Grand Hotel Nouvel Opera - Paris, France     

stayed at this hotel for 6 nights with my boyfriend. the rooms were very clean and comfortable, small but not too small for a short break, ideal for a young couple wanting to just do the sight seeing in the day and out for a meal and a drink at night, as lots and lots of bars and restaurants very close, also a small shop next door where the owners were extremely nice and friendly, always had a smile on their faces, here we often brought snacks to last the day. however........the receptionist staff were incredible grumpy, yeah-they spoke english but they never welcomed you or said 'enjoy your stay'. also had to give your key in everytime you left, which was a right pain, seeing as half the time there was no one there to give it to, having to wait for someone. also was given someone elses key at one point. also the walls are extremely thin, could hear the couple upstairs (if you know what i mean). could also hear the constant screams of the americans next door, even though the hotel states that their rooms are sound proof. overall a nice stay, with metros very close by. its just a shame really about the unfriendly reception staff. would not recommend it for families nor older people.

Great Hotel close to the Voltaire's metro station. Rooms are pretty clean but a bit small. The Staff talk in a good English. Near the hotel you can find a lot of caf? and a Supermarket (Monoprix) open Mon-Sat 9-22 ;-)
