Hôtel Baudelaire Opéra

Stayed a few times in this hotel,, in the last 10 years, staff was/is always friendly and helpful. It is clean, comfy , there is a small fridge/mini-bar that comes really handy and the location is really hard to beat. I don’t know if all rooms are like that, I have always stayed in the same room. The building is about 400 years old so I find that quite amazing.

Did not like is in this case a bit much, let’s say what can or should be improved/changed. The heating unit in the bathroom did not work, but luckily the room temperature was fine and overall was not cold, however, the heater should work. I have received though an extra blanket and that was very helpful the first night. After that I did not really need it. And there is a permanent smell in the room coming from the carpet. It’s not strong, but there is a little smell of old carpet, cannot describe it any better. Maybe that is something the hotel should consider changing. The carpet was very clean , like everything else, but it’s just old. And if I may suggest, a water boiler could be a good thing to have in the room, not for having a coffee but eventually for being able to have a tea (I have brought my own teabags). The hotel offers breakfast only so asking for hot water in the evening/before going to bed for example, is not an option. Having said all this, I will return most probably to the same room :).
