The hotel is conveniently located to the Metro, ATMs and self laundry

This was a beautiful old building, Hausmann style and had an attractive lobby with seating and TV and internet booths. Just no smoking area unfortunately for us. They are planning to furnish the outside courtyard for that purpose. The breakfast area smelt musty as did the corridors-not enough ventilation. The lift needed servicing and there was no outdoor area . However, across the road is an excellent Cafe with the BEST cafe meals we had in France. Open from 7.30am until late, that served our eating, drinking and smoking needs very well. We loved their welcome too. Metro,trains and buses all easily accessed from Hotel Magenta, altho Taxi drivers were displeased taking us to Gard de Nord."It is easy walk!" 2 of them said. Ha, not with my heavy luggage!

Für ein 3-Sterne-Hotel in Paris einfach großartig© Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Anbindung an das U-Bahn-Netz (Station Jacques Bonserge). Man kommt aber auch zu Fuß gut zurecht - Erreichbarkeit des Gare du Nord und des Gare de L´Est in 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Zahlreiche gute und gegenüber der Innenstadt preiswerte Cafes und Restaurants in der Nähe - zum Place de la Republique sind es ca. fünf Gehminuten - von dort sind sämtliche U-Bahn-Linien erreichbar. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemüht (Englisch sprechend). Alles in allem ein Hotel zum Wohlfühlen. Der richtige Ort für einen mehrtätigen Ausflug nach Paris.

Hotel limpio, personal amable, buena localización, desayuno correcto. Una buena elección

We had a triple room, small with very little closet space. This is expected for Paris hotel though, and for the price, we were very happy with the room. Location was convenient to the Metro. Breakfast was good. Elevator is helpful. Free internet access with multiple terminals in nice lobby.

9.9

Excellent hotel - our second stay there in 10 months. Very handy for Gard du Nord station. The Harmonie Cafe opposite the hotel has good value meals and drinks.

7.7

We had only a one night stay. Welcome, beds and breakfast were appropriate in a way, that we were satisfied and could concentrate only on our planned visiting program. The distance to the Gare de L'Est was only 5 minutes walking. The hotel offered the possibility of storing the luggage prior to check-in and after check-out. This means that we can recommend the hotel without any restrictions.

This hotel was outstanding. Took a minute to find from the train station, but not a far walk from the gare de nord or gare de est. The hotel staff was most helpful with tours and everything. Computer on premises was great.

9.0

Très bon hotel. Qualité prix irréprochable, chambre spacieuse et propre.Situation plein centre de Paris avec métro à proximité de l'hotel. Petit déjeuner copieux et varié avec un personnel polyglotte très sympathique. A recommander absolument !

9.2

Very small, but well-appointed rooms. Comfortable. Front desk helpful with directions. Underground station one block away. Excellent breakfast.

7.4

A little expensive for the area and quality of the hotel. The room was a little noisey, I could hear people in the rooms above and next door talking. Good breakfast though. The staff were friendly and spoke good English. Check-in time of 3pm is a little late in my opinion. You can leave your luggage in the luggage room though. Close to Gare de L'Est and Gare du Nord (15 min walk). The closest major metro station is Republique.

9.2

single tourist; Blvd Magenta around hotel is full of cafes, near metro. Great hot buffet breakfast included in price. Asked for a quiet room on court side, got it, included (only hotel of 3 I stayed in, electric jug and china cup). Great bathroom, safe, mini bar, truly a find.

8.4

Decent location, a 10 minute walk to Gare Du Nord and about 6 minute walk from Gare de L'Est. While the room was not exactly spacious, it was adequate. The rooms were quiet. A good selection of channels on the tv. A good selection for breakfast and generous breakfast times. Check in time after 3pm is a bit of a nuisance if you arrive early.

5.2

We stayed fm May 30th to June 1st 2009. Old building totally renewed but rooms & bathrooms very small ( premium room ! so imagine standard and individual ). Expensive if not booked in advance. Breakfast is the best !!. Close to subway Jacques Bonsergent and 10 min fm Gare du Nord (ideal to come/go fm/to Charles de Gaulle ).

5.7

room was quite clean but not as discribed in the hotel website...much smaller and not so renewed...the hair dryer didn't work... some of the reception personnel were not so friendly but some other were helpfull.. breakfast was very good, I think the best aspect of the hotel! location is also good because it's near a metro station in general i think it's a good hotel to stay in if you are not looking for a 5stars hotel!

We had a lovely stay at Magenta Paris Hotel! Very nice breakfast!!

8.0

Me gustó bastante el hotel, en general se puede decir que precio calidad está bien. Está bien ubicado porque todo queda relativamente cerca, pero el barrio no es muy bonito. El desayuno bastante bueno y la cama sencillamente fabulosa, no tengo ni una queja. Haría falta tal vez algunos jaboncitos como se suele dejar en las habitaciones de los hoteles de más de tres estrellas. Solo un par de detalles, las habitaciones no son tan espaciosas como se ven en la foto, y eso que yo estuve en una de las más grandes y caras. Y el ascensor no funcionó casi nunca.

7.2

Great location. Good but a bit sugary breakfast, (French fare I guess). Excellent value for the price.

7.5

free wireless internet access

9.3

we stayed at the hotel majenta for the christmas period. It was an ecellent choice. Very good value for money. Room and breakfast was fantastic and we will be staying there again on our next visit to Paris!

5.6

Il prezzo è troppo alto in base a quello che offre l'albergo comunque le stanze sono silenziose e abbastanza pulite. Per avere il cambio degli asciugami bisogna lasciarli sul pavimento.

7.8

Muy buen hotel, salvo las habitaciones del piso 7 al que había que acceder por escalera, por suerte no aceptamos y nos brindaron una buena habitación en el piso 6 hasta el cual llegaba el ascensor.

8.5

I stayed four nights at the Hotel Magenta. Very welcoming staff, although the "few steps" from the 6th floor lift to the 7th floor was actually a winding flight of stairs! The hotel is very convenient for public transport - the Metro and the bus stop are very close, but be warned, when you go back to the Gare du Nord the bus doesn't drop you at the front, but round the back and I made the mistake of going down in the nearest lift and finding myself with no exit unless I had a metro ticket so I had to go back up in he lift and belt across to the escalators. After that it was easy to follow this signs to Eurostar, but I did arrive a bit breathless. I had a large single (705) with shower. The wardrobe was a bit tricky to access and the mini-bar very expensive (€3 per soft drink), but I could get BBC Worldwide on the TV. There was a safe and a freestanding air-contioner lurking in the wardrobe, but as it was April I didn't need it. Would definitely go back, but probably not on the 7th floor!

7.9

Great place to stay: close to gare de l'est and gare du nord. Quite a few nice places to eat nearby. Nice and clean hotel, kind reception. Only thing missing was a decent airconditioning.

Fuimos una familia venezolana con dos niñas pequeñas que planificamos viajar a Paris y seleccionamos este hotel solo por referencias de la publicación en VENERE, y realmente superó nuestras espectativas, desde la reservación por internet hasta nuestra llegada sin inconvenientes, el personal extremadamente atento, y se esmeraman en hablar español, además en el hotel habia una persona que lo hablaba perfectamente y nos dió especial atención, la habitación de excelente calidad, un poco pequeña pero nos pareció fabulosa, la comida muy buena, el edificio en excelentes condiciones de presentación, mantenimiento, el ascensor excelente, la cercanía del hotel al metro a unos 100 metros aproximadamente. Para las personas que no han viajado a Paris y desean hacerlo esta es una muy buena opción. Si volviera a París regresaría a este Hotel. A todo el personal del Hotel nuestras más sinceras palabras de agradecimiento. Glen Covarrubias y Familia (VENEZUELA)

9.8

An excellent hotel, with very quiet rooms, very well sound proofed between, with the only noise cominng from magenta bvd. The rooms are excactly as shown in internet photos, the public areas as well. The breakfast was perfect, in quallity and in quantity as well. I believe that it was a perfect choise, and if I return to Paris I would very much like to stay there again. The only thing I recomend to the hotel management is to put an automatic logic system to the elevator.

7.3

Italian not spoken.

9.3

This was a wonderful hotel very well located just steps from the metro station. The room was small but clean and very comfortable. There was free internet service in the lobby and wonderful restuarants in the area. I highly recommend Hotel Magenta!

6.8

Magenta is a nice spot to Stay - for the price range, one of the most spacious hotel rooms in Paris - you wont regret

6.8

The blowdryer was not working and it took them long to repair. Also, I was a bit shocked when out of nowhere a guy entered my room without knocking. It was the repair guy and he entered without informing me before hand. It was scary because I thought a stranger had access to my room. And it was around early in the morning and I could have been still sleeping that time.

8.7

Very good value modernised hotel, accessible to metro, with helpful reception and excellent breakfasts. Somewhat idiosyncratic lift, but it worked most of the time over three days.

7.6

Fantastic breakfast included!

8.0

Overall, my stay at this hotel was very good. The location is convenient for both the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est - about a ten to fifteen minute walk (though, a more difficult if you have lots of luggage, as it is uphill from hotel to the stations). I would certainly stay here again if I was coming/going via either of the stations. It is also a short walk to various Metro stops. The room was very clean, especially the bathroom, which was very spacious and one of the nicest bathrooms I've encountered in an affordable European hotel. The room itself (a single) was tiny - not much room to walk around, but that was fine, as I wasn't in the room much. I had a single room like the one pictured in the photo...it's pretty accurate, though it does make the room appear slightly more spacious and airy than it is. Breakfast was fine, but crowded, and it was difficult to find a seat two or three times (I was there for six nights). I wasn't thrilled with the restaurant options in the immediate area, but that could be because I'm vegetarian. I think that if the location is good for you, and you want a clean, reasonably-priced place to stay for a short or longer stay, given the location and cleanliness of the hotel, it's definitely a good choice. It served as a very good base from which to explore the city, and it was nice coming back to my tiny but nice room at night.

9.8

Did not give high rating for public area of hotel as it was under refurbishment at the time of our stay (Nov 2008) but this in no way affected the overall high quality of this hotel. Location is excellent - only 10-15 minutes walk from Grad de l'Est and Gare Du Nord railway stations. There are many restaurants situated in the Place de la Republic which is a few minutes walk down the Boulevard de Magenta. In fact the quaintly decorated Harmonie Bar right opposite the Hotel provides excellent value food.

9.6

Great hotel. Taxi from train reasonably priced. Close to Bus tour location and public transport. Local eating houses and Laundromat around the corner. Free internet. Would recommend

9.1

It¨s a very nice hotel, in the center of Paris, and we choose it because it is near the place where my daughter lives, and in fact we went to visit her.We liked very much our stay in hotel Magenta, and it¨s really the best value for money

7.3

Clean, comfortable and convenient, but a bit over-priced.

9.6

great room,exelent breakfast.very good hotel for the price,can recommend.

8.8

The location is excellent. Our 4th floor room was quiet and had a nice wiev. A small, peaceful hotel.

5.9

I booked the hotel because it had aircon and a lift.I was given a room on the 7th floor, in the hot roof, which did not have aircon only a blower. the lift went only to the 6th floor so I had to walk up a long flight with my luggage.I am 72 years old and try to avoid such things. I asked at reception for another room but was told there were none. I thought that the price I paid was fair for what we got inc. a very good breakfast

8.8

The room was very clean. I had a room on the courtyard side and the room was very quiet. The staff were very pleasant. The hotel is convenient located close to a metro station.

9.3

We liked the fact that there was a kettle in the room, and that breakfast was provided in the bedroom at no extra charge. Great bakery round the corner!

9.1

Stayed for just one night, but this is easily the best hotel I have used in Paris. The staff were superb and the hotel represents excellent value for money. The Location is outstanding, only two stops from Gare de Nord(especially if you arrive by Eurostar). The area (5 mins walk from Place de la Republique) is safe while not overly gentrified. Highly recommended.

8.7

It was a very nice stay. I had read that the staff and the breakfast were the best in the hotel and I can say now that I agree with this.

9.9

Spacious triple room, but the cupboard was a little small for the belongings of three people.Good breakfast. Good value for money and very kind staff.

8.0

Nice environment, clean and quiet room, helpful staff, excellent breakfast, free internet service with imac, close to metro station and 2 stations from Nord station. Will come again!

8.2

We have spent almost a week in Hotel Magenta and in overall we are very satisfied with the service received. The hotel is located in the centre close to the Gare du Nord railway station, which is very comfortable if someone visit Paris by train. The hotel was really nice and clean with internet facilities at the hall and wireless in the rooms. The rooms are cute but a little bit small, but its most like a standard in Paris. Breakfast was excellent for a good price. (incl. in the room price) Staff was always helpful and has a good knowledge about the city. So next time we definitely go back to Hotel Magenta and we can just recommend it to everyone who wants to have a nice stay in Paris.

8.8

The stay at the hotel and the helpfulness of the staff was very good

5.9

Decent hotel for its price in overpriced Paris. Breakfast was good, and the free internet and computers was fantastic and saved us money. Rooms are quite old and shower not very good (nil water pressure). Area was ok, bit dodgy at night, but only 100mt from a metro stop.

8.2

The free unlimited wi-fi internet access was a huge plus. Why can't all hotels do this now?

8.3

The Hotel Magenta is a top spot to stay whilst in Paris which offers comfortable, modern accomodation at an affordable price. It is well located within minutes of the Metro as well as Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord railway stations. There is also loads of eating places nearby and a laundromat around the corner + free wifi!

La llegada no fue alentadora pero luego todo mejoró y funcionó muy bien hasta el momento de irnos.Cuando llegamos nos exigieron el pago de las 5 noches por adelantado "porque aquí se estila así", dijeron. No funcionaba el ascensor y al pedir ayuda una empleada nos informó que como el hotel es 3 estrellas no correspondía el servicio de trasladar el equipaje, al decirles que el pedido era por la falta de ascensor y no por pretensiosas y siendo dos mujeres, la recepcionista nos ayudó a subir valijas y bolsos 5 pisos por escalera.Quisimos bañarnos pero "no nos avisaron" que por el momento tampoco había agua caliente, pensamos que por eso nos exigieron el pago por adelantado.En otra oportunidad faltaban jabones y pidieron que bajáramos a buscarlos porque no había personal para llevarlos. La única persona que hablaba castellano estuvo para recibirnos y el último día. Por lo demás la habitación premium era muy linda, con buena cama, buen baño, un hermoso balcón y buena vista, el desayuno muy bueno y la atención posterior correcta aunque no demasiado amable. Al Hotel le falta mantenimiento, tiene en algunos pasillos las paredes descascaradas, pero las habitaciones repito, son buenas y silenciosas. El staff si bien correcto, no me pareció amable y servicial. Al retirarnos era de madrugada, nos quisieron facturar dos jugos de más que nunca consumimos y que no estábamos dispuestas a pagar. Tuvimos una discusión con el empleado nocturno que tenía muy mal modo y acusaba al personal que no hacía bien su trabajo pero se negaba a darnos el boucher firmado en blanco al llegar, especulando con que el taxi estaba esperando hacía mucho y nos costaría más que los jugos. Una pareja española que quería retirarse dijo que ellos pagarían los 3 euros porque perderían el avión. Me pareció una verguenza el proceder del empleado que aceptó la propuesta. La relación calidad precio es muy buena si pensamos que esto que nos pasó fue por mala suerte y no algo f

9.2

I think hotel Magenta is great, not only for the location but for the service and rooms they offer. The relation between quality and price is awesome, the personal is very polite, we will definately come back, I recommend Hotel Magenta

8.5

Ein gepflegtes Hotel. Zum Glück hatten wir ein Zimmer zum Innenhof, da die Straße vor der TÜr sehr laut ist. Die Umgebung des Hotels ist nicht die beste, aber nah an der nächsten Metrostation.

9.7

This hotel was a marvelous discovery and I recommend it unstintingly. I will certainly stay here on any future visits - the staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and service oriented. The breakfast was an ample buffet with splendid coffee (and a fine range of teas); the bathroom was immaculate and had forcefully running water even on the top floor. The quality outshone that of similarly priced hotels I have stayed at the 15-20 times I have been in Paris before. And wireless internet for free! A couple of blocks from Place de la Republique; less than a block from nearest metro; 2 minutes from Gare de L'Est, and 10-15 minute walk from Gare du Nord.

7.9

Nice place to stay. Real Magenta style :) Free WiFi access available.

7.6

Clean little room, freshly painted. Impeccable bathroom. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Good value for money in the center of Paris. Negative: My room was not on the street side, so very quiet. ButI was woken up by a lot of noise inside the building from around 6 AM. It sounded like wheelcarts.

6.7

The hotel was ok. Compared to the price and location in Paris, I think it was good. In general, I have to say that this arrondisment is not a highlight and for a romantic weekend you should better stay in St. Germain, but since we wanted to be quite central to Montmatre, Opera and Marais, it was ok. If you walk, it takes you around 45 min. to Louvre, 30 min to Centre Pompidou and about 15 to Place de la Republic -but the bistros and restaurants there I wouldn't recommend, so in the evening we always took a taxi to Marais or Opera. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. But anyway, if you're in Paris, the most of your time you spent in the city and therefore it was a good stay.

8.9

I found the staff very friendly.The hotel was spotless and the location excellent (2 stops from Gard du Nord station. ) Would definitely stay there again.

7.9

The only problem we have was that we are a family, and the three rooms were double, and we liked two with twins.

6.9

We stayed in a premier triple room which was just completed the renovation. Therefore the fresh paint smell was very strong. We were at the 2nd level where only 2 rooms were occupied including ours, the rest of rooms (more than 4) are still undergoing renovation. Most of the staffs in the hotel were nice and helpful, but one lady in the front desk was unprofessional. Breakfast was nice. Over all I think we will stay there again if we are in Paris, as it's convenient location and nice staffs. Hopefully the renovation works will be finished soon and no more smells.

7.8

We had a very nice triple room, taking into account that hotel rooms in Paris are always a bit tiny: we did not have to move the bed to get to the locker. Breakfast was very good (fresh fruit salad, various sorts of bread and croissants, Müsli, "English" breakfast). Very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.
