Horset Opera - Paris, France 

Great Hotel!

It was a great hotel. It had everything. Breakfast was good, with cereal, yogurt, pastries, etc. The staff were nice. The room was good. The twin beds were kind of close, but we were in Paris. (And the hotel rooms are small in Paris.) The bathroom was ok. The tub was hard to get out of. (I am disabled and my Mom is older, if that makes a difference.) We had an ok time in Paris, but won't be going back soon. It was raining when we were there, as well as a taxi strike.

Great Weekend in Paris

We selected this hotel on the basis of the rave reviews on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. We will definitely be going there again. The hotel itself was excellent. It was clean, luxurious for its class, comfortable, and very friendly. The rooms have air-conditioning. The staff spoke English fluently and were very helpful. We really gained the impression that we were important guests rather than an inconvenient annoyance interrupting the staff's day. The location was just what we wanted. The hotel is located in a quiet street near one of the main boulevards. The art galleries, Tuilleries, and the river were within easy walking distance. There is good shopping near by, and if you want it, the Opera House is just round the corner. There were plenty of French cafes in the area and a full range of Japonese, Korean, and Italian restaurants. If you only have time for one museum, the Musee d'Orsee is a must. Entrance to the Musee d'Orsee is free on the first Sunday of every month, but make sure you get there early. Admire the Louvre buildings from the outside, but don't bother fighting the crowds inside unless there is something specific that you want to see. The Picasso Museum is a hidden gem, and well worth the walk.

Excellent Service - can't go wrong with this one

With a 6 month old baby in tow we stayed for 4 nights and cannot speak highly enough of the effort the hotel made to make us comfortable. From the basics of providing a cot for the little one to taking the trouble to see if we needed a kettle or warmed milk etc. Otherwise the room was clean, comfortably furnished, TV had 20 odd channels with news in various languages including CNN, BBC News 24. The continental buffet breakfast was varied and more than adequate to see you through to lunchtime!! Most importantly for us, we were on the 5th floor and there was virtually no street noise in the room at night (unlike many hotels in Paris). The staff were very helpful (we had both the porter and the housekeeping supervisor ask if we needed any thing for the baby) and our questions were dealt with in a friendly manner. The location is also good - 10 mins walk from the Louvre and 2 mins from the Opera, 10 mins max to Galarie Layfayette. Many restaurants nearby offering French, Italian, Lebanese cuisine and beyond.
