Hotwire Hotel: 2* Paris (Opera Garnier - Galeries Lafayette) Comfort Hotel Opera Drouot

[SimonW]

First time in paris and will join my girlfriend one day after.

wanted a place to sleep with my own room and bathroom.

did not want a hostel or be in an unsafe area

so I tried priceline for a week with 2 to 4 * ranging from 60 to 95$ with no success in every zone inside Paris Center (including Montmartre and Montparnasse which I said it will be fine as long as the price was right).

So I excluded la defense, airport or gare du nord

Saw hotwire for 110$ for a 2* near Galeries Lafayette, which is perfect in location. (passage jouffroy is next door and has some of the best croissant I read through reviews(flaky and buttery)

so 111$ + tax, came to 127$ CAD (or 123 $ USD)

free breakfast (dont expect much)

free internet (a major plus) since Expedia hotel at this price range didn't include internet and was closer to Montmartre too.

Expedia has this hotel for 145$ + tax

the same hotel was available on priceline express deal as well for the same price because it was unavailable right after I purchased on Hotwire

Quite satisfied with the hotel but don't remember paying a 2* for 100$+ (in North America, I'm from Canada).
