Just got back from a 3 night stay with my 22 year old cousin. We booked the Hotel Gramont after its stellar reviews on TA. We were not disappointed. We took the Metro from the Paris Nord train station. The location was great. There were 3 different Metro stops in the vicinity- the biggest one (OPERA) was a 4 minute walk away. We arrived around 3pm and our room was ready (room 405). We had a room with 2 twin beds. The hotel and room were both very, very clean. Check in was a breeze and the front desk staff were very nice and helpful. Upon our arrival they gave us a Paris map and the code for free WIFI. That was a nice plus. Another nice plus were the fresh croissants (chocolate and regular) in the lobby. The room was small but it had everything we needed (safe, shower cap, shower gel, body lotion and a built in hair dryer (prob good for men but not so much for women). The ONLY reason this hotel did not get a 5 was because of the room noise (something a lot of people mentioned in prior reviews). Even on the 4th floor, you could hear cars go by and I even heard a woman walking with heels at 2am. We also heard the couple next door arguing and water rushing (maybe a toilet flushing). We woke up kind of late on our trip (9am) so there were times where someone was vacuuming outside our room from 8am on. There was also a small elevator which was nice. Regardless of the room noise, I would DEFINITELY come back. Thank you Hotel Gramont Paris for an amazing Paris stay!
On another note- we went to a great restaurant called Cafe National on Rue Italiens and MIchelieu- highly recommend it. It was around the corner- maybe a 4 minute walk. They had a menu in English but we were the only non-French in there and they had a fun bar scene.

My family of 8 adults and 4 youngs kids were there for 2 nights in January 2012. The pre-trip arrangement help assisted by Sandra and Aurelie is fantastic. They basically helped to advise and arrange for transport to and from the hotel without me having to break a sweat and source for it. The arrival and check in was great for us, but I am sure our noisy kids created a nightmare for them and the guests at that time. Everything was arrnaged as what we had asked for. But the baby cot given to us was spoilt and had to be changed, and that was quickly done.

Issues happen as we prepare for an early morning check out and that is mainly because the person there was a temporary staff and new, and therefore is rather lost and things started to be a bit messy.

That said, nothing can take away the friendliness and hospitality of Sandra and Aurelie, whom are still the nicest people we met in France during our 2 weeks there.

The staff was so friendly! Our room was clean and was actually pretty big considering that it was in Paris. We definitely would stay here again.

What about coming to France, more precisely Paris and being received with a smile and fresh croissants? Sandra wasn't there but Anne was and was very kind and helpful.
What makes this liitle Hotel different from the others? Just the whole staff! Caroll in the "petit dejeneur", Sandra in succeding to arrange transportaion for six people and a lot of luggage at 3:00 AM and chatting with us all the time with "joie de vivre" and calling my mother kindly as "MAMMY".
Unfortunately le parisiens are always in a hurry and have no time to be nice. Except in this little Hotel that makes you feel at home.
