Hotel France d'Antin Opéra

Amazing place and very friendly staff! Also the hotel is very close to almost everything in Paris!

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.

I spent 2 nights at the hotel and loved it! The rooms are small but well appointed. The bed is comfortable. Loved the bathroom. I stayed in room 603 which was a corner room with 3 windows...lovely! This is a family-owned hotel. The owner checked me in when I arrived and was extremely helpful in regards to taxis, directions, things to do. I didn't realize she was the owned until the woman who checked me out told me. Her parents started the hotel and now she runs it. There is a continental breakfast for 15 euros and a bar for an evening drink. At every hour of the day, there is someone at the front desk who speaks English which I was expecting at a boutique hotel. Great neighborhood as well. I truly loved my experience.

Staffs were very kind and friendly. The room was too small. So convenient. Enjoyed very much.

Amazing staff and friendly service; all staff that I met were so kind, provided helpful tips and advice, and very welcoming. It’s in a wonderful location; I walked the whole trip (no public transit or taxis) and didn’t feel it was too strenuous. Lots of places to eat nearby and not too far from the main tourist attractions. The room was small; I traveled alone and the room was just big enough for me. Overall, a great visit! Would stay here again on another solo trip.

The location is perfectly located for all major sights. We walked to them all without issue. Great restaurants, great shopping and local markets nearby. Very quiet area. The rooms are good sized for Paris with brand new bathrooms and air conditioning. But, it’s the people that make this hotel great. Family owned for over 40 years (we know this because they actually take time to talk to the guests). Anne and Sebastian were extraordinary and generally cared about us and helping us enjoy our stay in Paris. We were warmly and genuinely greeted each coming and going asking about our adventures. They helped us book excursions and taxis whenever we needed. My kids said Sebastian was their favorite and they got to see Prince William.

Would recommend avoiding hotel. Had a room with a toilet in a closet and no sink - first time I’ve ever come across this sanitation/hygiene problem. No room to sit in toilet so had to put legs across into the room. Staff said this is normal in Paris but that’s not true given I have stayed in Paris multiple times. I should be refunded for the misadvertising of hotel room.
