New Hotel Opera - Paris

Average rating:  6.5

Guest type: Not Specified

stayed in Jan 2008

Largest room in our tour of Europe, bed was comfortable, and room was clean. Large bathroom. A little mold around the shower, but no big deal to me. We were on the third floor, facing the street, and heard a lot of traffic noise. One guy at the front desk was literally rude, his attitude wouldn't cut it in the states. The others weren't bad, and all spoke enough English for us to communicate. Very convenient to the subway. Elevator was small but functional, stairway wasn't bad. Breakfast was extra $$, we didn't eat there, so can't comment on the food. Room price seemed high compared to other cities we visited, but it was New Years, so it seemed everyone jacked up their prices. No minimum nights stay here though, so that helped (some places were requiring up to 5 nights stay). All in all not a bad place to stay, I wouldn't be afraid to stay here again.

My parents and I went to Paris on holiday and stayed 6 nights at Le Jardin Morny. The location is great, near the subway, restaurants, supermarket,bakery and about 20 min away on foot to the Louvre. The rooms are confortable and quiet. We had a problem with the elevator as our room was on the 5th floor and my parents are old, but the staff changed us to the 1st floor the day after. I would definetly stay there again.

We have stayed in paris five times and this was the best hotel we stayed in, staff were very friendly and the location was about 5 minutes walk from the opera area. We had a problem with our returned shuttle bus (we arranged this in advanced), there was a language barrier and staff at the hotel took the information and within 10 minutes had the problem solved. We will return to this hotel.

Location was quite good. Very close to a Metro station which was very handy. Not much going on in the immediate vicinity of the hotel - in terms of bars or restaurants. Had to walk down to the theatre distict for more choice - but not a big deal, only a 10-15 minute walk. Hotel itself was good. Rooms very clean and surprisingly spacious for Paris. Pubic areas rather basic but desk staff very helpful. Perfectly ok for a short break.

We had a small room, but all in all it was fine and the location is great. The price we had to pay was as indicated by venere.com but considerably higher than indicated in the room and outside the hotel. We assume this was due to the rugby worldchampionship. Seems to be the usual practice all over the world

This hotel serves the purpose of a clean room to stay in, clean bathrooms. Great location, terrific staff. The gentleman that worked the late night shift was so nice. Very close to metro stop. If you are looking for the ritz, this is not it. But if you spend the entire day and evening in the city this is the place to sleep. I will stay here again. We had 4 in the room, a little crowded but we were only there to sleep and shower. We did not do the breakfast plan.

Very well located hotel within walking distance to many sightseeing and transportation locations (Gare St Lazare, Blvd Haussmann) yet in a quiet street. Rooms are fine, not too big but ok. Large bathroom. Partitions are really thin between rooms and to the corridor so that your sleep can easily be disturbed in the morning by other customers. Breakfast is not included in price.

This Hotel is quite o.k. for a touristic stay in Paris. It is very well located in the quiet quarter near the St. Lazare Station. Montmartre and Opera are in food walking distance. Metro station close to the hotel. We have not had breakfast in the hotel since we preferred to have it in one of the bistos of the St. Lazare quarter. Only negative point: beds were too soft

We stayed here in fall 2003 and had a wonderful experience; that experience was repeated when we traveled to Paris this year. The rates through Venere are excellent; the hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful; the petit dejeuner (breakfast) is well worth the price as you get fresh bread, coffee, cheese ... nothing fancy but very nicely done. They're very close to Gare St. Lazare and Place de Clichy, so you have excellent access to all travel connections in Paris, yet the hotel is still a quiet place, and you'll get a good night's sleep. I will definitely stay here again and recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Paris at a great price!

Very nice hotel in very convenient location. Staff were a bit cold and seemed unfriendly but I guees that was just a lapse in concentration. Overall though, for the price, I was very impressed. It's also opposite the French Rugby Federation so you can go in and see the six nations trophy.

Rather nice budget hotel for family travellers. The location is good near several metro stations and department stores, yet the immediate surroundings are as peaceful as can be in a large city. For some reason the air conditioning had to be constantly running in our first floor rooms even in October - otherwise the air in the rooms became intolerable!

pillows in the room were sofa bed pillows and were black with dirt. No space in the room. We had ordered quadruple and got a double bed and a single sofa bed and after complaining got a camp bed. Wouldnt eat there as the dirt of the place was just too much. Staff unhelpful when there was someone in our room to begin with! Would not stay here again!

L'hotel ha una location eccezionale...il rapporto tra qualità del servizio, camere e prezzo è buono. Lo consiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono passare un bel week-end a Parigi. Attenzione al fatto che nel prezzo delle camere non è cvompresa la prima colazione, per cui dovrete pagare circa 9 euro a parte. Noi abbiamo risolto con una bella spesa al supermercato!

Spend a few more Euros and get a better hotel, this place is not worth it. Our family of 4 was cramped, the room was dirty, there was construction going on, we will not return.

Front desk staff at this hotel is very nice and speaks very good English. We missed our original reservation, and ended up stranded in Paris on the following night instead. The employee accomodated our family and gave us a discount on the room's stated price because of our misfortune. The rooms are adequate and the bathrooms are large for Paris standards. The only complaint is that the walls are paper thin. Great location close to 2 metro stations and Montmartre.

The staff at the hotel were brilliant, friendly and extremely helpful. The room however was another story, the bedspread was torn and the blankets looked like they were very old and had seen their last days.The sheets were clean. The saving grace was the bathroom which was exceptionally clean. The carpets were stained and looked dirty. Despite this the hotel staff were A1 and made up for all the negatives.

The hotel was located in a very accessable area and maybe they should advertise that more. It was only a 5 min walk from the Molin Rouge and a lively spot.The rooms were small but clean and we had a double bed (which was great. Our neighbours woke us on sat and sun night at 4am and my husband complained to the staff at 5am, they did phone them but it made no difference unable to sleep until they did at 6.15am. I also had a price from my booking reference but ended up paying 40e more for the breakfasts that we did not have. I cannot complain at all as we had a good time, the hotel was good for paris prices and the area was close to metro and train. Overall the quality and cleanliness was good for the price.

We were not told that breakfast was extra and when we did not have breakfast, we were charged for it anyway! We were told that it was included when there was no indication of this before hand and when it appeared to be added on.

All was perfect, exept the price by the breakfast, when we arrive in the reception tell us that the breakfast price was 5 euro, but in the check out was 10 euro by person, they don´t respect the price. even though I show the impresion the page in where you give me the confirmation and the prices.

Although the public areas of the hotel were spacious and nicely decorated, the double room we were allocated did not represent this at all, which was disappointing. The decor was old and peeling (with the exception of the bathroom which had obviously been renovated recently)and was extremely small in size. I do not, however, believe this was representative of all rooms and suggest we may have been simply unlucky in our allocation?(!) Also, we were not informed of any bar and indeed, could see no signs of the same. Breakfast, however, was excellent; plentiful and delicious, and the location of the hotel was exactly as described - ideal for getting around Paris. The price quoted was indeed the price charged for the room however, upon check-out we had to argue in order to get the 50% discounted breakfast which was a "special offer" with Venere - they really didn't want to honour it!

The room was worth the price we paid a night, 65 Euros. Our stay was comfortable however, the walls were a bit thin; we could hear our neighbors T.V. The reception was very helpful and could speak English quite good.

I dont know if we got a specially good deal because it was off season but value for money for us was great. The hotel was nice and clean and staff that we saw were courteous & helpful - breakfast was good and plentiful (self serve)and served form 6 -10, so great if you want a long lie and also great for early departure. The room was a really good size for Paris and the bathroom had a bath!! not just a shower. Good location but still quite quiet, handy for Metro and walking distance to Les Grands Magasins as well as Montmartre - all in all would stay again and recommend

The hotel was very nice and clean with friendly service. The only gripe I has was that the Liege Metro Station closed at 7:00pm and was closed all day Sunday, so it wasn't nearly as easy to get to a metro station as the map makes it out to be. Other than that, a great experience.

Rooms little bit shabby but clean, rest quite good. Freundliches Personal, nette Lounge und Frühstücksraum, Zimmer etwas heruntergekommen aber sauber. Bad groß aber nicht hübsch, Duschvorhang fehlte. Es gibt Zimmer unterschiedlilcher Größe (22 ist recht klein, das daneben deutlich größer). 65 € pro Nacht und DZ + 5 € Frühstück pro Pers. (Mitte Januar) ist O.K. Lage ist gut. Zur Métro Liege ca. 50m, zum Place de Clichy (mehrere Linien) ca. 150m. Wer was richtig Hübsches, Romantisches sucht, muß sicher mehr investieren. Ansonsten würde ich es weiterempfehlen.
