Kube Hotel

Great place to stay in...

Liked: Very nice and unique place! Very friendly staff - Rubin and the night shift person are very professional and nice. I also liked the interior design and restaurant/bar.
Disliked: The neighborhood is on the rough side, but they offer a garage to keep your car safe inside, and you can use Uber, if you'd like to avoid walking to the subway.

Exceptional

No air conditioning, dangerous bathtub...

Liked: The breakfast was good. A young man was making omelets to order. They had a nice coffee machine until it ran out of milk. The staff did their best.
Disliked: Despite being assured multiple times that there was air conditioning in our rooms (Paris: stone and concrete in August with heat waves and climate change), our rooms were like saunas. Nearly no airflow from the AC. The solution was to open the windows, which put us in the position of entertaining the lovely people across the street on their balconies less than 100 feet away. This also led to the ethnic beat and raucous noise from the "Kabul Cafe" which entertained us until midnight. The very large, deep bathtub (which was nice initially), but when it was time to get out, it had no non-slip strips, pull bars, or handles to get out, which was dangerous. They advertise an "airport shuttle" which was the front desk people calling a taxi - not the same thing. The neighborhood streets didn't seem conducive to survival after dark on foot.

Very good

Liked: aBreakfast was available but the restaurant and bar were closed afternoon and evening.??
Disliked: bar and restaurant open in evening.

Restaurant CLOSED for the whole...

Liked: Staff were polite and helpful
Disliked: Got to check in to be told the restaurant is CLOSED for the whole month of August. Given where the location is, we chose to order from JustEat. (It does say on their website it is closed, but not on booking.com so we were unaware) The room was ok, the flooring felt sticky and looked dirty. A little dated.

Very good

Superb

Close to Gare du Nord....

Liked: The room was huge and very big for Paris. Loved the layout and design
Disliked: For the 3 nights I stayed, there was hardly anyone at the bar to take our orders. It’s like there’s no staff on site expect on check in desk at entrance.
