The Good: All staff friendly & helpful, a bowl of candy awaits you before you climb the stairs to your room (on some days), Room 33 was sizeable with French windows and tasteful furnishings. Wireless internet connection in room for free. The area is generally quiet, (extremely quiet on weekends). A 10 min walk to the Moulin Rouge district & 20 min walk to Montmarte or the Louvre in the opposite direction. 5 mins walk to closest Metro station (Le Peletier) and 5-6 mins to RER Hausmann St Lazare where two trains will take you to CDG airport. Small supermarket within 5-6 mins walk. Cafés within 5-6 mins walk The Not So Good: Mattress is rather hard (could be a good point for some), Windows in front rooms look out to an office building with large windows across the street (while we were there, not too many people were seen in the offices) You can smell cigarette smoke from the adjoining room (or could've been the café below) if those people smoke. Walls are far from sound proof (you can clearly hear snoring, people taking showers, people's wake up alarms). Could be cold in winter as there are only 2 small carpet rugs beside your bed and the rest is tiled floor, Wireless internet connection was extremely slow or non existent in the mornings & speedy about 5-10% of the time. The quietness of the area is pierced at times (after 7am) by rubbish collection, business deliveries, and horns sounding from passing cars. Having said all this when we came back and stayed for another night we were given a different room (with a double & single bed-can't remember the number). It was more spacious, no smoke was smelled from adjoining rooms or the café below. There was some confusion as to what our rate was at the end of the stay. The hotel incorrectly charged more money to our credit card after we checked out but this was credited back later after I emailed confirmation of the rate from Venere.com

Sono stata all'Hotel Mogador per 4 notti in una stanza doppia. Il personale è giovane, molto simpatico e disponibile...nonostante io non parlassi una parola di francese, hanno sempre cercato di farsi capire e di venirmi incontro! La colazione è ottima e abbondante (8,50 euro). La stanza e il bagno erano puliti. Ma la cosa veramente positiva è la posizione. E' molto vicino (5 minuti a piedi) a 3 linee di metro e alla fermata dell'autobus. Ma anche volendo uscire senza prendere i mezzi pubblici, si arriva all' Opera e alle Galeries Lafayette in 10 minuti. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo. Ci tornerei di sicuro.

The hotel is located in a good area close to some major shopping centers. You can walk by foot to reach some well known objectives. The room was clean but too narrow. The bath was very clean but again narrow. I would have appreciated if the shower wasn't fixed.

The staff at Hotel Mogador were incredibly friendly and helpful, plus the hotel itself was an excellent value--clean, cute, nicely decorated. As a 60-year-old woman traveling by myself, I found the hotel to be close to the action; yet, just far enough away to be very quiet. It was also in a safe neighborhood for walking. The metro was readily accessible, too. I will definitely return.

The hotel is described exactly by other reviews, clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, and located not too far from other restaurants and bars. The day front desk concierge is exceptionally friendly and helpful. It does not have an elevator but they prepared the room promptly when we arrived early and took our baggage to the room for us. At 130 Euros a night for a triple, it is the best deal in Paris. However, while the roof top terrace is quaint and comfortable to relax, it is surrounded by buildings and no view available at all. The 9 Euro breakfast though only consists of coffee, orange juice, yogurt, croissants and baguettes and we consider it pricey. We will certainly stay at Mogador Opera again next time.
