Timhotel Opera Madeleine

Location was great, 8th Arr lots of sights, fashion,shopping Seine and all the sights within 20 minute walk, 25 to the Louvre. Marco Polo restaurant just outside the entrance was our go- to but tons of nice cafes in the area

The lift was a bit wonky especially from the entrance. Way too many stairs to hump a large large heavy suitcase up or down, so just had to figure it out. Not a big deal. People in Paris smoke A LOT. But not in the hotel.

There were 2 toilets and shwores in the room (FAMILY ROOM with 4 single beds), The location is excellent. Metro just outside the hotel, and bus station. The room was clean, the beds were very comfort. Many restaurants and shops near the hotel.

The shwores were very small

Perfect location

On checking out, the staff told us we had to pay a breakfast and showed us the bill with a signature. We denied it immediately and explained to the staff none of us had taken breakfast in the hotel and the signature was not ours. Luckily, our explanation was accepted. To avoid the recurrence of misunderstanding or unpleasant situations in the future, we would like to suggest that the hotel guests might be asked to show their room card with the room number before they can access the breakfast area.

This hotel was excellent for staying in Paris. We stayed for the weekend, and we couldn't have picked a better location. The hotel is situated near the train station Saint-Lazare. From there, we could quickly get the train and metro to almost any destination in Paris. You have an excellent connection to other cities: for example, Versailles could be reached either from Saint-Lazare directly or from Saint-Lazare to Montparnasse and from there to Versailles. The room was good in size for Paris, where mostly the rooms are small. The bathroom had shower gel/shampoo and hand soap. They cleaned the room, and it looked ok. The people at the reception were amicable. The place was quiet and very well isolated for the area it is located. Wonderful stay!

There was no toilet brush in the room, we had to ask one at the reception where they were very friendly and told us that more people asked for this, but they did not get them. I am not sure if the order was not delivered or because they did not want to put this in the rooms. It was just awkward and a little embarrassing to wait for the cleaning lady to brush the toilet.

Everything was great. We were 2 adults and 2 kids. Room had 4 single beds and 2 toilets which was the best! Comfortable and clean beds. Lovely view. Gare saint lazare and the bus station right in front of the hotel. Many restaurants right below the hotel. Fancy and casual. Kids loved it too! Many shops around and hotel very near to galerie lafayette, fnac, printemps malls. Had a great time. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The only reason i marked 9 is cause there is no significant waiting area in the hotel. My son was unwell but we had to check out at 12 so we had to go wait outside and spend time at a restaurant until the time to go to the airport.

The two main aspects that exceeded expectations were thereception staff. They were amazing providing great assistance in sorting out a series problem that arose whilst we were staying the hotel. Ms Sandrine and the rest of the reception staff cannot be thanked enough for their efforts. The second was the quality of the breakfasts - superb. Helped along by happy friendly staff who made going breakfast every day a treat.

Some reviews here made me nervous about the room size, however I found the room very adequately sized (we had a 3 person room), plenty of room to walk around and the bathroom was also adequate. The location is wonderful, two metro stations around the corner, most metro lines available. opera is a 10 mins walk, Eiffel Tower is about 3 stations away. There are some cafes around the corner, some fast food and some shops for both basics and a bit further you have a big shopping area Lafayette Gallery and all the usuals. The breakfast is simple but tasty, the salon didn’t feel too crowded and it was easy to get your treats. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Also, didn’t find the hotel hard to find at all.

nothing really, loved the stay, likely to come back

Even if the rooms are rather small (guess they were built with a businessperson staying in a single room in mind); it is extremely well located, virtually next door to a metro station and one block from Gare Saint Lazare; many buses stop right infront or nearby. It is within walking distance from Place de la Concorde. Considering the location, the rates are quite reasonable (1/3 compared to the hotel across the street). But the best thing in this hotel is the people in the front-desk, they walk the extra mile to help you, always with a smile and kind. I give them 5 stars.

Maybe a little larger rooms.

the Arya and the air conditioning

tolite very Smoll

It had air conditioning ( a very hot day - so very welcome) and had reasonable sized rooms- not those tiny ones often found in Paris where the bed takes up all the space. Bathroom was a good size also. The receptionists spoke English and were helpful. It was right across the road from the Gare Saint Lazare ( lovely station- my favourite) it was in amongst all the restaurants and shopping area - a very Buzzy area

Very hard to find the entrance- tiny door between two restaurants. Breakfast was a bit limited- but maybe as I was there in the final hour
