EXCLUSIVEInside the Paris hotel that's VERY handy for the Eurostar - so の近くに to Gare Du Nord it's almost within arm's reach (and it's fun, comfy... and cheap)

A hotel this handy for the Eurostar could get away with 存在 mediocre and still be popular.

A hotel this の近くに to some of Paris's most vibrant eating and drinking 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs might be tempted to scatter a few laurels and have a 嘘（をつく） 負かす／撃墜する.

But happily, 25hours Hotel Terminus Nord is a 割れ目ing place to stay, in 新規加入 to 存在 almost within arm's reach of Gare Du Nord's high-速度(を上げる）-train-festooned 壇・綱領・公約s, and 令状ing a proximity 警報 for hipster 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s and restaurants 含むing Les Arlots, restaurant Billili and La 洞穴 ? Michel.

Inside, it's a pleasing, exuberant kaleidoscope of African and Asian-奮起させるd decor with hipster 繁栄するs.

A mere 50 steps from the threshold of Gare Du Nord ? the busiest 鉄道 駅／配置する in Europe - one enters a playful 235-room 所有物／資産／財産 in a stately 19th-century building in the Belle ?poque style that's half hotel, half exotic bazaar ? and comfy, too.

25hours Hotel Terminus Nord is 'almost within arm's reach' of Gare Du Nord (above)

Gare Du Nord (above) is the busiest 鉄道 駅／配置する in Europe and is the Paris terminus for Eurostar services

The hotel 入り口 is 隣接する to the 伝説の Brasserie Terminus Nord restaurant (which has no 関係 to the 類似して 指名するd hotel), with the 歓迎会 area 似ているing a 伝統的な Parisian newspaper kiosk that comes 完全にする with a little shop selling an assortment of useful knick-knacks.

The rooms are all on 床に打ち倒すs one to six.

Our fifth-床に打ち倒す family room ? I’m there with my partner and young daughter - comes with a multitude of touches that make it fun, funky and refreshing, from ワイン boxes that serve as bed supports to classic 木造の shipping crates for 病人の枕元 （米）棚上げする／（英）提議するs and clusters of 反対／詐欺-形態／調整d headboard lamps, and from vintage rotary light switches to a perky ensuite with pink tiling and an azure-blue 沈む.

The bed, 一方／合間, is 極端に comfortable, worthy of a hotel with a much higher price point.

加える, there's a balcony with 見解（をとる）s to the Basilique du Sacr?-Coeur to the north-west and, of course, to the Gare Du Nord opposite.

That there's a 見解（をとる） of a building across the way is not a surprise. But I'd never really 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がるd just what a 素晴らしい structure it is.

The hotel's 'swanky, speak-平易な-style 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業', 次第に損なう

I 普通は come in and out of Gare du Nord enveloped in a shroud of 穏やかな 強調する／ストレス, anxious about catching a Eurostar or making it 無傷の to a waiting ride on the always-frantic 前線-of-駅／配置する road, Place Napoleon III.

But up here from my fifth-床に打ち倒す eerie I have time to 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がる the 駅／配置する's 19th-century architecture.

With its majestic 女性（の） cornice statues and grand 540ft-tall facade, it really is magnificent.

支援する inside, the hotel continues to bewitch.

There's a swanky, speak-平易な-style 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業 called 次第に損なう, a groovy coffee 駅／配置する 任命する／導入するd in the 支援する end of a vintage Citroen Acadiane, and a restaurant, Neni, which serves (結局, the service isn't the briskest) Eastern Mediterranean/Israeli-奮起させるd 'soul food' and a decent breakfast spread.

However, perhaps the 最高潮の場面 is the decor - velvet-upholstered pink banquettes and retro lampshades.

The 場所 of the hotel 必然的に means many will 扱う／治療する it as a pre-train 衝突，墜落 pad and the hotel 認めるs this ? for example on our bed is a pillow embroidered with the words 'nearly home'.

But it's so much more than that. Indeed, this is a hotel worthy of serving as the HQ for a city-break stay. A spellbinding 聖域 まっただ中に Paris's hubbub.

And a steal at only around £130 ($160) a night.
