Golden Tulip Washington Opera - Paris, France     

This was delightful. Close to everything; good service and very nice rooms. Would definitely recommend this hotel

We orginally booked into VIctoires Opera. Upon arrival (about 4pm), we have been told that the room was not available due to redecoration and was transferred to their sister hotel Golden Tulip Washington Opera with upgrade. This hotel really is closed to metro station(Opera or Louvre) and sites that you would like to visit if you are a first time visitor to Paris. There are quite a few restaurants and supermarkets close to the hotel. In the morning, we decided to go to the bakery to buy fresh croissants. However be warn: unless you insist of getting a freshly made one from inside their kitchen, you would not be getting a freshly made one!!!!! Our rooms are clean, looks newly decorated and reasonable size. It is facing the side of the theatre. We have no noise issue. However we are a bit disturbed as to whether this is really an upgraded room as per the receptionist in VIctoires Opera. If that is the case, then I am not sure what so special about it, As this just looks like a standard Double to me!!!!! The evening desk front staff is really friendly and we find it extremely interesting to talk to. The day time one was just doing her job . Nothing to wow about!!! The lobby/check in area is nice and very welcoming!!! I am not sure whether in peak times whether they would have sufficient area to put your luggage if your flights/train is departing in the evening. As we were asked to put this in the check in area. So be warned you might face security issue!!!! This is classify as a 4 star hotel. I am not 100% convince this is the case. To give it the benefit of the doubt, I would say it is a low 4 star!!!
