nights, making for a good sleep. Hiccups: The air-conditioning panel in my room was locked and did not respond to my input. However the air-conditioner still worked, and the staff said they would get a technician to check it out. There was also one day where room cleaning services were not available, but the staff offered either free breakfast or a free cruise on the Seine River to make up for it. Overall, I would recommend the Helussi for a extended stay in Paris if you're travelling solo or with a partner.
