Grand Hotel Nouvel Opera - Paris

Clean but tired. Elevator tiny and slow and quite loud (my room was adjacent to the lift). Paper thin walls, ridicuosly small bathroon, needed to squeeze past the sink to enter/exit the shower. If you want an inexpensive (Paris standards) bed, with WiFi and an adequate level of cleanliness... It'l do.

The hotel is a bit old. It could use some renocation (Especially on the elevator) The room is a bit small but it is normal for Paris hotels. It is placed a bit out of main metro lines but it is easy to make transfer in a couple of stations. The staff is over-friendly, to the main of driving you mad. It gets annoying after a couple of conversations

First room we were put in, door knob of bathroom was broken. Were moved to another room. Room was very tiny. Barely had enough room to move around. Be aware that most of the smaller hotels have very small elevators and showers.

Save your money. Rooms tiny. Location mediocre. Not clean.

Small rooms, small beds, but good service. The front desk was attentive and made sure that we knew how to get to Orly airport (via taxi is better than taking public transport). The hotel is not particularly close to the major sites, but there is a metro stop 400 feet away. Also, there is a large supermarket a few doors down (a big plus) that is open […] late. ATMs and a few restaurants nearby. Place Bastille is a 15 minute walk and there are plenty of lively restaurants there. All in all, a good value for the money. Read more

Heavy street noise with open windows. No air conditioning. No cross ventalation. The window opened across the bed at sitting level so you had to duck under it or close it. The bathrooms only shelf was supposed to be above the basin. It was missing and in 4 days still was not replaced. Soap and plastic cups were on the edge of the bathtub. The in room […] lock box had no batteries. One can image that they went dead, were removed and then the replacements never installed. One day the WiFi was broken; the next day there was no hot water: Read more

I liked this hotel because it's not at the city center yet you can easily walk to some attractions. The Siene river is down the street, 10-15 min walk. Notre Dame is a 30 min walk, and the Louvre is a 45 min walk. I enjoyed walking to these locations because you can see a lot of cool buildings and shops along the way. The Metro is close by too so that's […] always an option. Other than that the hotel was ok, the single beds were to small and the room was hot. The staff was friendly. One thing I didn't like was that room service came really early, like at 11am. Read more

Great, accommodating hotel. Despite being only a 2-star, the staff was really hospitable, and the room/BA was clean. We had fuzzy internet at first, but the staff helped move us to a room with better reception... I'd stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Clean, nice, pleasant hotel in Paris. Would recommend to budget travelers who are not so concerned about very clean or very comfortable. The bed was OK for sleeping. The room was not as small as other reviews make it out to be - there was definitely enough room to walk around inside of the room. Shower and bathroom were also nice. Staff was nice and […] accommodating. Also, in terms of location, it felt like a safe neighborhood. However, it was far from the center of Paris and I found myself having to metro there and back at the start and end of my day (though this was not bad, because Paris metro system is easy to figure out).

We recommend this hotel because the staff are absolutely wonderful in every way, because the location is prime for touring Paris, and because of the incredible price. The staff speak fluent English and are more than helpful in scheduling tours and answering questions. This is extremely valuable when you are in such a large foreign city such as Paris […] and you don't speak French. The rooms are small and you have little storage space, especially in the bathroom where you may not have room for shampoo or soap (depending on the room). We recommend that you bring along some type of storage accessories that you can hang from the shower and that you can hang by the bathroom mirror. You may also consider traveling light. However, for the price, there is no better deal anywhere. The rooms are clean and the maintenance man is anxious to accommodate you in any way he can. We will be coming back to this hotel and look forward to it. Read more

Just what you need if cannot pay a luxury hotel and you want a nice, modern, and clean hotel.

If you arrive with the expectation of a step up from a hostel (bathroom inside the room) you will not be disappointed. It is budget hotel. I was unable to use the toilet but had to sit sideways due to the very limited room between the toilet and shower. Unable to wash below my knees in the shower since unable to bend over in the shower. (have to open […] the door to bend). Good things: sheets were clean, plenty of water pressure with hot water and the heat in the room worked. Read more

The front desk staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, all spoke English (which helps for those of us who are horrible with other languages). The surrounding area is busy but the sound of the streets are concealed by the high quality windows in the hotel. There are two metro stations within a few blocks along with great bakeries and restaurants. […] My husband and I will stay there again. The rooms are small, bathrooms VERY small, but comfortable for a couple. The room rate was appropriate. Read more

My fiancée and I came to Paris to attend the Jim Morrison 40th Anniversary Celebration. It was my 8th time in Paris and her 4th time, so we have stayed in many different types of hotels all over the city. However, Grand Hotel Nouvel Opera is far and away THE BEST! It is a short stroll to 3 different Métro stations (Voltaire, Bastille and Ledru Rollin) […] in a lovely Bastille neighborhood. The hotel is literally steps from all the Morrison sites: his grave at Père Lachaise, his apartment, the Lézard King & La Renassaince Doors bars, and even Lè Bataclan music hall (where the Manzarek-Krieger Band played on July 3rd). All take at most 10-15 minutes to walk to. It's also a nice walk to the Latin Quarter across the river (less than an hour) and easy access to the rest of Paris thanks to the 3 Métro stations. The front desk and housecleaning staff could not have been friendlier and the room was big with a comfy bed, new HDTV, big closet, and a great ensuite bathroom with shower. The best part of the room was the massive windows which opened up all the way (essential for July in France when it is 90+ degrees Farenheit each day!). We will return to The City of Lights soon and when we do we will absolutely stay at Grand Hotel Nouvel Opera! Read more

The weekend-night staff is extremely nice. The guy gave us tips on how to survive Paris. He told us about tourist traps and gave advice on which tourist sites to visit on which days (Versailles is closed on Monday, the Louvre is busiest on Wednesdays). This guy was extremely nice and made the stay in this budget hotel worthwhile! The hotel itself is […] not amazing. It's good for a traveller on a budget. It's located about 2 blocks from the Volitaire station which allows access to all the major sites around Paris. The rooms are tiny but I've budget travelled around Europe and found that most budget rooms are tiny. They serve breakfast in the morning for an extra fee. There is wireless, but it's not guaranteed to work. This hotel location is good for an "authentic Paris" experience. This is not a high tourist area so you can experience or get an idea of what real Parisian life is like. Read more

This hotel was a good one, for the place and cleanliness of the hotel. The staff was helpful. We were there just for 1 day, prior to going south France. So it was close to Gare Lyon.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room and bed were super small, and the mattress was deformed and uncomfortable. The wi-fi didn't work in our room (at the end of the narrow hallway) and the people at the front desk didn't consider this a major problem. There is no air conditioning and the room is very stuffy at the end of a hot day. The night front desk guy was very friendly and […] helpful. The hotel is well located, near two subway stations, a nice grocery store, and a police station. Read more

The room was ok - basic. Bathroom seemed upgraded. The frontdesk was very helpful. There was a powerful odor - like dirty socks in the lobby and room. There was a tiny elevator. We took a van to the airport directly from the hotel - arranged by the hotel. Very close to metro stops - especially Voltaire. Walking distance to Bastille.

My sister and I were pleasantly surprised to find the staff very polite,nice and helpful and willing to speak English! The rooms were small but efficient. We really liked having a big window in the bathroom. There is a flat-screen TV with several french and international channels. There is a metro stop nearby and several grocery stores and restaurants.The […] neighborhood was quite quiet and safe at night.We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a cheap comfortable stay in Paris.

When I arrived, the staff was very helpful. They put me in my room, and when I opened the door, the room smelled like mildew, so I asked them to move me, and they did no questions asked! The rooms are a bit small, but just what you need when you don't spend much time there anyway. Close to a lot of amazing restaurants, open-air market, and Metro's for […] easy travel around Paris! The staff helped me with all my travel questions, even booked my friends and I a show at the Moulin Rouge for a great deal! I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking for a budget option, with friendly, helpful staff. Also, the Bastille neighborhood was a nice change from the tourist-y neighborhoods, a unique experience. If you're looking for something fancy and tourist-y this is not the place for you, but my group and I loved the 5 days we spent there! Read more

For the money ( "cheap" by Paris standards) this hotel was a great value....bathroom in my unit spacious by Parisian standards and newly remodeled. Room adequate with older carpet but clean (again a great value for the price). Bright and clean reception area with friendly helpful English speaking staff. Some road noise but nothing extreme...neighborhood […] is not that central but again easily walkable to Bastille and nightclub areas, close to metro stop, etc. Read more

On arriving we were told the room had not been paid for, even though we had paid 5 months before going, we felt there was no excuse why the reception should tell us this. Even though they must have been aware we re both almost 74, they allocated a room with a shower that we had to climb up 2 steps, one of them approx' 12" high to get into the cubicle, […] the door of which was only about 18" wide when open. We have recommended this hotel in the past, but never again, we know for sure it has not changed ownership because we recognized some of the staff from previous visits. Whatever else you do, do not go near this hotel with your own transport, they show no concern or provide any worthwhile information about where you can park without it costing a small fortune. Why they could not have some arrangements made with those responsible for parking in the area so that people could reserve a parking space at some reduce cost we cannot understand. Never again will we go to the hotel or encourage our children, grandchildren and friends too do so either. Read more

If you are looking for a cheap and very nice place to stay in Paris I will rate it top. it is so far the best I found in the area. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Paris is expensive city and I stayed during weekend so wat i got rates, room was ok according to that.

We booked 3 nights with a double bed but were given two singles. Shower was so small I had to squeeze in sideways. When we saw the reception the lady was very good and managed to get us a double bed and larger bathroom for the remaining two nights. I've stayed in about 7 hotels in Paris and this was ok for the price, but I'd probably try to find something […] better next time. With Paris accommodation one has to set one's expectations quite low, then be pleasantly surprised if it's better than expected! Read more

I was really pleased by my stay att GHNO. It is of course a 2 star hotel, but it was fresh, clean and the staff was really helpful and friendly. Breakfast is not included so we didn't try it out. The only downside with the hotel is that you can hear everything that is going on in the hallway through the room door. That can be disturbing if you are […] a light sleeper. The hotel is close to Bastille which is a "tourist restaurant area". But the smaller streets closer to the hotel is much more quiet and has lots of small bistros and restaurants and also boutiques and vintage shops. I recommend the area if you want to live fairly close to tourist attractions but don't want to live smack in the middle of them. Read more

This hotel is typical of a Parisian neighbourhood hotel: small, slightly shabby, a little noisy but perfectly comfortable and safe. The 11th is rapidly developing as a good part of Paris - plenty of restaurants and shops plus 2 Metro stations within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. If you want top of the range rooms, the latest decor etc. then look elsewhere […] - but you'll pay a lot more for it! Read more

The rooms in this hotel are quite basic but clean and warm. Our room was on the 5th floor with a balcony and great view. The street is very close to all the main restaurants and night life spots. It was very easy to access everywhere as you're very close to 2 metro lines. Its very good value because of its location. Staff were nice and helpful - water […] always hot and hotel was very cosy (it was freezing in Paris). Ps there's no bar or restaurant but they do offer breakfast for an additional €8 per person (we didn't try it). Its cheap and cheerful! Read more

Given 2 single beds instead of a double. After asking for a double the reply was - 'Your only staying for 2 nights, so I'm not bothering to change them'. What a joke! Hotel was cold and we couldn't sleep. The rooms are dark. I like visiting countries which have a different language, but even the staff can't speak English, which is very odd for a tourist […] destination. Read more

I could suggest this hotel to these people that don't think to spend lot of time into it! i mean, it's very essential, the good quality is the price/quality ratio and that's all! The position is good and it was very warm, the air conditioning is perfect. i hadn't breakfast, so i don't know how it is.

It is first of all an interesting location for promenades, restaurants, local trafic. I am less satisfied by the room confort especially the doubleroom bed which is a bit too small for two persons (it is maybe better to choose a twinroom). It is quite noisy and if you close the windows it can be a bit suffocating on summer time also because of the humidity. […] The bathrooms can be very small - but if you are lucky the staff are nice and you can get another room if available. To resume it is a not very comfortable two star hotel but with a very good location and nice and helpful staff. Quite all right if you want to save money. Read more

The hotel is basic, but clean and comfortable, and the staff friendly. The room was a bit cramped; likewise the bathroom, with barely room to move in the shower cubicle!

Otherwise, it the room was […] fine for a single night, on a business trip, but I wouldn't want to spend a romantic week there! Read more

For a cheap Parisian Hotel this was very good value for money. I have stayed at other hotels in Paris for the same price with the quality, size of room, location, and staff have been a lot worse. Of course I am not saying this is a 5 star affair but is great for what you pay. What was really striking was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. […] I guess the ultimate recommendation is that I will stay their again next time I am in Paris. Read more

Hotellet är rent och enkelt. På hotellet bodde det både par och singlar i olika åldrar och nationaliteter. Bra service av personalen i receptionen exempelvis de ger gärna tips på restauranger och hur man tar sig runt i stan. Läget på hotellet är mycket bra, nära till alla attraktioner via metro. I området Voltaire finns ett ganska stort restaurang- […] och barområde samt trevliga bagerier.

A cause du chantier, les ouvriers nous réveillaient à 8h00 en faisant du bruit juste à côté de notre fenêtre.
