Great location and service
The location of this hotel is very convenient as a base for exploring Paris. It is right outside the Gare de L'est station, which is connected to several Metro lines too. There are many buses that stop right outside the hotel too.
The staff were friendly, helpful and professional and the service was impressive all round. I used the Spa for an additional fee of €30 for a 45 minute booked slot (Jan 2025) which was a lovely amount of time to relax, unwind and do a little swimming. The fitness area is free of charge to use I believe, I did not use it myself.
I was able to store my baggage with the hotel after I arrived early on the Eurostar to Gare du Nord, as its only a short walk or 1 stop on the Metro to the Hotel.
Right next to the hotel are several authentic cafes and small shops, there are less tourists overall in this part of the city, but with the great connections it felt more authentic. The breakfast was lovely, buffet but felt freshly prepared and a great selection of continental options.
The room was well laid out to not feel cramped, the windows opening helped as the aircon was centrally controlled. Noise was at a minimum in the evenings with the windows shut, and the room was cleaned well each day.
I will definitely be thinking of Hotel Este on my next trip to Paris.
