Adagio Opera

Three “suggestions” to feel that I can give this perfectly located hotel - weigh a five star review on this basis - an average four, rather than the current three: - proper towels: the one we unfortunately found on arrival (see photo) was promptly replaced by the fabulous receptionist (Ermelin ?) but for the price I do feel that thicker / better quality linen is simply a must - lifts shared with the housekeeping crew !?! - one single water fountain on the ground floor means two arguably very energy inefficient lift trips all the way down and back up when you want to fill the provided glass water bottle (great touch by the way) Several highly positives aspects are basically shot down by the above three fails (sorry, there is simply no other word for them), namely: - perfect location - fantastically quiet building around its private courtyard - a/c that works well, very even (worthy of praise), and - fantastically friendly reception staff

Is this a perfect hotel with amazing beds, dreamy showers and luxurious deco? No Is this the best place to stay at when you want that feeling of being a true Parisian? Yes! The rooms are studio apartments or 1 bedroom apartments. Full kitchen (no oven though but combo microwave). Proper dining room table, living area for the bigger units, washer and dryer in the basement. At the HEART of everything you can desire, transportation to anywhere. I've lived in Paris 20 years and this is where I stay when I come back, to feel at home. Very quiet unless you are right under the Metro line.

Just visited as a family of four, children aged 12 and 8. Pros- - Location is great for shopping, local bistros, can walk to Louvre in 20 mins and not too far from anything. Also close to bus stop 1 on Toot Bus tour. - felt safe. Reassuring double entry system, key car required for the lift. Would have liked a bolt on the room door though. - apartment size was great. Amazing wrap around balcony, functional kitchen, great full size sofa bed for the children which was roomy. - helpful staff, one in particular helped us work out the Metro system so that we didn’t overpay. - Whilst the breakfast room is very small, most tastes are catered for. Some cereals, pastries, eggs etc. Cons- - the only major con for us was that our air conditioning did not work at all. Promises of a technician did not materialize. Unfortunately with daytime temperatures of 25/26, the room was very warm at night and because of the considerable road noise we could not open the windows. Made for uncomfortable sleep! - our apartment had steep stairs, probably not suitable for toddlers
