Wow, I had the most wonderful experience at this hotel!! If you're reading this review then hi, book this place as soon as possible. I'm going to share a little of my story to explain how great the people and this hotel have been.
I recently moved to Paris and was staying at a different Airbnb (not this hotel) while I found my footing. I took a chance on it (the other place) and it ended up being a disaster resulting in me having to move out after one day and find a new place ASAP. It was the Airbnb horror story we are all scared of, and in another country! I was scared because I had no backup plan. However, I was lucky enough to find the Hotel Malte Opera and check-in within hours of me leaving my former disaster Airbnb. Coming here was like a breath of fresh air. The lobby was adorable and looked very trendy, photograph and posting worthy. The front desk was immediately accommodating and understanding of my situation so they did their best to be supportive and get me a good room that had extra space for the excess of luggage I had (because I was moving to Paris and had a lot of stuff). They even offered to let me store some of my luggage with them so it wouldn't crowd my room.
Rooms:
The rooms are excellent and well-appointed. Clean and has a little fridge that is restocked every day for free with refreshments. No alcohol if that's your thing but that's alright because a bottle of wine could fit in it (I checked). The staff cleaning was very respectful and would clean my room every day even if I was in it. I would just leave for a few minutes and they would make it all nice for me and come find me to tell me when it was ready for me to go back in.
If you are in need of a quiet room the courtyard-facing rooms are great and so peaceful. I stayed there for one night but I also stayed in a street-facing room. The street outside isn't super large or traffic-y so that was good. In all honesty, it could be noisy during the day but at night it was quiet enough for me to sleep and relax, and to be honest it made me feel like I was in the city of Paris which is what I came for. Also, the windows have black-out curtains which make a huge difference obviously. I worked for an interior designer in Los Angeles for years and I think the rooms were done very nicely and look modern. Especially the bathrooms. I'm a clean freak and the bathrooms were very clean by my standards. Overall the rooms were great.
Amenities;
What I also liked about this place was the great breakfast in the morning that included pastries, fresh fruit, bread, crepes, etc etc, and even vegetables one moring which can be rare to find in places. It was a great way to start the day. I recommend taking advantage of this because you walk a lot in Paris and can burn off the calories if you eat a lot for breakfast.
What I didn't realize until I was here and it was explained to me, is that there are a lot of hotel locations in Paris under the same company where you can use your room card to stop in and use their amenities as well. I was given a map that showed them all. 20+ locations I think. For example, let's say you're across town and need to pee or want a snack or even to use a gym... you can go to the other hotel and show them your room key from the Hotel Malte Opera and use their services. That's so cool.
Also, from 2pm-1am ( I think that's the time) there are snacks and such in the lobby which is great to grab before bed. Just a recommendation if you're a late-night snacker like me.
Location
In Paris areas are hit or miss, but let me tell you this area was perfect. SO SO SO close to everything. A grocery store down the road and a short walk to some great places. Really try and explore towards the Lourve when you are here. It was such a wonderful walk even at night. The opera and beautiful shops around the Ritz Carlton were close as well. I also recommend taking the M1 Metro line to get places which is located by the Lourve and a short walk away through a very cute and SAFE section of the city. Literally, a great area that made me feel so special and excited to be in Paris. There are also two security doors and an attendant always on duty that check to see who is at the door. You have to show them the room key or if they recognize you they will buzz you in while you wait in a section that is warmed and such so you aren't standing in the cold.
Long story short, I wish I could live in this hotel. I had an extended stay and I felt extremely valued and taken care of. The staff spoke English with me and even taught me some French words that I butchered but they were kind still. I can't thank them enough. I will recommend all my friends and family to stay here in the future.
I know this is a long review so I apologize but I hope it has helped you in some way. Please stay here and give them a chance. I know they will also match prices you find on apps or websites so keep that in mind.... but that didn't come from me so shh. Good luck and safe travels!
