Belta Hotel

We recently stayed here on a 4 night break, please see below positives and negatives. Positives * Great location * Close to some excellent bars and restaurants * Really Close to Gare de l’Est for Metro and not too far from Gare Du Nord for Eurostar * Some prior reviews about the area being rough are true however it felt very safe day and night. In fact great atmosphere in the area during the evening especially by canal * Hotel staff really polite and helpful * Hotel room is very clean with bed service/towels etc daily Negatives * Outdated room and hotel that could do with updating. Our bed was held together at the bottom with sellotape. One room light intermittently worked * Internal noise (specific room not necessarily whole hotel) was really bad. We could everything from people singing, going to toilet, using hair dryer and moving furniture above us etc?! * Breakfast was really disappointing (especially as they are charging €12) it was just bread, two varieties of pastries, cereal, boiled eggs. cold ham, cheese, cucumber, toms, just orange juice and yoghurt. The tables are laid on self serve trays which was off and made it feel like a canteen. We absolutely loved our time in Paris and chose this hotel due to location. The negatives above did not impact our break at all. If you are looking for somewhere that’s basic and just a place to sleep this fine, if not then look at different options. *
