France d'Antin Opéra 酒店 - 巴黎

服務人員很親切，入住前二天遇到巴黎的高溫，飯店人員告知空調壞掉，晚上只可以開窗睡覺跟吹電風扇，一整個熱暈了～接下來今天氣溫下降就變得很舒服了。但服務人員很親切，在最後一天早上還招待我們一家吃早餐，以彌補空調壞掉的窘境。

The staff of the hotel were terrific. Location near Opera and the Louvre is hard to beat. The only (minor) issues were that my room was very small, shower water pressure was low and wifi was on occasion sporadic. Didn't impact the fact that it was a great stay. I was able to walk to my business meetings and public transit was readily available (until the general strike).

We love the balcony views of the street at this hotel, as well as the charming European quirks like the spiral staircase elevator that make you remember your stay here. The front desk is always helpful and friendly, and the breakfast is excellent. My wife loves this place, and has even sketched and painted pictures of this hotel's iconic exterior. However, the real secret of why we come back is the location. A very convenient walk to almost everything in the already-complete Opera district, including the Opera Metro stop, the Roissy bus to the CDG airport, the river banks, and all the major tourist destinations. Excellent restaurants, cafes, bars and shops are everywhere close by, including an entire district of Japanese and Korean restaurants with unique French twist. Standard rooms are a bit cramped and angular, but that is part of the charm - get used to it! Everything is clean, functional, and in good condition. I always get a good night's sleep. The hotel staff are also extremely good about any changes to one's schedule - very helpful if your trip itinerary changes (always a possibility in France). For the "brave" traveler who can put up with a 2-persons-with-luggage elevator and an "architecturally interesting" room in order to be a couple of minutes' walk from the best of Paris, this place is ideal. Memorable and you will likely want to come back.

Good location in general but that’s about it. Not 4 stars hotel. Maybe 2.5. On check in I asked why a deposit was needed, as this is not my usual experience, and was given flippant dismissive excuses that we might break a mirror or set the room on fire. They also said it covered the cost of using things in the room such as the mini bar (which actually was already paid for in the fee- you pay for the use of the room and everything in it?). Provided them credit card details but were given no receipt of this or reassurance that these details would be destroyed once we had left. The room was v. small, with bathroom separate to the toilet room (hygiene?). No shower curtain so using the shower = water everywhere. The fridge was stored in the wardrobe and was not stocked (so no mini bar that we had paid for). It also made the wardrobe so hot that our clothes were warm to the touch (& they had the gall to say *we* might cause a fire?). Had to leave the wardrobe open to try circulate some air and avoid a fire! The room was uncomfortably warm and gave us headaches. Air con was broken so couldn’t cool down. Opened windows to help but met with fume filled dirty air from smokers & scooters outside. Housekeeping was loud & slammed doors. Safe in wardrobe was not reset from previous users so could not reset as per instructions provided. Useless. On check out they didn’t even say thank you. Don’t waste your money here, go somewhere that cares about the comfort of its guests.

Excellent location! It’s safe, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and metro.
