Villa Opera Drouot

When I decided to take my wife to Paris for the start of our honeymoon I had in mind a classy Parisian hotel with character. When I found this place I knew it would be great. Not quite the classic I had in mind but full of character both in architecture and decor. It's not luxury or chique but it's comfortable and distinctively Parisian with some operatic glam thrown in. The bathroom was bigger in real life than it looked in the photo. The double bed was the classic Parisian-hotel two singles with one sheet affair although this was not as big a problem as I'd thought it might be.

We spent our honeymoon here, lovely hotel , lovely room,friendly staff who's english was much better than my french!. According to my wife ,very romantic too!

Location of hotel is so-so (unless you are going to the Folies Bergeres). Our stay was blighted by the complete lack of air conditioning (it was broken) on a 30+ C Paris night. Very average altogether, for a four star hotel.

We shose this hotel for the second of two nights in Paris because we were attracted by the pictures of over-the-top Empire style decor - a taste of acertain kind of France. It was comfortable, though the lift didn't always work. Mattress fine, but firm-ish. Barthroom spotless. No one to help take our bags up, and the man at the desk replied in English when we addressed him in French - which no doubt is intended to be helpful, but is in fact a bit frustrating if one is trying one's best!

The hotel was perfect. Beautiful hotel, very comfortable and the staff were great and helpful. It was in a great location for the metro and was a lovely 15 min walk to the louvre. Surrounding area has great bars and brasserries too. I would be staying here again. Wonderful hotel. Irish Couple - 04 Mar 09.

We stayed for the weekend with friends - looking for an inexpensive bolt-hole while we spent most of our time indulging ourselves in Paris. We were not expecting anything fancy but were pleasantly surprised as was our friend is Sales Director for a luxury global hotel group. The hotel has about 30 rooms across 6 floors, occupying the corner of a building - the bar and reception are tiny (but quaint enough for it), we never had breakfast so cannot comment but the rooms themselves were clean, surprisingly spacious and comfortable. For what we paid it was excellent value - just as well given a Sterling exchange rate that made one of the world's most expensive cities even more so!

This guest did not leave a comment.

The staff was very friendly. The hotel was beautiful and well kept. However, the air conditioning in the rooms does not cool well. Also, they did not make clear that breakfast in the morning was 18 euros a person!! When I checked in I was left with the impression that breakfast was included wtih the room and when I checked out they were going to charge us quite a bit of money for breakfast. Fortunately the manageer walked up and heard the conversation. I said I wouldn't have eaten breakfast if I had known it was 18 euros a person. She decided not to charge me.

One's first impressions of the hotel are colored by the neighborhood in which is located and by the reception staff - impressions which are inarguably at odds with one another. The neighborhood is busy, dirty and not very "bon vivant". Alternatively, there are many food choices - ranging from low to high end. The staff at reception are extremely helpful, welcoming and full of information, allaying any immediate fears one has that are caused by the neighborhood. The rooms are small but comfortable, as are the bathrooms. The hotel is 1 block from the Grand Boulevards metro stop (very convenient), making a tourist or businessperson's life quite a bit easier. The breakfast is definitely worth missing (re-heated croissants from a box and pre-made food), especially for the price.

bad service!

I am happy to have selected this hotel. I do not like to spend too much on hotels for a weekend away - especially in Paris, which in unbelievably expensive - even for someone who lives in London, but because of previous bad experiences there I decided I was going to spend a bit more. The only negative I have is that there was no iron available for my shirts. Staff were extremely friendly, the hotel is 2 minutes away from a Metro station and both to the South as well as North of the hotel there are plenty of restaurants and shops. It is small, too, which I like very much. I can recommend it highly.

We had a wonderful stay. This is a very nice and quiet hotel in one of the best areas in Paris; nicely decorated. the personnel was very, very helpful and coordinated all our events, they were a great resouce. Lots of restaurants at walking distance with affordable prices. We will definitely come back again!

This hotel was small and intimate 10 mins walk from Printemps and Galleries Lafayette. The rooms are European with good bathrooms. Hotel was quite and peaceful with good room service and breakfast room open all morning. Reception staff were extremely helpful and obliging. A very enjoyable stay!

Have been to Paris several times and this hotel is located in a section where you can walk to many sites. If you dont like to walk, stay elsewhere otherwise evrything worth seeing in Paris is less the 30 min walk. Good location for food, lots of little bars and Restaurants. Hotel is small but rooms are better then average size for Paris. Good for business or couples if you get a reasonable rate not a family hotel. Hard rock cafe is 1 block away.

As a business traveller this hotel wont provide you the normal requested standard. Free internet - Not in this hotel, even if they say so. Act on urgency - Elevator was broken and I asked to carry the bags to my hotel room so I could change and get on my way to a meeting. 30 minutes kater I picked them up myself while 4 people was standing in the reception doing nothing. I will never go back to this hotel.

Hotellet har ett bra läge, med gångavstånd ner till Seine, Centre Georges Pompidou, Louvren, m.m. Rummen har en lite ålderdomlig charm, även om åtminstone vårt rum var ganska litet. Personalen var trevlig. Vid incheckningen fick vi reda på att frukost skulle ingå, trots att det stått att den inte skulle ingå vid beställningen - det var en trevlig överraskning. Varför då inte ännu högre betyg? Dels tycker jag inte att rummen höll riktigt 4-stjärnig klass, mer 3-3,5 stjärnor. Dels var det två skavanker i vårt rum: ett eluttag slutade fungera, och genomrinningen i handfatet var väldigt långsam. Men ändå: Om du hittar ett bra pris för detta hotell så ska du inte vara orolig, utan kan lugnt slå till!

Très bon rapport qualité prix, centre ville, seul problème, les lits sont petits, je mesure 1m67, et mes pieds dépassés le lit...

Koseligt lite hotell, Litt lite rom .men heilt greit for oss.

Hotellet har en sjarmerende innredning og føles velidg "fransk". De ansatte er veldig hyggelige og hjelpsomme. Dessverre fungerte ikke aircondition på rommet, og vi måtte ha vinduene åpne. Veldig mye støy fra gaten. Beliggenheten er helt ok. Man kan gå til to metro stasjoner på kort tid.

Greit hotell. Prøvde ikke resturangen, men det er ikke langt til spiseplasser. (fra 5 meter og oppover)

Bra hotell för paret som är ute efter något speciellt. Inredningen är utöver det vanliga och väl genomtänkt. Fräscht och bra standard, riktigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal som ger det lilla extra.

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans cet hôtel et avons trouvé le séjour très agréable. Accueil sympathique, personnel serviable, chambre douillette même si petite, salle de bain superbe, petit déjeuner copieux et de qualité On nous a permis de laisser nos bagages en consigne gratuitement pour la journée afin de visiter Paris légers Seul petit bémol : lit à 2 places petit-petit pour des voyageurs d'1m75 et 1m80 ! Sinon, no problem, on y retournerait volontiers

Il problema e la puzza che esce dal WC del bagno

A nice hotel in a very interesting neighborhood where people are extremely friendly and helpful. Furthermore the hotel is very romantic, and it is placed near a central metro which makes it an obvious choice for a weekend in Paris.

Durant mon cour séjour dans cet hôtel j'ai vraiment pas été déçu c'est sur j'y retournerai sans hésiter

Ein sehr sauber und ordentlich geführtes Hotel in Paris mit guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis; schon fast ein Wunder ;-) Bei der nächsten Parisreise werde ich dieses Hotel wieder buchen!

Leider wirkte jeden Morgen um ca. 6:30 Uhr die Müllabfuhr mit lautem Getöse, anschließend wurde der gegenüberliegende Supermarkt mit entsprechendem Lärm angedient. Mit Schlafen war da nichts mehr drin! Daher nur guter Tip für Frühaufsteher

Zeer kleine kamer met slaapkamer op 1e verdieping. Hotel was totaal volgeboekt, waardoor wij deze normaal niet verhuurde kamer kregen. Op de slaapkamer konden wij amper normaal staan en moesten wij constant uitkijken voor ons hoofd. Daarnaast was de tweede dag onze kamer niet opgeruimd, schoongemaakt en lagen de oude handdoeken nog op de grond. Ondanks ons beklag, werd er zeer weinig gedaan om ons tegemoet te komen aan deze slechte service !!!

Nous avons passé un week-end en amoureux très agréable dans ce cadre assez luxueux et très parisien. La déco d'inspiration Napoléon 3 (???) donne un ton très original à cet hôtel (or, rouge). C'est vraiment romantique à souhait. En plus le personnel est très charmant et serviable et le quartier très vivant. C'est une adresse à recommander sans hésitation.
