“Hotel discreto”

Buona la posizione, comodo per la metropolitana, personale molto gentile (parlano anhe italiano). Nel complesso soddisfacente

“Great Location, Nice hotel good staff great place to stay to see paris”

This hotel was perfect for us & better than holiday inns in the states. The staff were kind and helpful when asked and spoke english well. The hotel was about 1 block from a metro stop so getting around was easy. There were 2 supermarkets near by too so it was easy to get snacks or breakfast to keep in room. It was very quiet at night in the neighborhood and we were able to sleep with the window open for cool fresh air. Room was clean and comfortable we had a king bed and rollaway for our daughter.

“Faded elegance”

A nice old building but in urgent need of refurbishment. Only old one told fashioned two person lift was in operation. Air conditioning was noisy, leaked and was ineffective. The gym is not operational at present (September 2011) Wifi is available but costs extra which is unusual these days. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Good location but hard to find.

“disappointed”

Location, lobby and restaurant get a good grade. Room was awful, dingy, shabby and not chic. They gave us what they call an executive suite but it was very small, on a first floor with a small window facing a wall. Dark, and so uninspiring compared to the online photos. We tried to change rooms but they were booked and the next day the only rooms available, although in somewhat better condition and large windows, were too small to place a bed for our child. We reserved and paid for a room for three and got a small room for 2 with no place to even put the luggage. Very far from 4 star accommodations and service.

“Charming, but not in "Opera"”

The hotel is fine and somewhat accessible. On a small street away from noise and traffic. However, the name is misleading. It is not in the "Opera" area as it claims. Walking to and from the hotel at night can give a sense of insecurity. And if you have children, you might not want to be in this area altogether. Also difficult to find a decent restaurant in the neighborhood within walking distance. I would not go back.

“Quite satisfactory excellent staff.”

The location not so great, but I fouind it convenient close to the METRO[ and many restaurants and supermarkets in the area. The rooms very clean and comfortable. Some times a bit noisy but tolerable. The best of all was the Staff. The price somehow in the expensive side. The elevator leaves a lot to be desired. The staff spoke good English.

“Tough location and getting past tattered chic”

Not sure how they got or who gave them a four star rating but it will long remain a mystery to me. On the up side the rooms are a bit larger than the usual in Paris and the staff was very nice. On the down side, it is on the edge of a neighborhood that is all new immigrants of mixed origins so it is crowded, noisy and shall we say .. messy. The hotel itself is in dire need of rehabilitation but if I were an investor I am not sure the money could be recovered considering where it is and the direction the neighborhood is taking.

“Paris from a convenient location”

Overall, my visit to Paris and this hotel was a great experience to share with my young son. The hotel was clean and the staff incredibly pleasant. I am a seasoned traveller and was not put off by what I would regard as a standard size room in the heart of any major European city. The true selling point was location, location, location... Although the surrounding area is not perfect, it is centrally located and within easy walking distance of both Gare Du Nord and the localised Metro stations, as well as Grands Boulevard. The only concern during our stay was the air-conditioning system (highlighted on earlier reviews), which was not very effective and did leak - however, the latter issue was resolved on the same day.

“Enjoyed the holiday but not location”

The hotel is not in the most tourisy part of Paris. I woul not feel comfortable walking around on my own at night. The hotel itself is in need of a lick of paint but the staff are freindly and the room always clean. The metro is not too far away and easy to get to other parts of Paris. There is a lovely bakers shop just around the corner which does an excellent breakfast deal - coffee/tea or freshly squeezed orange juice + croissant for 3 euros - a bargain and so tasty!
