Despite being booked well in advance (a couple of months) with a twin bedded room requested specifically in the reservation comments (and also checked upon arrival, "deux lits?" "Oui madame") we were given a double bedded room. Heated discussion ensued during which the receptionist remained very negative and disinterested leading to his eventually aquiescing and giving us what he described as a '3 bed' room, consisting of a double and a folding bed. Along with a bathroom in which you can't stand in front of the sink and close the door, there is also a large window/balcony overlooking a very busy street which has not been soundproofed in the slightest. Even now after midnight it's very noisy in the room. The room itself is tiny and painted a depressing shade of dark grey and vivid red, with what appears to be a clingfilm ceiling. We also weren't provided with a bin and its possible to hear the rest of the hotel's plumbing resonate through the tiny radiator which is strategically placed to cook the legs of the person sleeping in the folding bed while leaving whoever else is in the room gloriously untroubled by any sort of warmth. Outside the room the paintwork all over the inside of the building is shoddy and flaking, the lift can barely fit one person and a suitcase, the fire doors won't close under thier own power and the hallways are fitted with UV 'anti-junkie' lights. On the plus side, it is very close to the gare du nord, and the layout of the bathroom is such that should you need to have your face in the sink while sitting on the toilet, for whatever reason, you'll be in luck. Sadly when asked below whether i would recommend this hotel to a friend, there was no option along the lines of 'from hell's heart i say, a million times nay'. No will have to suffice.

Good location Many buses just in front of Hotel maubeuge Clean Hotel and also cheap recommandes to tripadvisor Readers

The hotel is conveniently located in a quiet street not too far from Gare du Nord (Eurostar to London or Paris as well as trains to Charles de Gaulle airport). Staff quite friendly. The room: dirty carpet, and one can hear people walking around the building. Other than that reasonably clean and the bed reasonably comfortable. Bathroom small but okay.
So, can do as an emergency crash pad, but nothing more.

We spent 2 nights at this hotel, but would not recommend it. The receptionists were friendly and helpful and so were the kind breakfast ladies. Breakfast was fine. The hotel itself is a disgrace, but apparently due to be renovated. All hotel carpets were disgustingly grubby, the showers had black mildew patches on the walls as there was no ventilation and one shower sloped down at an alarming angle and the floor felt spongey in the bedroom next to the shower - rotting floorboards? We were on the 5th floor. The fire escape plan (in case of fire or smoke in the stairwell) was to stand on the balcony and wait for help. The lift had broken on the first day which was a bore. My bed had been made by just pulling the covers up, the bottom sheet hadn't been smoothed out. We won't be staying there again!
