Hotel Aulivia Opéra

Just like most hotels in Paris seem to be, room was small. Bathroom was immaculate, water fountain in the lobby was indispensable. Staff including Remy were amazing. Terrasses in the neighbourhood were plenty, but parts of the area were a little bit rough. Access to Metro fantastic from like three different stations. 20-45 minute walk to pretty much every tourist site. Small grocery and several pastry shops only a few doors down.

Rough crowd only a block away.

Cute aesthetics and nice staff working

That the property didn’t mention the window looked out to a blocked courtyard

The hotel’s quirkiness with well chosen art, etc. The provision of coffee machines, a machine dispensing cold sparkling and still water, a sweet bar - it’s the first hotel that I have felt was more interested in giving things than selling them. The staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful and made you feel special.

The pocket door on our en-suite was off its runner and my wife got stuck in the bathroom. One of the lights in the bathroom flickered non-stop. The main shower head was broken and water just poured out of it. Our bedroom was small and the gap between the bed and the window was so narrow I struggled to get in and out of bed.

Artistic style

Receptionist French girl was very nice but super negative and rude. Whatever we asked they told we have to go ourselves to the reception and bring to the room ourselves. It was water drop from AC. The washroom door was locked each time and was stressful. Room was humidic. Overall was clean inside.
