Hôtel Châteaudun Opéra

Service — the reception staff is very friendly and helpful, which can be a great relief as you land in Paris after a long flight. I was in touch with the reception staff from about 2 weeks before we left in order to get the right address and the most efficient way to get from airport to hotel. You have to send an email to
and they reply in few hours. The correspondence level varied and the answers, but afterwards I realized it was the night duty vs day duty employees. The day reception employees were much friendlier and helpful. The hotel also lent us an umbrella and a power adapter. Alise and Judy were so courteous, sweet and helpful, they gave us all the advice on how to get to the tourist spots and even gave us maps, printed out timetables etc.
Room — The room was spacious (from Paris standards), clean and comfortable bed. The TV was too small. The bathroom was modern and clean. We didn’t try the breakfast (€ 11).
My only complaint about the hotel is the location. Priceline gave this hotel to us as if being in the Latin quarter/​St. Germain area, but it is clearly not there. It is in the Montmartre neighborhood. The hotel is very close to Notre Dame de Lorette station (not Notre Dame Cathedral) — so you can go anywhere by the metro, but you have to change at least 2 trains. There is no direct line from airport. You can take the Roissy bus to Opera (€ 11) and either walk to take a taxi (€ 8) from there. The hotel is not close to any tourist sites, famous restaurants. There is also a bus station right across from the hotel, but the frequency of buses seemed bleak. There are a couple of coffee shops downstairs but nothing special where you would like to spend time or sit down. The area seemed very official and we saw not many tourists around. All in all, a nice stay in Paris with a comfy room, a convenient way to get around but not the most fun location to stay.
