Independent Opera - Department Stores hotels in Paris, France

very close to metro. good food all around. spoke english quite well. Free wireless - Unusual in Paris

Super well located at about 2 minutes from the no. 7 métro line and a 10-15 min walk from Gare du Nord. Nice cafés and restaurants in the area. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet lunch was nice. Funky décor. Modern and clean. Can be noisy when windows are opened, but that can easily be fixed with earplugs. I will definitely return to this hotel on my next trip to Paris.

Very modern hotel near to tube & RER. Staff were pleasant & helpful making calls to confirm my airport transfer. Lovely clean room with king size bed, free wifi was a bonus!! Breakfast was a optional choice of continental or buffet, Buffet choices were limited for 15 euro would except more but overall excellent!!

Extremely polite and accommodating hotel staff. Hotel decor is really interesting.

My wife and I stayed at 3 hotels during our trip to France (two in Paris), and Hotel Banke was the best overall. Nice rooms: our room had a tasteful modern decor, very clean with a comfy bed. As all rooms are in Paris, it's small by US standards, but comfortable - cozy without claustrophobia. It was warm this past week, and the AC worked splendidly. Great location: It's very nicely located by the Opera, a safe area right by tons of shops and traveller friendly restaurants (not tourist traps, though, as they still cater primarily to a local audience). It's right by the metro that's only a short trip to any sight. Superb staff: last but not least I want to give a shout out to a wonderful staff. Very friendly, smiling, and helpful. In our specific case, we faced a sudden train and taxi strike which could have inhibited us from ever making it to the airport to come home. The Hotel Banke staff worked with us to make sure we got proper transportation arrangements back to the airport and helped us navigate around a potential travel nightmare. For this I am truly grateful. Thanks again!!! So to sum it up: great location, nice clean rooms, and a very friendly helpful staff... My wife and I will definitely stay here next time.

Loved this hotel and it's location. Very clean, quiet space and a very helpful staff.

We arrived after having a meal and were greeted by an informative and friendly member of Staff (Juan). On arrival to our room we were very pleased with the presentation and cleanliness of both the sleeping area and the bathroom, the Jacuzzi bath tub tops everything off !!! For the duration of our stay all of the staff were very friendly and helpful with information on travel and attractions. I would highly recommend a stay here to friends, Craig

Had 2 days in this hotel, I will say that was good value for money. Nice location near the Opera, you could easily get there by walk (15-20 min), comfortable room, but breakfasts were too simple. I will recommend to visit some cafe near the hotel for a breakfast rather then have it the hotel

We were on a weekend trip with 2 children aged 5 and 8.We wanted to see ALL the usual highlights.It is easy to get the Metro from the hotel.The staff are so friendly and if you want a taxi it is there in 5 minutes.I can see other people complaining about noise on the street.Well, you are in the centre of town!! What do you expect?We thought the whole Residence Nell experience was great.We had a lovely babysitter so we could go out on Saturday night.I would love to come again.

Lovely little hotel in a a very central area. Recently renovated, we had a lovely spacious room (by European standards) with a great roof top terrace, Ask for room 603!
