This trip to Paris included three different hotels, but Hotel Astra Opera by Astotel stood out in every way. The service was exceptional—staff were genuinely warm, proactive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We checked in at 12:00 PM, and even though our room wasn’t ready yet, they smoothly arranged a temporary stay in a nearby aparthotel without any hassle. No long waits—no stress. In the afternoon and evening, the lobby offered complimentary tea and light snacks in a beautifully designed space. After a long day of shopping at the nearby department stores, coming back here for a quiet coffee felt like a real retreat—more relaxing than anywhere outside. The room itself was immaculately clean, with attention to detail I’ve only experienced in Japan: even our sleepwear was neatly folded. And during Christmas, while many places raised prices dramatically, this hotel kept rates steady—plus, free beverages were provided in-room. That kind of consistency and care is rare. If you’re looking for comfort, thoughtfulness, and great value in central Paris, this is the one.

Staying at Best Western Premier The Blake Paris Gare Saint Lazare was a real plus for our trip to Paris. The hotel is just a short walk from the M3 metro station at Europe, making it super convenient to get around the city. There are several local Chinese restaurants nearby—some surprisingly good—and across the street, there's a bakery and a small supermarket, perfect for grabbing essentials. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. That said, the room size is quite compact—opening a 26-inch suitcase leaves barely enough space for a 20-inch one, which ends up blocking the doorway. Also, if you're staying on floors four or above, be prepared to climb a narrow staircase; it’s not ideal with heavy luggage. Still, considering the excellent location, cleanliness, and overall comfort, this is a great choice for travelers who prioritize convenience over spaciousness. Definitely recommend for business trips or short stays.

Staff were welcoming and helpful—they even helped me book a table at a local restaurant, which was such a nice touch. The lobby has a modern, artistic vibe that’s great for relaxing or snapping some stylish photos. It’s clear this hotel values both comfort and style. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Paris. Highly recommended!
