Hotels in Gare de Paris-Est
Gare de l'Est is the easier of the two neighbouring northern termini. Street, taxi rank, concourse and platforms are all on the same level, and the concourse runs the full width of the station. Platforms come in colour groups: yellow, 2 to 12, usually for trains to Germany; 13 to 22 mainly for suburban trains; blue, 23 to 30, for main-line trains. Platform numbers appear 15 to 20 minutes before departure, and until then the boards tell you whether to wait by the yellow or the blue side. For a hotel, I stay close to the forecourt. Libertel Gare de l'Est Français is directly opposite, OKKO Hotels runs along the side of the station nearest Gare du Nord, and Gare du Nord itself is about ten minutes on foot, which makes this area a sensible base when a trip combines a Eurostar arrival with an onward train east. Metro lines 4, 5 and 7 stop beneath the station. The classic mistake is the station name: Eurostar does not use Gare de l'Est, and neither do trains to Brussels or Amsterdam, which leave from Gare du Nord.
Hotels near Gare de l'Est line the streets right around the forecourt: Hôtel Libertel Gare de l'Est Français stands opposite the station, and OKKO Hotels Paris Gare de l'Est runs alongside it on the Gare du Nord side. This is the station for trains east, to Reims, Nancy, Metz, Strasbourg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Munich, and it is entirely on one level, so a wheeled case rolls from the taxi rank to the platform without a step.
