Golden Tulip Hotel Washington Opera

The Hotel Washington Opera is GREAT! The room was very nice, clean, well appointed, good sized room (not the typical tiny European hotel room). No complaints about the room or location at all - the bathroom was very nicely done in marble, good sized vanity, and a great shower -- very clean! The Hotel Washington Opera is a quaint hotel, with very friendly staff, in a great location. Just a short walk to the Louvre, the Opera, a subway station, and great shopping! I would definitely stay there again!

Although a bit pricey, this hotel had a great location, very friendly staff and was great for those who are not proficient with french and are visiting Paris for the first time. During our next, trip we will be staying at this hotel.

Fabulous location, staff very friendly, aesthetics excellent, condition very good. The wireless internet service was erratic and unreliable. Dining facilities were only avaialable for breakfast, but there is a wealth of restaurants nearby. No in-room dining service. Rooms were a little small, but that's Paris!

The Washington Opera was a great hotel for the price! This was our first trip to Paris and we just went on blind faith as far as the hotel location was concerned, but it couldn't have been better. The room was spacious by European standards with a very nice, modern bathroom. The only downside was our room overlooked the street, which, with the windows open was a bit noisey in the evenings. The Louvre was only a 5 minute walk away as was the Metro/RER. We bought a 3 day pass and rode everywhere without much trouble. There is a laundry facility across the street, 2 markets within 2 minutes, many great restuarants, and a wonderful pastry shop just down a few doors. The hotel staff was fabulous and extremely helpful. The maid service was outstanding. One day my daughter was ill and we didn't leave our room until after 2:00 pm, upon our return, the room had been serviced! I can not comment on the breakfast service or room service as we did not use them. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again and recommend it without hesitation!

This is the place to stay while in Paris. Great service, most spoke english. The rooms were clean and everything worked great. Maybe a block from the Le Grand Colbert Restaurant. ease access to all the sites. Also there is a restaurant in the hotel and it also had good food.

The room was quite small, the bathroom was very small but overall both were clean. The elevator was small too and if you used the stairs, they were narrow and poorly lit. The breakfast wasn't worth the cost. Had to call down twice for our only two requests: 1) an iron and 2)ice. On the upside, this is a converted home and the back of the hotel was on a small, one-way street, facing a theater. The room (102) had double doors that opened out to this back street which was very pleasant as you could get in fresh air and sit and listen to the dinners chatting at a pizzeria at the end of the block. The Louve was just 1.5 blocks away which was conventinet. Overall, however, it was quite expensive for the size.

The hotel was about 5 blocks from the Louvre museum and it was a very easy walk to the Orsay museum, Notre Dame, Ste Chapelle, the Opera, and the Metro. Just North of the hotel was a busy area with shopping, Starbucks, Hard Rock Cafe, and many other sights. It was also just across the street from a bakery, a laundromat, and 2 doors from a store where we bought bottled water, soda, wine, and fresh fruit for a low price. We loved the location! The room we had (Room 501) was high enough that we could see over many neighboring buildings. The room was very neat and up to date and the maids kept the room extremely clean. We had excellent service from the staff at the front desk. Please note that the hotel was not able to exchange money, but there were banks nearby that could perform this service. We never ate at the hotel, since we loved eating at the nearby cafes, so we cannot rate the food at the hotel. The rooms had a safe, shower and tub, hairdryer (Pain to use, according to wife, since you have to hold down thumb button or it turns off), stocked mini-fridge, nice closet, etc. The room had windows that open to let in fresh air and there is heat and A/C. The windows blocked MOST noise, but at night some noise still came into the room. Overall, this was a great hotel and we really enjoyed it!

Breakfast was the same every morning and not included with the price of the room, as we are used to when traveling to Paris. Thrity Eu each morning for breakfast for two, that is a Lot of $$$.

Had a lovely room on the top floor with veiw to Palais Royal and city skyline. There is a lift or stairs to get to the room. Good location in close proximity to The Louvre and other sights. Service was excellent. No problems with speaking english. There is a small fridge in the room with drinks. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room so had to order room service or go out, which is a bit sad :o( There were plenty of places to get coffee/tea/ meals all of good quality and plenty very close to Hotel. Breakfast in the hotel was great with pastries, yoghurt, Fruit, coffee/tea/juice, Breadrolls ham and salami...Yum :o) We hired a Vespa, Left Bank Scooters delivered to the hotel and toured all the sights..really good fun with scooter parking just the other side of the road opposite the hotel entry. Shops in the area are plentiful and are the small boutique type stores selling anything you would want. We did go to Galleries Lafayette which is a large mall type centre, set out in sections by brand. Our 1st trip to Paris and Europe. We loved it.

We didn't spend much time in the hotel, having much to do in Paris. The room was small, but the bath was lovely, nice towels and bedding, however, the beds were hard and very close together. I thought the breakfast would be included and found that 15e was rather expensive for what we were served. The staff was friendly and helpful. Over all it was OK but seemed rather expensive since there were no perks.
