Pax Opera Hotel Paris

( 3 stars , Paris , France )

The hotel boast a very well decorated lobby, the breakfast is reasonably well for the price and the staff is helpful. However, the room is very small and the interior is a total opposite of what you would expect from the welcoming lobby that they have. Some room has no view at all, the window open to a blank wall that mount the air-conditioner compressor. The room also have a pungent cigar smell that last throughout your stay. If your an artistic person you'll appreciate the very very uncoordinated multicolour bedsheet and matching curtains. If you are expecting to preserve a perfect mental memory of you vacation in Paris, do not stay here.

Rooms were, well, sort of clean I guess, but wow ..... not like the US rooms. Small, small, small. Like all Paris Hotel rooms. When I took a shower it made me feel creepy. (Take soap) Yes, a little bitty hair dryer. Three single beds side by side. No inbetween between them. Sandwiched together. I was there in the winter so don't know about the AC, but I'd bet money it doesn't have it. I definitely would not stay here again. Yes, I'm going back to Paris, but I am putting more money into a decent hotel room. I know it will be small, but yikes at least give me one with a lobby and not a window so that I feel like I'm going to bet on the horses!

The room was very big and comfortable. However, it clearly needs some renovation. The elevator is ridiculously tiny (good for one person with one suitcase). The breakfasts were excellent and the service superb.

Hotel is very friendly well located and clean. The only problem I had is that the single room is very, very small. I am not very used to have the bathroom (toilet too) in the room, but I took it as an interesting experience. Conclusion: hotel is OK! You
