Elysees Opera/America Opera Hotel - Paris, France.

Advantages: Location, Room Size
Disadvantages: Facilities offered were minimal.

...hotel. The hotel is named America Opera and Elysees Opera, i stayed in the Elysees Opera. I'm not sure as to why there are 2 names? Location The road of Rue de Turin was very easy to find. We got the Metro to the nearest stop, Rome, and we were provided with a small map illustrating the location. So we found the road and walked down it, only passing one hotel on the way down. This hotel was named The America Opera. However we had booked in ...
...(which said it was The America Opera) it said Elysees Opera. For some reason the hotel seems to be operating under 2 different names. So if you do decide to stay here, then make sure that you know what you are looking for. It is very easy to get to from the Gare du Nord, as you just take the Blue line (Number 2) towards Port Dauphine and get off at either Place de Clichy or Rome. We used Rome as it was at the less busy end of Boulevard Des Batignoles ...

Review of America Opera Hotel, Paris

A great Paris hotel

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

The first time I ever visited Paris I stayed at this hotel. I just left it up to my boyfriend and his dad to choose the accommodation as I knew nothing about this city at the time, except that it had the Eiffel Tower! When we looked it up on the internet there were a few flattering photographs, and because it was so close to the Gare du Nord (where we arrive from the Eurostar) it seemed like the perfect little hotel. It's in a great location for ...
...Location It's located in the heart of Paris, it's a lovely traditional looking building and is in the immediate neighbourhood of the amazing St Quention Market. This is a indoor market, it's hard to miss as it's a large metal stucture and is quite impressive and attractive. It's a good place to buy 'real' French food, although there is a no food policy in the hotel. This hotel benefits from excellent access to the Eurostar and Thalys rail ...

Review of Relais de Paris Lafayette, Paris

A Great Base for Exploring Paris

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Uphill walk

The Comfort Hotel Place Du Tertre is located in the Montmartre area of Paris and is a stone’s throw away from the Sacre Coeur church in one direction and the world famous Moulin Rouge cabaret club in the other. The nearest metro station is Blanche, which is on the blue (number two) line and connects straight to the main train station, Gard Du Nord, which makes it very easily accessible from the airport. From the metro station it is around a five ...
...bed and breakfast at the Comfort Hotel and I would say that this is about as good as you are going to get in terms of value for money. This hotel is no good if you expect luxury – as is always the case, you will have to pay through the roof for that. But as a cheap base for a short visit to this fascinating city, the Comfort Hotel Place du Tertre is an excellent choice. ...

Review of Comfort Hotel Place du Tertre, Paris

Perfect Hostel - It's All In The Name!

Advantages: Great location, staff and price
Disadvantages: It's very basic

-The Hotel- - As an ardent lover of all things Parisien, I have visitied the city numerous times and found this hotel a few years ago. Since then I have returned to the hotel (which is now officially classified as a hostel) four or five times and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the city on a shoe-string. - First of all I will say that if you're looking for luxury in Paris, the Hotel Perfect(and so this review) will be of no use ...
...Parisien hospitality coupled with a good location and excellent links, then read on! Floor space is at a huge premium in Paris, so to find such a well located, comfortable and clean place to stay, at such competitive prices, is really quite an achievement. - The hostel is located on Rue Rodier, in the Montmatre district of Paris. It's a ten minute walk (with luggage) from the Gare de Nord railway station, which will connect you to the airports and ...

Review of Perfect Hostel, Paris

Not the 'Paris' experience I was expecting

Advantages: near to subway station and nice bakery
Disadvantages: dirty basic rooms, scary man in our room, generally rude staff

...hostels when I arrived at Hostel Richard. Nothing, however prepared me for the experience ahead of me. On arriving at about 10pm my friend and I found the front door to the hostel blocked shut from the inside with a chair. After knocking on the door a man let us in, and in my opinion was rather rude! Throughout our check in he kept trying to look behind us to see the TV (which appeared to be showing some sort of porn!). The Hostel room was the dirtiest ...
...simply daren't visit the communal shower room! We used our sleeping bags as the sheets were dirty too. On our last night we were due to leave early in the morning - about 4pm to catch an early train. We were awake and getting ready at about 3am, when our bedroom door was unlocked from the outside, and the man from our check in experience entered our room. Obviously we were quite shocked to find a man entering our room at 3am! He then said 'Sorry ...
