The 25-room Hotel Gramont Opera Paris is conveniently located within walking distance of a number of traditional attractions in Paris; the Louvre, Les Halles, and the Jardin des Tuileries are all within a 20-minute walk. As such, it is a popular tourist spot, despite slightly small rooms (though small rooms are common in Paris).

The Metro is nearby and Wi-Fi is free (but spotty).
Scene
Clean, stylish value hotel
The lobby is an elegant welcome to Hotel Gramont Opera Paris. Lavender, velour-covered Queen Anne chairs, and armchairs sit on a handsome white-and-black check tile floor; there are a few mirrors and gilt-framed prints on the walls. Visitors have noted, and the hotel seems to pride itself on, the fact that most of the hotel staff speak English and are particularly helpful; a large percentage of the clientele here are from English-speaking countries. Location and helpful staff are the highlights at this stylish, peaceful hotel.
Location
A few blocks from the Paris Opera, and an easy 20-minute walk to many major attractions
The Jardin des Tuileries, the Louvre, and Place St Michel are all within a 20-minute walk of the hotel, which sits a few blocks from the Paris Opera and half a block from the nearest metro stop, Quatre-Septembre. The area is filled with administrative buildings in the Haussmannian style; there is a plethora of cafés and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The Roissy Bus to and from CDG airport has its terminus at the back of Opera Garnier, a few minutes walk away.
Rooms
Serene yet tasteful rooms, in beige and lavender tones
Contemporary toile or floral wallpaper covers the walls in rooms at Hotel Gramont Opera Paris; some rooms are on the tight side, though this is common in Paris. Wall-to-wall carpeting keeps with the color scheme. Modern touches include velour, snakeskin-pattern throw pillows, and accent mirrors in the bathrooms. Some rooms have a balcony with views of the city. Bathrooms are diminutive with plastic stall showers. All rooms have small, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, a safe, a minibar (without alcohol), a hair dryer, and laundry service.
