Narrative:

While in cruise flight we received an ECAM warning of hydraulic res low level. We did the proper ECAM procedures and also notified company. After talking with [maintenance control] and company we made the decision to continue to ZZZ based on the weather and the runway length. The ECAM procedure meant that we would have to gravity extend the gear and also that we would not be able to clear the runway because we would not have nose wheel steering. We notified ATC that we would not be able to clear the runway and as a precaution had crash fire rescue equipment (crash fire rescue team) ready. We landed uneventfully in ZZZ. Crash fire and rescue met us on the runway after we safely stopped the plane and towed us into the ramp with no further complications. I don't think there was a way to prevent this from happening.
