Best Western Anjou Lafayette Opera

I live in Paris and chose this hotel for my family during their recent visit from the US. They stayed in several rooms on the same floor of the hotel. The hotel is nicely designed, clean, and comfortable with all the modern conveniences. We found the owner and the staff to be kind, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is well-situated in a very nice neighborhood, on a quiet street just across the main road from a beautiful little park. There are many nice restaurants all around it, and it has easy access the metro and the main shopping district of Paris. I am directing out-of-town guests to my upcoming wedding there, and plan to recommend it for all my visiting friends and relatives in the future. less

Far from Gare du Nord station and not an easy location to find. Not recommended for family with kids as it is difficult to walk towards hotel from the train station. We booked it for three persons and they gave us a room which was even smaller for two. Too much noise coming from outside. less

The hotel needs updating. It is in a great location and the service is great! Rooms are small but this is not unexpected. It is on a quiet street but what's great is that it is accessible. I suspect the staff are overworked so a compliment will go a long way!! less

We stayed for 4 nights. Room was a very small twin room (we were tripping over each other) but clean. Please note: we had a shower over the bath so if you have mobility issues it might pay to check when booking what the bathroom set up is. Small requests for additional coffee, tea sachets and even spoons were attended to by staff. Some road noise as we had windows open due to room stuffiness and air-con was not adequate. Location within walking distance of Gare du Nord and there was a metro and bus stop close by though we did not use as we walked everywhere. Close by also were various eateries and a supermarket. Keys had to be left with reception each time you went out and we were given the wrong key on one occasion. Disappointingly day of check out we asked for a taxi to take us to the airport (we had been told previously there was no need to pre book as it never takes long) and there were issues trying to get through. We were told to just go out to the street and try and hail a cab. Easier said than done. less

I was satisfied with this hotel, I had booked it using Air Miles so was very impressed it was not like a Best Western in North America (which would be bland), it had the cute style that I love so much about hotels in Paris. Yes the room is small, but so cozy, with windows that opened so fresh air could come in. We arrived early from an overnight flight and they prepared our room so we could check in early. We also checked out a bit late, as we were super tired that am, and they did not seem to mind. The area is not as nice as some other parts of Paris I've stayed in but the Metro is very close. It is not that close of a walk to the Opera as I had expected so would recommend you save your feet and take the Metro at least a few stops to get into more central Paris. less
