Pavillon Opéra Grands Boulevards

( 3 stars , Paris , France )

May look elsewhere next time The staff here were really helpful and friendly and the hotel was in a good location for access to the center of Paris. The downside was the room - couldn't stand up in the shower, had to walk side on to get round the bed and the room was overlooking a very small and grotty courtyard and was dark an airless (would be dreadful in the summer months). This was the first time staying in a hotel in Paris so have no comparison, but I think I'd try somewhere else next time or even rent an apartment.

Not very easy to find. The guest may be confused by other nearby hotels.

This was the perfect Paris Hotel for us We were on quite a tight budget, we saved a lot by walking everywhere and taking the Metro (Subway). Don't rent a car or take a taxi if you don't have to. Also, learn how to order "tap water with a pitcher", otherwise they automatically assume you want bottled water, and it is $12 for a bottled water at restaurants! The regular tap water tastes fine. Go to a store and buy food, snacks, and water there, sooo cheap compared to eating out every meal.

We had heating problems cause the air conditioning didn't work well except for vacuuming our fresh air. We couldn't even breathe at night and the window -which was quite small- had a view against the building block. The breakfast was not included and costed 9 eur per person. Above all, the double room was too small that we hardly passed to the bathroom one by one. Bed sheets never had been changed all 3 night stay of ours. The location is not bad, close to the Grand Boulevards metro but there are better areas in Paris around the same cost. Beyond the negative points; Helpfull staff...

Great little hotel! Very pleaseant stay. Charming hotel. We were on the top floor. It was amazing how much they packed into such a small room.

Small but cosy Loads of really nice bars and restaurant right on the doorstep of the hotel, which was great. So we didn't have to venture far in the evenings to find a good evening out and good quality food.

This was the perfect Paris Hotel for us As so many do, we scoured the reviews of all hotels and pricing, location, and any info we could find before making that fateful plunge and booking our hotel. We knew rooms would be small, knew we’d be lucky to get A/C, knew we wanted to at least try to blend in with the local scene while my wife and I went to Paris for 3 days and this hotel was the perfect find for us. Yes, the rooms are small, but they have A/C, they have an elevator, they have hot water, they have a great little breakfast in the mornings (read the fine print, they DO charge you for it!), the hotel staff spoke English and were SO helpful. The location was so convenient, near the Printemps shopping district (which we highly recommend), near the Metro (subway, which is so easy and wonderful to use), and we were in the heart of the Theatre District and the Bohemian Movement from the Follies Bergere days. Only inconvenience was when we checked out the last day the hotel had called a taxi for us to go to the Train Station and while we ate breakfast they failed to inform us the Taxi couldn’t come - so I’m running through the streets trying to flag one down, none would stop, so we pulled our four roller bags (35-50 lbs. each) up and down the stairs in the subway and that was a pain for sure, but that was the only negative of this whole trip! We hit a home run with this hotel and were very pleased and would return no question. Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks We were on quite a tight budget, we saved a lot by walking everywhere and taking the Metro (Subway). Don’t rent a car or take a taxi if you don’t have to.
