This hotel is on a busy street near the old Opera House. If you are using the Roissy Bus to transfer from the airport to downtown, this is a good location. I have stayed there twice for this reason. It does have AC and room safes even though the rooms are small...

Lovely place to stay, right in the centre of the city and easy to reach by bus from the Gare du Nord. Reception personnel very helpful, and the room was very clean. Highly recommended.

I stayed 6 nights. Value-priced Haussman-style Hotel very close to the Opera House, several Metro/RER lines and Galleries Lafayette (check out the top of GL for an excellent view of Paris and their cafeteria for a good cup of tea in Paris and value meals). I could walk to Louvre, Champs Elysee, Montmartre. Friendly staff speak English well (heard Spanish and Italian as well) and are very helpful. Room backed onto lift, so a bit noisy at times. Didn't try the continental breakfast but would have liked tea and coffee facilities in the room - even for an extra €10 per day as that's what it cost me to buy my 4 teas/ day.

excellent location. 1 minute exactly on foot from galleries lafayette. very very small room, but clean. very good, maybe one of the best as a base to explore paris. very central. polite and welcoming stuff. bit of noise from the metro going underneath, but not so frustrating. bit expensive, but overly normal for paris prices. will stay there again. recommended for families andfriends.

Bon séjour: chambre propre, agréable. On entend et on ressent juste un peu le métro quand il passe. Accueil très froid, dommage.

Hotel situado al lado de la Opera y de las galerías Lafayette. Es perfecto para conocer Paris, puedes llegar andando a prácticamente todo lo más importante. El personal del hotel es muy amable y hablan español. Vamos lo ideal si quieres estar todo el día pateando y usas el hotel lo mínimo. Quizás no esté muy actualizado pero es limpio.

As a single traveler, I asked for a single room which had a double bed placed against the wall just as you enter the room. There was very little room for me to open my suitcase and when I did, I wasn't able to open the closet door. These older hotels have such small rooms by American standards. At least it was quiet and the front desk personnel were pleasant. The lobby was not attractive and I saw only a few men sitting on a couch near the entrance one afternoon. The location near Roissy Bus' stop near the Opera Garnier was my reason for selecting this hotel and worked out well from that point of view. Otherwise, I would probably not choose to stay there again.

Nice, cheap hotel if you intend to travel a lot and not to spend too much time indoor. Right near Lafayette Galleries and Opera, and most important very close to almost 3 subway stations.

Great single rooms at the last floor. Very clean and cosy. Great location in the center. The inconvenient: noisy. You can hear your neighbours and the subway passing under but it didn't prevent from sleeping!

This is the fifth time we've visited Paris and the amount of hotels who DO NOT deliver is astounding! The Excelsior Opera was excellent and we will definitely be booking with them again! The front desk staff were particularly friendly and helpful, thank you!

Don't bother looking for any other hotel in Paris. This is the place to stay. This was my 6th trip to Paris. I have stayed at 4 and even 5 star hotels. Excelsior Opera is the BEST for price, location and warmth. Do yourself a favor and book this 100 year old hotel. No wonder it has been around so long, and in the same family. You are treated like royalty. I love the place and will ONLY stay there when I return to Paris. It is close to the metro, less than one minute walk. It's like being on 5th Avenue in New York. Close to the Opera, close to great restaurants, close to the finest shops and department stores. I can not praise the hotel enough. Stay here and enjoy Paris.

Realmente no es barato, pero que es barato en Paris. Hotel aceptable, bien ubicaado, el personal muy amable, principalmente Rene (creo que así se llama el sr.que está en las mañanas, incluso habla español.) A un lado del hotel esta un restaurant bastante aceptable, con personal amable, raro en Paris. Lo recomiendo

The situation is ideal for shopping and the Opera area; the rooms are old and small; the lift very narrow and slow; the internet connection not working. The breakfast poor. Apart from the situation, I would not recommend this hotel.

Excellent location! A few steps from Galeries Lafayette and the Opera Garnier. The hotel is easy to find, near the Roissybus stop for the airport, close to a metro stop and in a nice neighborhood. The only complaint is one of the receptionnists, who was rude. The others were very polite and helpful. Good quality for the price!

Excellent for a short stay with lots of sightseeing and little time in your hotel: fair room, beds and bathroom, but nothing more than the basics. As long as you keep that in mind, you'll like your stay.

The single rooms in this hotel are very small, even by European standards but North Americans should keep in mind, this is Europe - it's expensive, deal with it. The price however, was fair considering the location - one block from the Opera and Galleries Lafayette. Upgrading to a double room was worth the extra cahrge. The double room was spacious with a large bathroom and plenty of room in the closet. Like other places close to Paris' Metro, there was some noise from the subway cars as they passed under the hotel but not enough to wake you. For the budget-minded single traveller, the single room is good value if you are looking for a place close to the Opera, shopping and Metro. The front desk staff were helpful with directions and in making a reservation at another when my stay had to be extended and the Excelsior had no vacancies. The continental breakfast was as good as at any of Paris' cafes, especially the pain aux chocolat and the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel serves a terrific pizza and some great limoncello!

it was an awesome stay at this hotel!! although breakfast wasn't included, there were plenty of cafes and restaurants around the hotel- (if you book on the spot, breakfast is included.. if you book online, breakfast is not included)since opera is like the center of Paris, there were plenty of buses running everywhere, and it was easy to get to many places. since i was travelling alone, i was especially worried about the surroundings- but since there are two department stores, there are bunch of people around. i recommended this hotel to another traveller, and she also like it very much. it's very clean, and the rooms weren't so small as expected, and the people were very nice. except that is was cold at night, my overall stay was an A+.

A very good hotel for tourists who want to see Paris or shop. Great location - halfway between Montmartre and Louvre (both within a walking distance). Nice room, clean bathroom, friendly staff. The only problem is street noise - but it is the very centre of Paris after all.
