The mid-range Hotel Astoria Opera - Astotel Paris sits on the edge of Paris' 8th Arrondissement, within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Within a two-minute walk of the Rome metro station, guests can get to most major tourist attractions in a half hour or less. The hotel's 86 Single, Double, and Triple Rooms are cheery and modern but, in typical Paris fashion, small. They're outfitted with air-conditioning, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Apartments with two connecting rooms are available too. The hotel has a chic, modern lobby and a bright breakfast room with a partial glass roof, where a daily buffet breakfast is served. Non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks are available for free throughout the day. The nearby New Orient Hotel offers similar property features but more traditional decor -- it's also pet-friendly.
