Best Western Anjou Lafayette Opera, Paris

Advantages: Perfect location, excellent access to Metro and sights.
Disadvantages: Bedroom doors bang loudly when they shut.

...there is a no food policy in the hotel. This hotel benefits from excellent access to the Eurostar and Thalys rail services. The main tourist attractions such as Sacré Coeur, Opéra, Louvre, Place de la Concorde, Les Halles, the Stade fe France and the famous Parisian department stores (Galeries Lafayette and Printemps) are just a few metro stops away. Traveling can be quite expensive if you don't book ahead and find the right pass. For guests who like nightlife there is a good choice of various theatres, cinemas and discotheques, and of course lots and lots of bars. Hotel Facilities * Breakfast room * Disabled facilities * Lobby * Parking facilities * Photocopying facilities * Reception * Safe deposit box * Tour desk I've never had to see the parking facilities as I always travel on the Eurostar and just walk around, so it may...

Disadvantages: Facilities offered were minimal.

...and Disneyland Paris. It is also in walking distance of Montmartre and Le Galleries Lafayette. I felt that our hotel was in a prime location making it easy for us to get around the city.

Overall for the location I would give it a 9/10, we never struggled to find anything that we were looking for, apart from the hotel itself in the first instance. Everything is easily accessible, and with a Patisserie and small shop... Read review

Advantages: Great sightseeing, excellent transport links, bargains to take advantage of
Disadvantages: Generally expensive

.... These are delicious and only cost about £2. The old fashioned bakeries here are also amazing for bagels and sachertorte. 3. For bargain-seeking culture vultures this is a must: the Paris opera house at Bastille sells off any spare tickets for the evening performance five minutes before it starts, VERY cheaply. If I remember rightly, it's less than half price, and available to anyone under 25, or over 65. If you fall outwith these categories, but look particularly young / old, they don't check ID. We saw a wonderful version of William Tell, and even though we couldn't get seats all together, it is very worth just experiencing the beautiful acoustics and quality of the performances. It is best to arrive about an hour before the start of the show to get into line. Don't go to the normal box-office, but turn left at the main doors and wait with an assembled... Read review
