I am not new to Paris. By now I have stayed in many hotels close to Madeleine or Opera, in a walking distance to almost everything you need to see in the city. The hotel is so old that it cannot be considered as a 3 star hotel. Maximum 2 stars, even worse. The stuff is friendly and helpful but the hotel itself is just very old. There is NO noise isolation between the rooms, you hear everything you are not supposed to hear. And in the middle of the night it's not fun. Breakfast is extremely poor : pains au chocolat, croissants, toasted bread, yogurt, primitive cerial ... That's it. And also the hotel is not located close to the "touristic area", you will have to walk minimum 20 minutes fast to reach Opera or Madeleine. Of course you can take the Metro but ... when you are in Paris you'd better walk ... Bottom line : if you are on a budget there are many other better options ... much better.
